I could really use some prayers today. At 613 AM this morning, I lost my brother Curtis. I can't stop crying. He's been through so much. He had a brain tumor that was removed in 2010 came back, removed in 2022, came back and they removed it again in September. I got a call this morning at 1244 and they said he had vomited and aspirated into his lungs. Rushed to Jacksonville and arrived at 6 and by 613 he was gone. I'm beyond devastated. He was my first best friend. And miss him terribly. He was a drummer for several metal bands in the 80s and 90s. The metal community is mourning along with our family. Thank you for the prayers, we definitely need them.

Ultra, words can be hard to find when you're drowning in grief, and the pain and sorrow of loss. Prayer lifts the burden of sorrow and allows us an opportunity to draw upon God's strength and comfort. I am so sorry for the loss of your beloved brother, Curtis.

Heavenly Father, as our dear friend navigates the depths of grief, we ask for your healing touch. Mend the brokenness that is felt in so many hearts; Curtis is loved and he will be missed. Comfort his family and his friends. In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
