I've been thinking a lot the last few days
There's a song that keeps coming to my mind: "If Tomorrow Never Comes" by Garth Brooks. I can't help but think what if this is the last day I get to see Ray? I may be wrong, but I think Ray's thoughts have been running the same way. I know I've been trying a little harder and I think he has, too. Patrick, Ray, and I are all the same age. Right now I'm very grateful my girls aren't old enough to understand the concepts of death and age. It's hard enough for me to be scared and worried, I'm glad they don't have to feel that yet. My thoughts are so jumbled it's hard to put them down. I've typed and deleted a lot of different things. I don't know how to put into words what I'm feeling. I want to know why, but I probably never will. So I have to rely on my testimony. I know Heavenly Father loves Beth, that He knows what is best for her, and that He will help her make it through this trial and be a stronger person in the end.

Amen to everything you've said. Beth and James have been on my mind all week. Even my 2 year old is praying for "Beth and James", even though he doesn't know who they are. There must be some amazing blessings in store for them; in the meantime I pray for Beth to have the strength she needs to deal with this.
I think those thoughts have been on all of our minds lately. It was a beautiful funeral. I was so glad I was able to make it. And Beth is such a great example to me. She handles trials the way I wish I could. I love their family very much.
I didn't know Patrick was our age until Amanda told me, and somehow that made it all the worse for me. You are all in our prayers. Love you.
I am realizing that this life is really so short as I get older. Each day is such a gift to be with our families here on earth.
I'm grateful for my testimony of the savior and the plan for us.
I'm sorry for your sister and your family at this time.
