“ Riveting and Gripping Discussion ” This is an account from an intense, and mournful 48 hour period from eye witnesses who were gathered around the death bed of a youth just turned 16. It is the mother's agony of a "Lorenzo's Oil" movie drama times four. It is the sigh of a father agonizing with the question of the extenuation of a life or the prolonging of a death. But most beautifully, it is the house of mourning as an instrument to draw members of a church together in earnest prayer, one body, one hope. But the hope not realized, the prayers answered in God's mysterious unscrutable way, not as we will but as perfect Wisdom has seen fit.
