A friend I graduated high school with passed away last week after a courageous three year battle with brain cancer. To say that he was an amazing guy is an understatement and to be sure, he will be greatly missed by an entire community who will no longer get to experience his dynamic character. Please pray for his family, his parents and his older sister as they go through this rough time, and for the people who have felt his loss in the past few days. He was only 21, way too young to die, especially to such a disease as brain cancer. Please also pray for understanding in this situation, that people won't lash out at God, but instead, draw nearer to him as a close community mourns the loss of a great talent, an intellect, a beautiful soul and a wonderful person. Rest easy, Derick.

Will be praying chica! *hug*
