Dealing with a death in the family

Just got back from an unexpected week in Pierre. One of Sayra's nephews, Adam Maberry, died unexpectedly. He was only 23 years old and had a bright future ahead of him. Although I didn't have a chance to get to know Adam that well, I could tell he was a great guy. I wish I would have had more time to spend with him. And it broke my heart to see how this affected his parents, his sister, his grandmothers, Sayra, Ashlie and Michael, and the whole family. I've been blessed with great in-laws, and to see them in this much pain was difficult. They're an extremely close family, and certainly didn't deserve to lose Adam so soon.

It was a hard funeral to be at that is for sure. I just hope that this one event maybe helps in the fact that maybe it will save another family from having to go through something similar. NO one should have to go through anything like this!

This is Jen's sister in law by the way...
