“Moments like this remind us how quickly things can change and how unimportant material things become in the face of life itself.
We’re not sharing this for sympathy but to remind someone that things can be replaced. Lives cannot.

“If you’re navigating a sudden loss of any kind, we hope this reminds you: we can rebuild. We can begin again and find the strength to keep going.
“One breath, one prayer, one step at a time.
We give thanks in all things. 💛 THANK YOU JESUS!!!
“Thank you to everyone that stopped to help.”
