Peggy... he actually died seconds after the accident.  It's not my place to
try and annalyze whether or not he turned to god... although that's what I'm
doing.  I just have to trust God in that He is merciful and just and true.
It's not easy but that's what i have to do.
Jenifer Barr.
Waiting for HIS soon return!
