This is so sad :( Good luck to his family. Brian recognizes both him and his wife from school and he is really depressed about this. Such a beautiful family.
ReplyDeleteIsn't this SO sad? Jer served his mission with him. I don't know if it's true, but I think I read somewhere that she is also 10 weeks pregnant. My heart is broken for that family.
ReplyDeleteYeah Jen, she's 10 weeks pregnant. I didn't know Jeremy served with him. Small world.
ReplyDeleteWow - so sad. I feel really bad for his wife and family. My thoughts are with them. So sad.
ReplyDeleteI don't remember him, but I think Lance will. So sad, and way too young. :0(
ReplyDeleteHow did he die?
My heart aches for them...
