Losing a child is probably the hardest thing to go through, my prayers and thoughts are for Brady and his family.

I lost a friend to asthma. It can happen very fast and sudden. He went out back where his business was downtown to his car. He was standing up with the door open and an attack hit. He didn’t collapse. His employees saw him standing there and thought he was okay. But he died standing up. That fast. When they finally went out to see why he was standing there they realized what happened and called 911. Too late.
Losing children is very hard. Breaks up families. Even LDS families. Happened in our ward back in the 80’s.

I didn’t know that the family was out here in Cali. Westlake is a decent high school team that plays in a fairly competitive league. Wood Ranch (background supporter in the photo) is a popular restaurant out here as well. The school is just down the 101 freeway about 45 min away.

My grandkids want to go there for their birthdays. Good food.
