Will

Last picture of all the boys together.  Our lives came completely to a halt at the new of Will having a tragic accident racing Enduro in Crested Butte.  #139.  It is still unbelievable and our days are tinged by sadness and a sense of unreality.  Struggling to understand God's ways right now, yet still clinging to Him.  Where else would we go?

Here are some favorite pictures of him:

With Elias this past winter

Reading with the kids, Will was an awesome uncle to these guys
