Tonight we returned from Logan, UT where Brett and I were at a funeral for our friend, Jolleen Iverson. It's been heartbreaking to watch Brandon and his children say goodbye to her. I've cried every tear in my soul today. Jolleen's death really has had a strong effect on me. Maybe it's because she was so young or because she was a mother of young children. I don't know, but I just can't stop thinking about Brandon raising those two precious little girls all by himself. I'm sure I don't have the answers for so many of the questions that keep running thru my head, but I do know that when tragedy strikes us from behind we have more strength within ourselves that we ever would believe. Jolleen's funeral was beautiful and so much of what was said really touched my heart and has given me much to ponder upon. As I go to bed tonight, I offer all my prayers and thoughts in behalf of Brandon,his girls, and so many of the people who's lives were touched by Jolleen.
