I know this painful loss, as I also lost my younger sibling. My many thoughts and prayers are with all of you!! May Gods grace comfort you, and bring you peace during this difficult time. Cherish all the memories of them in your hearts forever!!

I am heartbroken, as I know family and friends are, over the loss of Ms. McKean and her son Gideon. I didn't know her or her son and they didn't know me, but I am compelled to offer my condolences. There are people who didn't know her and her son but are praying for family and friends that God will abundantly comfort and make each day a little less sorrowful leaving nothing but the good they did. From the articles I've read about Ms. McKean she cared about people and did a lot of good. Her legacy will never be forgotten and her son will not be forgotten. They will live on in the hearts of family and friends. For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal live (John 3:16). God Bless
