You think it can't happen to you or your friends. You think that never in a million years could something like this happen.

So did I. I still can't believe it and don't understand. The phone rang at about 11 o'clock at night saturday and my mom woke me up to tell me that there was something wrong, that someone I knew had died. I jumped out of the bed and ran to answer the phone and it's Carolyn, who tells me that Dash needed to talk to me. That's when the most unbelieveable and frightening news comes. He tells me that Nathan Wallis died friday. I'm not going into the specifics or anything just that he died friday. Our phone had been messed up all day and I wasn't home, and they had been trying to get a hold of me all day to let me know. So tommorow I'm going to a funeral for a friend.

I instinctively called several people to let them know and emailed Kenny{lack of cellphone}. And then tried to get some sleep, which I failed to do. So last night, out of fear that Kenny would not check his email in time, I sat down and began to track a number down to call him . After an hour or so I managed to find one and get a hold of him. He's going to try to come down, but he's not sure he can get off work or rearrange his schedule.

So please pray for the Wallis family and Nathan's friends at this time. I don't normally do this sort of thing, but I think that they'll need it.
