Today was a hard day. Curtis's cousin was killed in an accident last weekend. Today we attended the funeral. Derek Johns was 24. We received a phone call early on Saturday morning letting us know he had passed away. I laid in bed for 3 hours hurting for his wife. Derek and Lindsay were married last year. Derek was easy to love and he had a genuine interest in everyone. He LOVED his wife. I can't put into words how much he loved her.
Today I watched her smile for hours as people came through the viewing, most of them sobbing. She shared comfort with her mother-in-law. She gave reassuring smiles to speakers and those participating in musical numbers. She was thoughtful about everyone.
I cried for 2 hours. The family prayer was beautiful. Each speaker rose up to the challenge of speaking about their best friend, brother, grandson and son. I have never attended such a moving service.
I am blessed to have known him. I hope the love of Christ will give strength to this family. Lindsay, you are in my prayers. We love you.
