I will be back

But I can't say when. Our son was tragically killed in a car accident yesterday. The pain is almost unbearable. But I have had a note tucked in my Bible for years from my son that reads:

Mom and Dad

Pray that I will have a safe trip. I know where I am going because I have accepted Jesus as my savior. You are great parents. Thank you for everything.

Your prayers for our family would be appreciated. There is some comfort knowing Jeremy is in Heaven but the hole he left behind in our hearts and lives is huge. He was a loving husband, father, son, brother to his twin, brother to his sisters, uncle to 4.
