please pray for my husband and his family

We found out last night that my husband's brother was killed. He was 31 yrs. old, with a mentality of a 14 yr. old. He was in the back of a truck with some logs they had just cut for firewood, when the logs shifted and he fell out of the truck.

My husband is having a very hard time dealing with this loss. He was very closed to his brother. My husband's mother is in a nursing home at 54 yrs. of age, as a result of severe brain damage she suffered in 1992 from an auto accident. We will be talking to her tonight.

Any prayers that you can send up for us is greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Leigh

I am very sorry for your loss. I will keep all of you in my prayers. I lost my brother right before he turned 30 and I was 21. It is hard. You're all in my thoughts and prayers.
