Our hearts cry with you in the loss of Gideon. He is a fine young man who was raised with Truth. We may never understand the ways of our Lord while here on Earth, but we can take comfort in his Word.
Romans 8:18
For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
Romans 8:28
And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
