I would like to offer my condolences to his family, friends, fiance, and his two beautiful little girls. He was my daughter’s friend and it just breaks my heart that this happened to him. He was so young and had a ton of life to live! I pray that God will wrap his arms around the family at this time and help heal their broken hearts…xo
My heart and prayers go out to the family in this difficult time. May Almighty God give you strength and comfort in this difficult time. Psalm 9:9.
