Prayer Request
Permalink  

I am asking for prayers for the family of two restaurant employees in my neighborhood that were killed last night.  I have family in town who love this restaurant and always request it when they are visiting.   As a result, we  know the folks that run it, especially the gentleman that always works in the front. 

We went there last night and got food to go and spoke to the gentlemen in front while we waited for our food.  He encouraged us to come back for a new year's buffet feast they were planning.  Three hours later two employees were gunned down.  I feel just absolutely horrible. 

I live in a city that is ravaged by the affects of drugs, alcohol, gangs and the like, so crime is not uncommon, but it makes it no less devastating or tragic.  These were hardworking, kind men that were tragically taken off this earth.  Please help me with prayers for their families.

So sad,
Leetle

How shocking(((( Leetle ))))and what a waste and such a horror.

Prayers winging their way to you and the families that have been affected by this event.

Praying also for your city, that something will be turned around and that some sort of peace will come to be in that place. Praying also for your protection.

Heartbroken.

Lots of prayers your way and to the friends and families involved. It's such a senseless act of violence and an abuse of the gift of free will.
