A friend of mine from here lost her husband to enemy fire in Iraq Friday. The helicopter he was flying was shot down, killing him and one other soldier. She was 38 weeks pregnant and went into labor this morning after getting the report of Jason's tragic death. I spoke with her mother earlier today and she said that Genni is doing as well as expected. She said the only peace that she has is knowing that Jason died doing what he loved doing.
Please take a moment and whisper a prayer or send some thoughts her way. She is only 26 years old and such a sweet girl.
