God is good all the time! Even in a situation like this, he is always good. Just keep your head up, and your faith in him and he will do the rest. I will keep your family in my prayers, and trust in God that everything will be alright.



I don't know if I knew your daughter or not, because I haven't seen a picture yet, but I graduated from Higgins in 1999. I hope all the words of encouragement you receive will lift your spirits and bring joy back into your lives.
