PRAYERS NEEDED PLEASE HELP: I find myself in a strange place with a loss for words, an incredibly sad heart, and incomprehensible surreal thoughts in my mind because NONE of this is supposed to happen. Apart from my own immediate family, there are two families, That I Love Dearly as my OWN. One is the extended family from the football field that is made of men (and families) I love and would give my life for (reaching back years to present day) and the other is my work family; the members of the South Summit Chamber of Commerce. Unfortunately, I am posting this to report death in both my football and work families in just one unbelievably dark night. TWO MEN from completely different worlds with little in common were killed last night. What they did have in common is they were both too young to die and they were both GOOD MEN with immediate family and extended family that loved them both dearly. Bryant Abercrombie (Aka Crum or XXX) is a man that would have been playing Offensive Line for me/us at the Cleveland Cobras Minor League Football Organization this season was shot and killed last night, as was off duty police officer Justin Winebrenner. Justin is the 23 year old son of retired police officer Rob Winebrenner. Most of the South Summit Chamber of Commerce knows Rob as well as his girlfriend (Crystal Cianciola) who is president-elect of the Chamber Board starting in 2015. My heart is crushed but, I know whatever I am feeling OVERWHELMINGLY PALES IN COMPARISON to what both Bryant and Justin’s immediate families are feeling at this time. I don’t know everything, but I know that we can all agree that a parent should not have to grieve the LOSS OF A CHILD…it is simply out of order and unfathomable in my mind. This will be hard to believe but I know at least 8 families CLOSE to me…not people I have heard of (OH NO…), 8 families I know and love that have lost children, young promising people, in their prime in THE LAST 12 MONTHS. PLEASE ALL OF YOU WHO CAN, PLEASE, JOIN ME IN LIFTING THE FAMILIES OF BA AND JUSTIN UP IN PRAYER. You don’t have to know them…God does. I have absolute faith that your prayers will be felt by these families through the Spirit of God carrying your love to those grieving. Thank you ALL and in the name of Jesus, Amen… (Pics of Justin with his baby Girl…and Bryant Abercrombie…You will be both be greatly missed) ONE LAST THING...Take time to GET YOUR PRIORITIES STRAIGHT...all you have on this earth that are important are God and Your Loved Ones. Take time to be with them, hug them, love them, Open your mouth and tell them YOU LOVE THEM and Cherish EVERY minute with them. And, maybe even look up and smile at a stranger. The whole world needs love and you may be the only person to smile at them today...it can make a difference. Kimberly SimpsonHighpoint Christian ChurchJohn Stahl
