Stacy, no words can express the heartfelt sadness I feel for you and your girls. We are challenged every day by circumstances out of our control. You too will meet these challenges head on with the Lord's help and guidance and you too will come through it with a healed heart - that I know! Keep the Faith and never forget to ask for help when you need it! Praying for all of you!
