Megan (Dean, Hannah, and Zach), Death, is a hard transition to accept. One of my favorite scriptures are Proverbs 3:5, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not to our own understanding". Life and death can be difficult to comprehend; but through it all, God will give us strength, peace and direction. We are praying for you all during this time.
