Tragedy

My first though is, "OMG, how can this happen to someone I know?" Well, I guess every tragedy happens to those someone knows personally.

Sometime between the close of business on Sunday evening and the opening of business on Monday, late afternoon, Patti's brother-in-law Andy was shot and killed during a suspected robbery. He was found when his waitress went to work, and found all the doors locked and could not get in. She then came to town and got our son David, who has a key, and Patti's husband and brother to Andy, and they went down to see what was wrong. They found him and called the police. I heard they have a suspect, but no details yet.

Randy is holding up well, better than Patti, but this has to be very hard for him. He is now the sole suvivor of his immediate family. He has one Aunt left, and 2 cousins, one nephew somewhere, and a half brother who spends most of his time in alcoholic recovery or jail. That is sad.

Andy was well liked, and David considered him one of his best friends. When Andy had a motorcycle accident recently, David kept the business going for him until he could get back on his feet. That's why he still had a key, Andy said he might need it sometime. You hear of things like this on the news, but never expect it to happen to someone you know.

The family needs prayer.
