Death is supposed to grab us by the throat, I think. Especially when someone young dies. May God's presence and promise bring comfort to you all.dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11991172981000479793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5791261486111154318.post-82631947290097225272012-05-14T18:56:22.187-05:002012-05-14T18:56:22.187-05:00Silenced by this ... prayers for those who have lo...Silenced by this ... prayers for those who have lost so much.S.

Met a family in a hospital waiting room about 10 years ago whose son died that very afternoon because of complications from Crohns. I don't know how old the young man was, but his father who I met was about the same age as my own father. They were devastated, but kept praising God for the time they had together. Made a big impact on me then, and still to this day. I'm not sure I have that much faith. In fact, I'm sure I don't.Jeff Jordanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09191820705109719146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5791261486111154318.post-68010003435280467902012-05-14T06:14:23.056-05:002012-05-14T06:14:23.056-05:00Glynn, I am so sorry for the loss of your son'...Glynn, I am so sorry for the loss of your son's friend.
