How Quickly Things Change...

On Saturday afternoon we met up with my cousin Carrie, her husband Ed and their new baby. We went to a smorgasborg style restaurant, ate more than was healthy for us and considered touring the local Budweiser factory.

On Sunday morning we were notified by email that Ed's brother, sister- in- law and nephew had died in a plane crash on Saturday afternoon, leaving behind two teenagers. It was a horrible shock to hear, so I can only imagine what the family is going through right now. Please say a prayer for comfort for the family and especially the children.

Oh my word ... that's unfathomable to me. Will pray for peace and comfort through this awful news.

I will pray for them and their family.

Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord,
and let perpetual light shine upon them.

From the gates of Hell
rescue their souls, O Lord.

May their souls and the souls of all the faithful depearted, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
Amen.

I just finished talking to Elaine and she mentioned this tragedy. I can't fathom what you are going through. You and your family are in my prayers. Words fail me and Br Robert probably said it best.
