It is hard to understand the reason for taking such a handsome young man from this world but it is our faith that we hold onto at times like this. That doesn't make it easier for people left behind but the love and support of friends and family help to soothe the loss and time is the greatest healer. Love and Prayers, Stan and Rosie Hornbaker
