Brian Warren Shimanek

Praying for you today, Joy. Hope you can rest in the peace that passes all understanding.

We all have to remember that Earth is only a temporary situation...our life truely begins when we meet with the Lord above, in Heaven. When we loose a loved one we must remember this, because knowing this will make mourning the loss of a loved one easier to understand as the days turn into months, and the months turn into years. Its not a "good-bye", but more of a "see you later". Heaven might be out of sight, but it is not out of mind...John 3:16 teaches us that "God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, Jesus Christ to whoever believeth in him shall not perish, but have everlasting life"...the bible will not let us down, and the Lord promises that we will all be together again in his home...forever.

I never had the privlage of meeting Brian Warren, but his mother is my best friend who might as well have been a sister to me. It is a terrible thing to loose a child, but it's her strong faith in God, a strong family support, and loving friends that helped her get through this. She is the strongest, most giving person I know, and for that I am truely honored to have her as a friend...I love you guys so much, don't ever forget that
