    Ken, my heart goes out to you and your family. A few years back I lost my son to alcohol related. Its not right to leave before your children but it happens. I will say a prayer for you and I will release one in memory of your daughter, like I do for my son. May God give you comfort and strength for the journey ahead.

    Ken, Reading your post rips at my gut. I don’t know how anyone handles the loss of a child. I can’t imagine what you must be feeling. I wish you and your family the best and my thoughts and prayers are with you and your daughter.

    As a father of a daughter, reading your post absolutely took my breath away and brought tears to my eyes…..words cannot come close to saying what is pouring from my heart right now.

    God bless you and your daughter Erika, and know that you will be in our prayers.

    She is without pain or addiction today, and forever!

    Ken, it is hard to add to what so many here have said. Rest assured that our collective hearts break over this as well. Even though we did not know her, her father is a huge part of our lives here in the IDA family. My warmest well wishes to your family, and heart felt condolences are sent your way bud.

    If there is anything we can do for you let us know. If you need to get out and float around on the river, let me know.

    God Bless!

    Ken,

    What could I say that would give you some comfort at this moment? There may be no words that can help with the emptiness you, and your family, are going through now, but they can show how deeply others care. The struggles your family went through with Erika must have been the most difficult times of your lives. You want to give hope to the ones you love but sometimes there is just nothing more we can do – it is all in God’s hands.

    God be with Erika and your family,

    Ken, my heart goes out to you and your family and are so sorry for your loss. I pasted the words to a song by the gospel group Mercy Me. This song really hit home for me after losing my Dad. Nothing any of us can say can take away your pain but if there is something we can do, please please please don’t be afraid to ask. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

    You’re in a better place, I’ve heard a thousand times
    And at least a thousand times I’ve rejoiced for you
    But the reason why I’m broken, the reason why I cry
    Is how long must I wait to be with you

    I close my eyes and I see your face
    If home’s where my heart is then I’m out of place
    Lord, won’t you give me strength to make it through somehow
    I’ve never been more homesick than now

    Help me Lord cause I don’t understand your ways
    The reason why I wonder if I’ll ever know
    But, even if you showed me, the hurt would be the same
    Cause I’m still here so far away from home

    I close my eyes and I see your face
    If home’s where my heart is then I’m out of place
    Lord, won’t you give me strength to make it through somehow
    I’ve never been more homesick than now

    In Christ, there are no goodbye
    And in Christ, there is no end
    So I’ll hold onto Jesus with all that I have
    To see you again
    To see you again

    And I close my eyes and I see your face
    If home’s where my heart is then I’m out of place
    Lord, won’t you give me strength to make it through somehow
    Won’t you give me strength to make it through somehow
    Won’t you give me strength to make it through somehow

    I’ve never been more homesick than now
