Lord Have Mercy is my prayer to you both. It's hard to understand why things happen, sometimes even harder to call on God who is incontrol of all things. Please know that He IS in control and from him we all came, and like all obedient children, when our parents call us to come inside, we must answer and go home.
I'll continue to keep you both and the rest of the family in my thoughts and prayers.

Words cannot express this feeling of deep loss the two of you must be feeling. When you feel you have nothing left to hold onto please remember to hold onto God. Let him be your strength. I love you both Alecia and Preston and DJ will be missed but never forgotten.
