Sadness

I am saddened today with the report of close family friends whose son was killed in Iraq this week. Molly and Ronnie went through grades K - 12 together and Emily was a good friend of his older sister Samantha. I admire his mom Susan for leaving an abusive marriage, returning to College and getting her Degree in Spanish. She has taught now for 8 years. Through this all, she raised 3 great kids. Then she met that one man that thought of her first and loves her dearly. We all rejoiced at their wedding....Scott and Brian joined the Tucker's and life was blessed. After Emily and Sam graduated we would run into each other at school events but were not as close as those other years. Daisy, the middle daughter, was a year ahead of Molly and Ronnie.

Ronnie??? What a character... Molly and he took different paths, he became such a striking young man. FUNNY!! beyond measure....such a HAM and JOKE-STER!!! Such an infections laugh and you knew he had had probably planned and executed the joke, but there was NO way that you could pin it on him.....Now gone...way too early at 21.

God you will Bless, Protect and Keep this family.....You are covered in my prayers.
