Niki and Chad,and all your families,
I am so sorry for your loss. Amber has given me updates from Jamie and your blog.
I know God loves all of you so much. He has trusted all of you with a great sorrow. God would not allow you to go through your sorrow if He did not trust you to get through it. He loves you so much and knows you will show His love to others through you and your faith. Please know you are in my prayers and that I love you but more importantly, GOD LOVES YOU!
If I can do anything, anything at all,any time day or night please call.
May God bless you and wrap His arms around you,
