"My deepest sympathies go out to the family and friends of Johnathan Long. I unfortunately didnt know him but am a friend of Amanda(Cox)Jones and her little brother David. Ive heard good things about Johnathan and know he will be missed by so many. I lost my sister in a one vehicle accident 3 yrs ago and know the pain it causes.I know so well the anger & confusion you may feel towards the Lord right now for taking someone so young and so loved by many. What helpd me deal with my loss once i got over being mad, was knowing that the Lord didnt do this to hurt me or anyone else, and that if i would just talk to God he would listen and give me the answers i was looking for. I figured that the Lord mustve been short on angels and that he needed my sister in heaven with him.What keeps me going day to day is knowing that I WILL see my sister again one special day waiting with open arms at the gates of Heaven!! I know it may not feel like it now but it will get a little easier as days pass.Just believe in the Lord and he can and will help you through this. with deepest sympathy, Kerri Faries
