Last night my son's 15 year old friend was struck and killed by lightening.
Tyler was such a good boy, an exceptional athlete, an honor student and from such a wonderful family. He was the workhorse, the leader in deeds and behavior.
Needless to say the kids are devastated. They have been together forever, it seems. We are all devastated. No one in their wildest dreams would expect God to suddenly reach down and Tyler home.
It broke my heart holding my 15 year old son as he was crying like a baby, a scene repeated over and over in many houses in this part of the county.
Please pray for Tyler and his family. They will need your prayers of comfort. I cannot even imagine the grief of his parents or his brother. There but for the Grace of God goes any parent.
Please pray for my son and all of Tyler's friends. I wish with all of my heart they did not have to go through this...I wish with all of my heart Tyler was still with them. Not only will they need prayers of comfort, but prayers for strength in the days and months to come.
I truly believe in the power of prayers. Tyler's family and all of Tyler's friends will need God's comfort in their broken heards and shattered souls.
Thank you
