Since it is out now, my 2nd cousin, Christian Steele passed away from a Motorcycle wreck. He just turned 21 and has a beautiful fiancé and baby. I’m just at a loss for words, but thank you all for praying for my cousin, Roy and his wife Christina. These two are some of the best people and didn’t deserve this. Again, no parent should ever have to lay their child to rest, even though the body is just a shell and he is now with his grandfather, my uncle Roy, it still doesn’t make this any easier for them. Just please pray for them again if you pray. I just can’t imagine and know they didn’t want to imagine this either.
