Rest In Peace, sweet Jonny

Eternal rest grant unto him O Lord and may eternal light shine upon him, may his soul and the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, Rest In Peace. Amen.

We had a tragedy in our Catholic homeschool community last week. Rainbow Baby's 5 year old friend died suddenly of sepsis. I've been friends with his Mom for about ten years, this is unexpected and heartbreaking, there are no words, none. This lovely family has five more children (15, 12, 9, 7 and 1) Seeing there sad faces today at the funeral was gut wrenching.

From the time Rainbow Baby and Jonny were very little, their siblings called them sweethearts. As loving, outgoing and joyful as Jonny was, I suspect he had more than one "girlfriend."
 
We have been told that he died from sepsis. Sepsis is scary and looks like so many other benign medical conditions.

Saint Jonathan Michael, pray for us!
