I thought my next post would be a whole bunch of fun photos and videos from our TX trip. I do promise to post all those soon, but feel compelled to mention something else first. While we were visiting family and friends in TX, we had the opportunity to meet my good friend Natalie's fiance, Matthew. They have been engaged for just a couple weeks, and were planning to get married in October. All the while, Matt has been battling lung cancer, which he contracted while on duty in the US Air Force, because his barracks were infested with black mold. Matt fought the cancer for nearly two years, and passed away early Sunday morning.
Please pray for Natalie, as well as both their families, as this is an unthinkable loss for everyone who knew and loved Matt. He was such a remarkable person, a true hero. And if anyone wants to offer a specific prayer/word of encouragement to Natalie, please let me know and I'll get her the message. We are the body of Christ - let's hold one another up in times of trouble.
Peace-
Monique
such a beautiful couple - probably their last photo together, hours before Matt's health started deteriorating, and days before he passed away.

I'm so very sorry to hear about this terribly difficult loss for your friend Natalie. At a time like this, words just don't help much I'm sure, but please do let her know that I have and will be praying for both families in this hard time. It's all I can do not to cry as I type this because I can't even fathom what that must feel like to loose someone that you love so much. I don't know Natalie, but please give her a hug for me and my deepest sympathy.
So sorry to hear this Monique. I'm glad that you got to meet him on your trip. Words couldn't describe the pain I imagine. (Hugs)
Oh what a sad story. I can't even imagine. I pray for peace and comfort. God bless!
Heartbreaking. Praying for all who will be missing him.
