Kathy,
Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers as you try to move through the days ahead. I have found that many times you don't know what else to say to God about how you feel. Remember, He knows our hearts and we just need to "be still and know He is God". No words are necessary. He knows our hearts. We will continue to lift you up in prayer.

Kathy and Billy, Shelley (Garrett)….what can I say? No words can ease your hurting and sadness right now, but know that my thoughts and prayers (along with many others) are with you at this time and in the days to come. I didn’t really know Andrew except as “Shelley’s little brother”, but he was part of a loving family that welcomed Sammye in and loved her like one of their own. For that, you will always have a special place in my heart. I’m sorry we can’t be at the service (Sammye is in Wyoming and Paul and I are out of town), but I hope that you will feel the thoughts, prayers, and support from your many friends who love you. God bless you…

Please know that I am here at any moment to listen. Never forget that God is our strength through these times that no mortal can understand.
