    Terrie and Family: I just read about Brian and I want to express my heartfelt sadness for your loss. This is the most unnatural thing that can happen to a parent and the most tragic. I can relate to what you are feeling because I lost my daughter, Courtney last August 12 at the same age. Who would have ever thought such tragedies would have happened to our children when we were room mates in the hospital when they were born. My prayers and thoughts are with you and all your family at this time. If you ever need to talk to someone, please feel free to contact me. I do understand your grief. With love and prayers...Phyllis McCammon Henry cell# 812-322-7738.
