I know how you feel. My cousin died at age 19, and he was one of the finest young Christians you've ever seen. Everyone, both young and old, adored him. I won't go into the details, but it was very, very hard, and I was only 15 when he died.
My heart goes out to you, but I rejoice that the young man knew the Lord. I keep remembering something my other cousin said in a funeral service he delivered (he's a minister)... we as Christians weep, but we weep not as those who have no hope because our hope is in Christ Jesus. That's truly blessed assurance.
Kathy Taylor Haugen and I grew up together in Louisa, Ky. Our families were very close..vacationing together several times a year...living a couple of houses apart..our entire childhood. Our lives have always been very entwined. I'm sure that Taylor had Kathy's sweet spirit. Please give her a hug and tell her that the entire Damron family sends her our love and prayers. That family is so close..I just pray that she can find some comfort in this.
