Van,
The older I get the more questions I have than answers. It is difficult to accept what we can not understand. I pray that you will continue to look toward God for the answers that only He holds. Your family has always been so special to me. I wish there was something I could do or say to give you comfort.
Much love,
Judy (Carol)

You are all in our prayers. This is a time that has its own place. I have many memories of the kids in the summers riding 4wheelers and just goofing off. All your memories will bring you comfort in time. No one will ever hold the space he held. The lord never leaves our side and sometimes he just has to pick us up and carry us on. You will see him again this I truly believe and that helps you move on.
