Butch and Cathy, you have my heart-felt sympathy for the loss of your child. September 19, 1998 we lost our youngest daughter in a traffic crash, and know the heartbreak and sorrow you are feeling. What keeps us going is our faith in God and that He does not make mistakes. I pray He will help you through this.

To the Strubble Family,



It's hard to believe that families have to deal with such tragedies, such as your son. Our family knows the pain too, we lost our 18 year old son last year in a Motorcycle Crash. We know your pain and know it's not easy. Please know that we are here for you if you need a friend to talk to. No one knows the pain unless they have been through this.

Please know we care and your family is in our prayers.

Skip, Tina and Kelsei McElhenny
