  4. Ben & Carolyn Adams
    Cherry..we are so sorry for you. Right now there is nothing anyone can say to help you. All you can do sweetie is depend on family ,friends, and our God. It makes everything so much better to cope with having our wonderful Father to lean on. We know you have him. If anyone loves,showes his love and lives for him sweetie, you do. I know this is such a hard time for you now, but try and remember that our Father will never put more on us than we can handle. I have to tell myself this over and over some days. We will be praying for you. After a few weeks, we will be by to visit and pray with you.
