Prayers Please...

Hi everyone. Last night my family and I suffered a terrible tradgedy. My Dad, Jim, passed away at the age of 50. He was a loving father, son, husband, and friend. He was a lifetime trucker, and while I was used to him being gone alot, there is no comfort to be found in this. He was in perfect health, his only ailment being he was a borderline diabetic. He suffered a massive heart attack and passed instantly depite efforts by my Mom and I performing CPR. He was my best friend, and my life will never be the same. I feel the worst for my brother, since Dad didn't get to see him get his drivers license or graduate high school, both of which he was there for me. All I ask isfor your deepest prayers for me and my family and friends as we work through this terrible tragedy.


Left to right: Me, My Grandpap Tom (Dad's Dad), Dad, and my brother Cody

OMG Casey. I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. What a shock for you and your family. You bet I'll say prayers.... I just wish I could say, or do something that would take away your pain, but I know that only time and patience will help with that. I could imagine that your Dad wouldn't want you to beat yourself up over it, but instead, celebrate his life. Hang in there my friend.

My prayers man, we just found out we lost my nephew to cancer, the lord has his ways, and his reasons, and sometimes the worst thing in life is coming to the conclusion that we are only born to die.
