More Prayers Needed - Missing Person...

[janetupnorth]

I just had a coworker walk in my office...her fiance's twin went missing this weekend on the Wisconsin River around Mosinee. :cry: She is choked up!

She was asking if I knew of any area cadaver dogs since they are trying to find the body for closure. They had a volunteer but she couldn't come today.

Here is one version of the story:

Jim (the twin) and Eugene (the younger brother) are taking it hard along with the parents of Lenard.

Actually, I did a show tonight that this lady was supposed to be a guest at until this happened. My host, a coworker thinks that people just tend to confide things like this to me because they know I care, will sympathize, whatever. Plus, I do so much I tend to run in various circles...

Example was as a guest was checking out my host said something about me being on the Fire Dept. Guest says, "Oh my husband is a paramedic at the hospital, do you know him?" I looked at the last name and said, "Carl". She said, "yes". I said I was on a serious call with him 5 years ago on the ambulance crew - 14 yr old boy with a gunshot wound. She says, "Oh my, you're the little one that climbed up in the tree stand to care for him and get him down. Carl talks about that story often, of 23 years in EMS, it is his MOST memorable call." (The boy survived and is a software in college now - doing great). That is how my world seems to work, it gets smaller daily!

Plus with camp, we meet people from all over so we tend to know someone who knows someone who is in the situation.

Some days I wish I didn't run into this man "sad" situations but there must be some reason.

Update tonight...they believe they found Lee's body today in the Wisconsin River. This is actually good news. The family knew he had died but needed to find the body for closure for his twin brother Jim and his parents. As of yesterday when I talked to a family member, the whole family was tired, drained and just needed it to be over.I guess the body isn't officially identified, but will be soon and they are pretty positive it was him.It is a bittersweet night...sad situation but glad it will be over for them.

Wow, very sad...I'm glad they will get some closure.

The family and friends will remain in my prayers.

Still very heartbreaking situation, I pray God keeps them close to him during this time.
