Marie and I got tragic news yesterday; that our next youngest 26 yo grandchild, took his life with a gun at 8 am yesterday morning in Texas. We both grieving the loss, and I figured I would put it up here; so everyone would know why we're not posting as much.
Oh my goodness, Jake. My sincerest condolences to you, Marie, and your family. What a terrible thing.
thank you for letting us know the horrible news of this young man taking his life...your grandson...Please Lord i pray for your strength ...
That is such devastating news, and my heart breaks for both of you, Jake and Marie. Sending hogs to both of you and we will be keeping you and your family in our prayers. We will miss you here, but totally understand that it is important to be with family right now. Be safe, and God Bless…..
For a change, I am lost for words Jake. May our Lord help you wonderful people to find some peace and especially strength through it all. If you wish to just talk or perhaps even pray together, PM me and we’ll figure something out.
Thank you all for your condolence's. I'm off and on with emotions although I wanted to share this to us miracle that my son and us took as a message. This has been horrib le but with Gods help and a couple miracles and kindness of other At the funeral home my son his son and Corys mother were standing outside and this dove flew up to a tree then flew down and landed on Brandons hand, [ Bradon is Cory's brother and was real real close to cory and has been totally tore up and inconsolable since Cory passed} , My son took a picture yesterday of the dove and Brandon, picture below. God works in mysterious way's for sure. The song 'Wings Of A Dove' instantly came to mind, He really did send His love in more ways than one yesterday. My son and his ex-wife already have thier first son buried there and wanted Coey to be near his brother [ passed of crib death at 6months 30 years ago.] But the cost was $20,000.00. My youngest daughter gave $5000 all she had, both familkies gave. Then our sons boss offered interest free loan of 10.000.00. They are Lebanese and live in Lebanon where business is located.[where that terrible fertilizer disaster occurred]. Sone has been working for them since he left the Navy, flying all over the world setting up security. They said he is their best employee, so boss's son said no loan I give you 15,000.00 for funeral. No pay back. Listen to lyrics of song below.
Oh, Marie, that is SO wonderful ! Even in our worst times, a light shines through, and you can see how much people care for you. That is so awesome about the dove flying down and landing, and I believe that it is a message from God and your grandson because this is definitely not what you would expect from a wild bird. Your son is blessed to have such a wonderful boss to help with the burial expenses, too We all care about you (and your family) and those of us that pray will certainly be keeping you in our prayers as you go through this hard time in your lives,
