A Loss for Words
From Michelle:
I waited to post this until I was sure it was okay with my Aunt.
My 17 year old cousin, Daniel was killed in a car accident this weekend. His mom (my Aunt Carol) was pregnant with Daniel when I was pregnant with Garrett. They were friends their whole lives. Daniel was one of Garrett's best friends, if not his very best.
My Aunt is anguished. His whole family is hurting and in shock. Please pray for my Aunt Carol and all of Daniel's friends and family.
Today I'm traveling to Texas for the funeral, which takes place tomorrow. Please pray for the safety of those who will be traveling and for strength and peace for those who will be saying goodbye.
Brent is at home with Abby, Landis and Hannah. He is a world class multi-tasker. The kids will do great but I know he will be tired.
Thank you for praying.

How tragic, I'm so terribly sorry for your family's loss. Your poor aunt must be devastated.
It's such a shame that he is gone at such a young age.
I'll pray for your family.
I am so so sorry for your loss. The loss of any family member is extremely painful, but the loss of a child is truly devastating. You, your Aunt Carol, and your entire extended family are in my prayers.
I am so very sorry for you and your families loss. Praying for all!
I am so sorry, praying...
Praying for your family, Daniel's family and friends.
I am so sorry for your loss.. prayers for all of you...
Praying for your family..I know how hard it is to lose a child..I lost my son 20 years old in January... Please let your Aunt know about a wonderful organization called The Compassionate Friends that has support groups throughout the USA...it has been a life saver for me..
I am so sorry to hear of this loss.
Was Garrett able to attend the funeral with you? I hope so.
I will be praying for you and your extended family. I cannot imagine the pain.

Oh, Michelle, I'm so sorry. I can't imagine how your family must be feeling right now. I will be praying for your family.
I am so sorry to hear about the loss in your family. I remember "Aunt Carol" from all the times you have mentioned her in posts when Abby was in the hospitals and being treated. Carol has been such a blessing for you and my heart cries for the loss she is feeling at this time. We can't understand why someone so young is taken away from our lives, but it is then that we have to lean on God and family to get through these times. I wish that I could give you a hug and be there to cry "with" you, but just know that I will be asking God to give you the strength that you, Garrett and Daniel's family will need.
love and prayers..
