I've been debating on whether or not I would post about something that has happened. And I've decided to go ahead and tell everyone something that our little church family has been dealing with.
News Coverage
Brad was a member of our Ward who worked with the Scouts along with his wife. His wife is a sweet, sweet girl. They have a little 18 month old boy and another one on the way. Her pregnancy has been difficult and risky. Brad was an amazing father and a caring husband!!
This has affected so many of us. Whether you knew the Gerrard's or not, when something like this happens it really hits your heart. It makes you re-evaluate everything in your life and tell everyone you love just how important they are.
I am trying to get together groceries items for their little family, and there is also an account opened for them at Desert Schools Credit Union (in Arizona). This news has even been shown in Utah. I think there is an account open in a Utah bank as well although I'm not sure where it is. If you'd like to make a donation, the account is under the names Susie and Brad Jay Gerrard. If you have any questions, feel free to email me. And please, if you know anything about the incident, contact the authorities. Everyone would really like some closure and justice in this case.

What a terrible story. I did see it on the news. You are TRULY a wonderful friend to offer your morning to watch children so others could attend the funeral. Your ward is blessed to have you in their service. Please pass on condolences to your friend during this overly trying time! I'm so sorry!
I heard about the car jacking, shooting, & torched car at school today... My heart goes out the the family.
So sad. I can't believe how terrible the world is getting. Our prayers with with their family.
You are such a sweet friend.
