"Jeff and Susan, our hearts are broken for you. You are in our prayers and thoughts. I was remembering today about the cardboard boat that Jacob built and he and Megan tried to race at the Twin Lakes. They did not even get out of the gate before it sank. Thank God for the good memories. May God give you His strength and peace during this time. May you feel His love and the love of His people. Greg and Debbie"
