New heartache for another family.
A lot of our old wounds have been pried open this past week. A 20 year old Northwestern student from Colorado went missing last week. His parents came in for Parents Weekend and could not locate him. He was reported missing November 9th.
With details too eerily similiar to Laurie's story, jacket, cell phone, keys found on the rocks on the shore of Lake Michigan, yesterday the body recovered by the Chicago Police Department. Our family began praying when we first heard of the missing student. As news trickled in, we followed more closely. And now it appears another family will begin this horribly familiar journey.
This was compounded with the drowning deaths of three young men at a camp not far from here in Algonquin IL. Three young bright guys who were on a leadership retreat who decided to go for a late night ride on the camp's paddleboats. More loss...
Just last weekend we got to getaway for just two and a half short days to FL to get some time away with our friends from MI who lost their daughter and her fiancee in an accident two years ago. Our time there was fun but always in the back of each of our brains is the loss of a child, our child, our much beloved child.
Gosh, I wish this was not real...

Dear Barb
When I first heard of this young man missing, I immediately thought of precious Laurie. When I heard about the police finding his coat, cell phone, etc. I immediately thought of beautiful Laurie. When I heard that he had been found. I immediately thought of beloved Laurie and her family. I continue to pray daily for you and your family.
any update on lee cutler?
Though it has been over a year, Lee Cutler has not been found. Our local paper ran an article last month saying his mom is still hopeful.
