A very rough week

Last week was one of the most difficult weeks we have ever had. I found out that my dad has bladder cancer and he had to undergo surgery to remove a tumor, all this took place on a day that we had an ice storm. So far the prognosis is good, but we will know more in six weeks or so. We had just made it through that time whem I got a call from David that Lindsay his 25 year old daughter (my step-daughter) had been found dead in her bed on Friday morning. It appears that she developed pneumonia after having the flu, we will know more after we get results back from an autopsy.
It is so hard when a parent loses a child. Her mother is also devastated. We had just had a great visit with Lindsay the week before. We will cherish that memory as our last one with her. She was an amazing young lady. She had a fantastic testimony and she loved God with all her heart.
We do not sorrow as others who have no hope, but Lindsay will be missed because her seat will be empty.
