For the second time in just a few months our family is mourning. Last September we lost Ramona and on April 27 we lost her baby brother David. Makes you wonder what God is thinking.
Just 37, married to Jaci, father to Abby, Jacob, Matthew and Marcus. CFO for his company, school board, church board, generally happy, busy devoted family guy. Hadn't been feeling well for a bit, was hospitalized that Saturday with both blood pressure and blood sugar way out of whack. Very touch and go, but by Sunday he was doing much better, getting stable, everyone breathing a sigh of relief. Dodged a bullet. Whew!!
But Monday morning he went into cardiac arrest and could not be resuscitated despite the best efforts of the team at the hospital.
To say the whole family is devastated and in shock is a complete understatement. Just doesn't seem real. Doesn't seem possible. How could God let this happen? We are all pondering that.
Meanwhile, prayers for Jaci and the kids, and for his surviving brothers and sister and for his mom. And for the rest of us as well, the cousins, nieces and nephews trying to understand the meaning of it all.
