1 John 5: 14 and 15: This is the confidence which we have before Him, that, if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests which we have asked from Him.

Prayer for Brody's full recovery and prayer for peace and comfort for the family during these days.

Kind thoughts to you and yours. I hope Brody will be back in the passenger seat of your Vette one day soon, if not in the driver's seat. If he comes out of this OK, maybe you'll look back on it as something that knit your family even closer together in love and care for each other, and helped you appreciate each day.

Brody loved life and he wanted to own a Corvette. Sometimes things don't work out.
John, I am so sorry to have to hear this last report. Why do such terrible things happen to good people, I sure don't have the answer. I do believe God gives us the strength to get through it though. You and your family will continue to be in our prayers as you go through this most difficult time.

When my sister died of cancer at the age of 5, my father said that he was just glad that he had had those five years with her, that his life would have been so much less rich without having known her. I hope you feel the same way about your time with Brody. And on that same note, allow me to share one of my favorite quotations.

"Don't cry because it's over; smile because it happened."

I thank you all for your kind words and support and prayers.


God Bless you all and RIP Brody


For those who believe in the power of prayer, I request your prayers.
For those who do not, I request your kind thoughts.


I have an 18 year old grandson who, several days ago, was diagnosed with a Deep Vein Thrombosis. He was being treated with a clot buster.
This morning he was sent to the Emergency Room and was diagnosed with brain bleed. He is undergoing emergency brain surgery and the prognosis at the moment is not good.


He needs all the positive energy he can get..


Prayers Work!


While Brody's condition remains grave, he is not now in immediate danger of dying from his condition.


Brody has, at 18, suffered the equivalent of a stroke. He has suffered serious brain injury. His condition will be reevaluated in 24 hours and we will know better the prognosis then.


The tremendous outpouring of love and prayer shown here and on Facebook have raised my spirits and I have no doubt played a part in his passing this hurdle.


I thank you all for your support and your love, I thank you from me and I thank you from Brody. Some day I hope he will be able to come on the forum and thank you himself.
I don't know you but my heart breaks for you and your family. I can't imagine the pain you're all going through.
I can only say he's in a much better place.

The passing of a loved one is the hardest thing to endure. Just know you will see Brody again. Prayers are with you.
