My dear sweet Kim, I did not know your son personally but grieve along side of you. I do know that as brothers and sisters in Christ we are to lift each other up in prayer. When we are weak he is strong and as James tells us the prayers of the righteous have great power so let us unite and lift your family in prayer
So sorry for ur loss
Angel, I didn’t know Adam except from Unity Basketball – Reed Locker is my grandson. Adam was always so supportive of Braden and all of his teammates. He was so excited when he videoed Reed making his first basket just a few weeks ago. Know that you and your sweet boys will be in my prayers – I pray that your memories of Adam will help you and the boys in the days to come.
I had Adam as student . He was a wonderful young man, with an integrity and honesty that was so refreshing. Prayers for Angel and his children as they go through this time of loss.
