In memory

Last night we received a heart breaking phone call. David's best friend since pre-school, Alfred, was in the ICU with septic shock. We are very, very close to this family and they suffered much loss in Katrina; currently his mom is recovering from double bypass and his sisters are overwhelmed with grief.
The prognosis was very poor last night and we were on the phone all night with his family, but sadly he passed away this morning.

This unexpected crisis took his life in less than 12 hours.
Please be in prayer for his mother and father, his two sisters, and most of all his wife and two-year-old daughter.
We already miss you, Alfred.
