Jan, My thoughts and prayers to you and your family. I really don't know what to say, except God is in Control and He will lead you out of this with a stronger faith and a stronger heart. As many will tell you I am not usually short on words, but this really makes me really sit back and think. I will be 32 in a few months. Lord, may Your peace and comfort be with this family through this tough time, Amen.

Drew---thank you so much for your words of support. I hope you do sit back and think because when you are that young you don't; even at my age (56) I don't stop and think about something like this. I wish my son had because insurance and a will would have made things much easier in the long run for the children he left behind. But I know that we don't think about these things enough. Thank you again for you support. It means all the world to me to have the support of others at this time.
