My Family and I will keep your friend in our prayers also. When I lost my brother, he was very young. I always questioned, Why? As someone stated, God had bigger plans for him, His time on earth was complete, He was only 17.
While I was out of town for Christmas, A friend from my church passed away due to cancer, He was only 48.. My wife and I went to the funeral home last night and it was tough for me. From hearing his testimonies in church, he and his wife were wild a few years back. It was just a few months back when he and his wife were baptized.. I am just glad he was saved and now is better off in Heaven with our loved ones that we have lost. God Bless and Stay Strong.
