Revelations 7:13-16
13Then one of the elders asked me, "These in white robes—who are they, and where did they come from?"
14 I answered, "Sir, you know."
And he said, "These are they who have come out of the great tribulation; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. 15 Therefore,
"they are before the throne of God
and serve him day and night in his temple;
and he who sits on the throne will spread his tent over them.
16 Never again will they hunger;
never again will they thirst.
The sun will not beat upon them,
nor any scorching heat.
I passed your son on the highway while he was going into the ambulance. I started praying for him and you at that moment. I've often wondered what happened. Later, I stopped while passing on the way home and read his wooden cross. I have wanted to leave you a letter but the cross is since gone, however I continue to pray. I pass the broken tree every morning and I am reminded to pray. I do not know you except to have passed the accident at 7:30am that morning. I looked his name up in the paper not too much later. Today, I plugged it in and found this. You and your family and his children are being prayed for to this very day and will continue to be....Blessings over you and your family.
Peace be brought to your hearts. Protection over you and yours, may his children be hearts for Christ's children may you not turn away.
In Christ....and I pray. Amen

Why did you have to go, so young I just don't know why, things happen half the time, without reason, without rhyme. Handsome smiling young man, father son and brother makes no sense to me I just have to believe you flew up to heaven on the wings of angels by the clouds and stars and passed where no one sees and you walk with Jesus and your loved ones waiting and I know your smiling saying don't worry 'bout me.Loved ones you left behind just trying to survive and understand the why feeling so lost inside anger shot straight at God then asking for his love empty with disbelief just hoping that maybe you flew up to heaven on the wings of angels by the clouds and stars and passed where no one sees and you walk with Jesus and your loved ones waiting and I know your smiling saying don't worry 'bout me. It's hard to say goodbye your picture in my mind will always be of times I'll cherish and I won't cry cause you flew up to heaven on the wings of angels by the clouds and stars and passed where no one sees and you walk with Jesus and your loved ones waiting and I know your smiling saying don't worry 'bout me. Love forever and always your Mom.

Sean I never got the chance to say these things to you, I was going to tell you when we on our little fishing trip. Sean, we didn’t start off on the right foot but I think we ended on a good note. I know in my heart as time would have gone on that we would have grown to be the best of friends. Thank you for being there, for loving and for taking such great care of Taylor and Kaytelynn and treating them like they were your very own, especially while Cindy and I were hashing out our problems, I know it wasn’t always easy for you. For that being said I am in debt to you, I know that if it would have been me instead of you that you would have stepped up even more to fill in for me as a father, a teacher and a protector …and if ever given the chance it would be an honor and a pleasure that I would do the same for you and your little girls in a heart beat. You will be greatly missed by me and my family man, May you rest in piece.

Cindy-
I'm not sure if you even remember me, but we started to become pretty good friends while hanging out at the farm when I was dating Chris Jensen. I'm so very sorry for your loss! I know it's been a few years since we've even spoken but just know that I'm here for you guys, even if it's just to talk and get to know each other again...I'm here girl!!! You and your children are in my thoughts and prayers! God Bless!

Sean, you were a great friend to us all, and will be very much missed. I feel bad that our contact grew fewer and more far between over the past couple of years, but someday we will all get to enjoy your company again. To your family, friends, fiancée, and children, I wish you all the very best of luck as you deal with this time of tragedy.
