Addiction claims another soul.

Today is a very sad day. Addiction has claimed a young mans life. His name was Brett. He was 23 years old. He was my kids best friend. He might as well have been my own son. He was in my home more than his own sometimes. He always called my daughter his baby sis. My sons, his brothers.

He had a baby six weeks ago. He was shot this morning a 3am.

He kept trying to quit even tried to check into a rehab but was turned away.

He had a heart of gold.

His mom is having a breakdown tonight. She needs your prayers, the whole family does.

He died without the people that loved him there. I hope he knows how much he is loved and missed.

He was shot trying to steal some gas from a shed. Please lord forgive him for that.

I am so very sorry, for him, for his family, for you Frankly and your kids, and for all who loved him.

We know it can happen, we know it does happen, but we never get used to it...never.

Keeping you all in my prayers, especially this boy's mama.

Hugs

may he rest in peace. My condolences go out to both of your families. Loosing a good friend can be just as heart breaking as loosing a close family member.

I'm so sorry Frankly. My prayers go out to his mom and family and all who loved him and will miss him. I'm sure this is so sad and difficult for you and your kids; my heart hurts for you. I know he is at peace and forgiven and that he knows how much he was loved.

My thoughts and prayers to all who love Brett.
May he find peace.

Dying for gas.
G*D forgive the person who shot him for some gas....

No, we never do get used to it,
No matter how often it happens.
That fear hits home,
Each and every time.

Shalom!

Dearest frankly, I'm so sad to hear this very heartbreaking news. I do have "sons" too, that are my son's best friends that I've helped raise, so I can imagine how horrible this is for you. I'm so sorry for yours' and your family's great loss. And I so agree with Teach saying "Dying for gas. G*D forgive the person who shot him for some gas.... " I know that this could have been any of our sick-minded children. This is horrifying, to say the least. I'm just today, seeing this and for that I'm sorry too.
