I just heard about this and I am so sorry for your family. I have known the Deals for as long as I can remember. I know how painfully hard it is to lose a brother. As tough as it is right now, Lee will be an angel watching over you like Mike watches over me. Please let me know if I can help in any way. I love you guys.

October 7, 2009

I don't know your family but I have sons around Lee's age. Just know that your precious Lee was in the Lord's hands.
From the 139th Psalm:

13 For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother's womb.

14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.

15 My frame was not hidden from you
when I was made in the secret place.
When I was woven together in the depths of the earth,

16 your eyes saw my unformed body.
All the days ordained for me
were written in your book
before one of them came to be.

Amen.
With love in Christ's name,
a Savannah mother.
