Emotionally Exhausted

This past week has been a very trying week. As most of you know, my husband is the funeral director in our small town of about 1,400 people.

This past week two boys, both seniors in high school, were electrocuted on a farm that they both worked at. They were trying to free a raccoon from an aluminum pipe when it accidently came in contact with electrical wires.

Their deaths rocked our community. Both young men were very involved in the school as well as the community. Nick was the senior class president, a member of the golf team, clay trap shooting team, FFA, Principal's Advisory Committee, etc. Nick was a member of the clay trap shooting team, a member of the fishing team, FFA, etc.

Would you please pray for both Nick & Justin's families, their classmates, their friends, & just our community as a whole?

Heather,
I am so sorry!!! What a tragedy to lose two young men in your community. It's so sad to see young ones leave this earth before their time. I always think that God has big plans and we just don't always "get it". I can imagine the sadness everyone is feeling right now. Please know that I am lifting their families up, your community, and your sweet family!!!
