Just Like That

In the blink of an eye, your life can change.

Our family learned that yesterday. My brother has been in the law enforcement field for over ten years, and still the toughest thing he has ever had to do is family notifications. Yesterday, one of his friends had to perform this official duty for my brother.

My sister-in-law, Melanie, was killed in a car accident on Thursday morning. She was 25 years old and the mother of two.

And the one thing that keeps worrying on my heart: I don't know if she was saved.

Please keep our family in your prayers over the next few days and weeks. The boys are doing okay, but I don't think they realize exactly what has happened. But, how do you tell a five year old his mother will never come home again to see him?

Funeral arrangements will be made this morning. Melanie's family will be here today. They are coming in from Florida and Canada. Please pray for their safety in travel as well as peace during the next few days.

We appreciate all the people who have called, stopped by, texted, and brought food. The support and love you have shared with us has been remembered and loved.
