I don't know why, but I know it will be ok

A good friend of my family died in a car accident this morning. This vibrant young man was loved and adored by all who met him. No one could help but love him! One of his most dominant traits was his love and real concern for everyone. It didn't matter if you had known him for years or you had just met him - you soon found yourself pouring your heart out to him. Oh...but he was so young! He is so wonderful. It's so sad and tragic. I pray that understanding and peace will come soon to all, but I know, at least for me, that it is still too raw. Even knowing that he is in a good and wonderful place, it makes me a little afraid. What if this were to happen to me? Am I ready? Is my life in order? Am I living my life how I should be?
My thoughts and prayers go out to his wonderful family. I'll see you on the other side, Tim. Save me a place in the choir.

Heidi I just found about about Tim as well this morning and have been crying ever since!
He was a good man with a full life ahead of him. Maybe he was just too good? He will be a great missionary to those on the other side.
There will be a fund set up tomorrow to help with funeral costs. If you or anyone else is interested in helping or would like more details, please email me at stacyanderik@gmail.com Thank you
