Tragedy

On November 4th, around 3 am, tragedy struck my family. 

My youngest cousin, Garrett Cole Luce, was struck and killed on the train tracks that run through Texas A&M campus. 

Words cannot begin to explain how I feel. It is not yet known why he was on the tracks.

I don't usually do this, but I'm asking for your prayers as my family prepares to put him to rest. 

He was a wonderful, God loving man and I know he has seen our Lord's face. He was loved by many and never without a smile on his face. I however do not yet know why he had to be taken from us so young. He was only 19.

I pray for God to grant my family peace and to wrap us in his arms as we try to cope with this terrible tragedy.  For I know, that it is only by trusting in Him that we can get through this. 

Call your parents and tell them that you love them. Call your grandparents, your sister or brother, your best friend. Because life is too short to do without doing so. 

4 Blessed are those who mourn,
    for they will be comforted.
Matthew 5:4

Xox,
Amanda
