My deepest, most sincere condolences on the devastating loss of such a lovely, sweet, smart young lady. In all candor, I have four children and cannot imagine what you are all going through and will not insult you and say that I do. However, please know that you have "family" in Barbourville KY that is hurting with you, and who will pray for you all, now and in the days/weeks/months ahead. I pray for God's strength for your family to endure such horror and find grace and hope again.
