Tragic Tuesday in our world

Get a call around 4:30 Tuesday that 2 of my wife's cousins were killed when their house exploded after a backhoe ruptured a natural gas line.

Dealt with that until a call came around 9:45 that the stepdaughter of my brother was murdered along with a male friend.

WTF?!!!!!

I can't explain it, but I am going to pray for your family. Be there for the living, and let us know if we can do anything to help.

Hang in there.

I'm so sorry. That is a terrible weight of tragedy to hit your family all at once. Be as strong as you need to; don't be stronger than you have to.

Sorry to hear this Wayne.

Another reminder of how fragile life is and that tomorrow is not promised to anyone.

Hug those you love (especially those with fur and 4 legs) and make the most out of your days....

Thanks everyone. My brother lives 90 miles away so the best I can do is be available to talk. My siblings that live there are being the support on site, so to speak.


He and his wife were on a Detroit news station(that is the closest major media city) pleading for anyone to come forward with tips. It was surreal to see someone I know being "that person" in a news story.


My wife's family were on the local news here about the house explosion. I didn't know the cousins very well but the family is tight and they were well known in the small community they lived just north of us. Again, it was strange seeing people I know on the news in such distressed states of mind.
