The consolation friends and loved ones have to offer can be very helpful, but ultimately, it’s our faith in God and our personal relationship with Him that pulls us through these horrific tragedies. May God be with you, Kacee, whenever you call out to Him. May He continue to provide you with the strength that you need to endure your suffering. And may He guide you in all that you have left to do in this world. Take care of yourself. We love you.
