little Joe

Ivy, one of my dearest college friends, texted our mutual friend Julie this weekend with very sad news.  Her little brother who was newly married, full of life, intelligent, handsome, athletic, and who I helped Ivy pick out a chemistry set for a Christmas gift 20 years ago lost his life.

I have no details, but I do know that there is a big group of people who are struggling with wrapping their minds around their loss.  I pray they are able to find comfort in this trying time.
