How very sad...

One of the youth in my congregation was at the beach yesterday. An 11 year old boy was drowning, and he went out to save him. I dont know the details, but the 16 year old from my congregation apparently was swept out to sea. Im so heart borken right now. He was a good kid- one of those who you wish your own son would turn out to be like. Members from the congregation are going to go search for his body again this AM. I cant even comprehend what his mother and his brothers are going through. I wish I could have gone out to help, but Im sick and my kids wouldnt have helped the situation.

I'm so sorry, Lady. I offer our condolences to you and to his family, as little as that is. I will certainly have our ladies group pray for the family.

I am sorry Lady, condolences. It is very true that we all die, but not all of us truly live. It seems this boy did truly live.
