A Hard Day...

Rita M. Cruser
March 23, 1920 - February 21, 2009
Sauk Rapids, Minnesota

Keith Harren
December 23, 1972 - February 21, 2009
St. Joseph, Minnesota

Yesterday was one of those days that you start wondering, "What's going to happen next?" Bryant's grandma passed away yesterday at the age of 89. Grandma Cruser had been sick for awhile and had good days and bad, however in the end she said she was ready to go. Bryant was able to see her last weekend and was happy to have seen her looking good and enjoying a chat with Cameron. Not only was this a huge loss, but a friend Bryant grew up and played softball with for many years, Keith took his own life this weekend. It's so hard to understand something like that...36 years old, with a wife and four young children. Bryant received the call about his friend, Keith in the morning and headed to the hospital to say his last goodbyes to his Grandma in the afternoon. It ends up that both visitations are being held at the same place and at the same time for his Grandma and friend...not necessarily the convenience you would ever hope for. Bryant is strong and he'll get through this weekend, but please keep his Grandma and friend, Keith in your prayers.
