Some of you may have heard that on Sunday, Mother's Day, a 20 year old man named David Datsky was stabbed.

I didn't know David very well, but I did meet him on a couple of occasions and he was the nicest guy. He was my best friend's sister's boyfriend, so I heard a lot about him. And when I met him, it was all true.

On Sunday I got a shocking call from my friend telling me what had happened.... It seemed so unreal.... and even to this day.... I've been so affected by David's passing.... more than I thought.... I've cried a lot over the loss of a precious, promising life. I had the privilege of crying, talking, and praying with my friend on that day and the days since. Please lift the Kim and Datsky families up in prayer whenever you think of them. The incredible heartache and shock they are experiencing is unimaginable. I can't imagine what I would do in their situation. David's death was so sudden.... It's so hard to bear it.... But please, please pray.

Thank you and please keep the Kim and Datsky families in your prayers.

~R.I.P. David L. Datsky~
