Dear Angie,
I was so shocked and devastated to read about the loss of young Mitchell who lived next door to us for a time. He was always so sweet and kind to me. I can't even imagine what you are going through. My daughter told me that Mitchell was in her class when she did her student teaching and he was the most "all American boy she has ever taught" and she too cried when I told her.
Please know you are all in our thoughts and prayers.
We cannot lean on our own understanding when something so terrible happens, because there is no answer.
I am asking God to comfort you and lift you up.
