In Loving Memory

My cousin passed away this week.  He was only 29.  He was born with some pretty serious heart issues.  And 6 1/2 years ago, he had a heart transplant.  But this week, he had a heart attack...and died.  He was too young to go.

Lord, please bless Adrien and everyone grieving his loss.  Amen.
