Hello.. my name is Chas and although I don’t know you personally I wanted to express my condolences for your loss. I too have experienced the loss of loved ones and it is very difficult. Something that has always helped and encouraged me is a scripture from the Bible. At acts 24:15 it speaks of a time where there will be a resurrection of those we have lost. What a beautiful thought to look forward to.. seeing those loved ones again. I hope this brings you comfort in the difficult time. Thoughts and prayers for you and your families.

A death in the family is never easy especially when it is to someone that still had so much life ahead of him. My Uncle Kevin Metzger was a kind & adventurous man. He loved the outdoors thus moving to Iowa to ride dirt bikes, garden & hunt. He lived life to the fullest. He was the youngest of four kids by Eileen Metzger. My mom, Kelley Rocco, baby brother. Him & I were only 17 years apart & very close. I loved him. Our family is devastated by this great loss. Sending prayers & love to all my family for peace. I love each & every one of you. My heart is with you all, my beautiful Aunt Julie Gieske Metzger & cousins Lynnsey M Metzger, Kevin Metzger ( Jessica Storey ) & Hope Brown. Much love. 🙏💜💙 #cancerawareness #cancersuck #prayersforhealing #hugyourlovedones
