Jessica: Words cannot express my deepest sympathy on all of this! It has taken me awhile to put this together, but one of the families you met with, thought the names were similar. Your three children's photos looked like they loved life and lived life to the fullest. Please know that I am thinking about you and know that God is good all of the time!
