Desiree and kids, I cannot begin to understand why God ended your precious lives this way. I just pray for understanding and accepting God's plan to take you. It doesn't take away the hurt and pain but I do hope one day I will understand why. If I don't, I hope that your legacy will speak volumes for those of us who cannot comprehend such a terrible tragedy find peace. God Bless.
