My heart goes out to Jamie's family. I am praying for GOD'S GRACE in the days to come. Cody, you said hunting snakes was your father-son time and that you will miss that. Just remember GOD said HE will be: father, mother, sister or brother and fill the void. My mother died when I was 10 and after 53 years I still look forward to the day when I will see her again in HEAVEN.To all of the family: I will continue to pray that GOD will give you all you need during the days to come.
