I come with a sad and solemn message tonight. My cousin Lindsey went to the hospital yesterday and then had gallbladder surgery yesterday. After the surgery, her heart stopped and was put on life support around 3 p.m. Several hours later she passed away.

She was 30 years old and leaves two young boys and a husband.

These kind of things are always tough to figure out. It was sudden. My Uncle Albert, and cousins Andrea and Erin have been through a lot now. They lost my Aunt Anna Marie (wife and mother) to cancer a few years ago.

I'm not going to profess to know why these things happen, and I can't say that there is a rhyme or reason for these things. There are some things that we can never understand. But no matter the tragedy, Uncle Albert and his family have an unwavering faith in God and I know it will carry them through this time, as well. But still, they will need comforting. Please pray diligently for Lindsey's family in the coming days and weeks.
