No Fairy Tale Ending



The Indy Met run this past year to a state championship was magical. I know Richard and our family knew and still know we were a part of something much bigger than all of us. But now 6 months later, we are faced with the reality that life does not always give us a fairy tale ending. Last night Raymond Green, only 19, was gunned down and tragically lost his life way too soon. I don't know how you can put into words the loss of a son, a brother, a teammate, a young man with an infectious smile with still so much left to give. But here we are trying to wrap our brain around this tragedy. So we ask you alll for your prayers for Raymond's family and friends. Our family's faith tells us that Raymond is in a better peaceful place now; he will be long remembered for so much more than basketball. (in the picture above Raymond is holding the basketball)
