Hi everyone, this is not a very happy blog to type but I need to do this for one of our friends,ShellyMarie. Shelly's 16 year old son was in a terrible car accident on Saturday 5-23 when God called him home. I have only spoke to Shelly in Yahoo because she is so busy with visitors coming and going. As we all know,Shelly is a real sweetheart and she is still in the state of shock. We need to all pray that her seizures do not start back up. She has been having some break through seizures since her surgery. Such a young life snuffed out.
