This msg is to Du! I do not know this man, nor his family. I did know Jesse. Let me ask you a ? Do you think he would have posted what you did to someones family?? I DO NOT THINK SO! No matter what circumstances both families are grieving for their child, husband, brother or friend. I have been in their shoes. All I can say is God already knows when it’s our time to come home & the why. (my child was 12) my grandma also lost a son. She said dear granddaughter like the old gospel song says “Further along we’ll know why” but for now their in the arms of Jesus until we can go see them again bc you wouldn’t want to see them lay in a bed & suffer. Friend you think long & hard 🤔about choices you have made. Have they always been the right ones.? What you wrote is hurtful, disrespectful and despicable. It reflects your character. You owe this family a public apology & ask them to forgive you for what you wrote. It can’t bring Jesse back, nor change what happened to either family; however Skyler’s family didn’t deserve to be put through this. When in anger we say things, those things can never be unheard, unsaid and taken back. I hope if you have children that one day you are not sitting in this man’s place where they have done what you claim; Lord help you if karma comes back to you for these unnecessary comments. You may not need God now but if it’s your child or even some your close to and the tables were turned, how would you like some one to post what you did? Dear family of Skyler & Jesse My utmost sincere condolences to all. May God comfort & give each of you peace & a ❤️🩹of forgiveness. Each of you are in my thoughts & 🙏.God bless you to du, I hope you open your eyes & heart to see the wrong.
