You are in our prayers. Psalms 119 says "Precious in the sight of God is the death of one of His saints." We do not always understand God's ways but we know He is always with us even unto the ends of the earth and He will be with you through this sorrow.

GOD BLESS YOU ALL! I was shocked to read that Adam had a twin and another brother go before him - My only child, Jason, was killed in a car accident 11 years ago and what a journey it has been. I can't imagine doing it three times - UNBELIEVABLE - PRAY, PRAY AND PRAY!!!!!!!!!!
