I am so sorry I'm just now finding this out - I would have been at the services yesterday. My heart goes out to you - we are never promised tomorrow but we also never are ready when something like this happens. The one thing we do know is that God never leaves us and is always there beside us - I pray that you and Savannah will find comfort in knowing he is with the Lord. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

Nancye,
My thoughts & prayers of comfort, mercy, love, strength, & all that you & Savannah, need now, also in the days to come, will be in abundance. It's been a pleasure getting to know you, Michael, & Savannah the past 5 years. I'm here, as I've shared w/you in our conversations this week & will continue to be, as long as you may need me. May God bless you all.
