Keep Full Metal Jacket [Ken Bartling] in your prayers

Many of you know Ken Bartling from here as Full Metal Jacket. Please keep him and his family in your prayers as his son passed away last night in a accident. Ken has always emailed many of us on his life with Chris as he grew up and hunted, went through boy scouts and entered the military. We feel as if we knew his son personally thanks to the proud dad Ken has always been. Rick B

Rick,

We will be glad to add FMJ, to our prayers.
I am on the phone with me Son, as I type this.
And he will add FMJ and his family, to their prayer chains too.

Hey Rick,

Do you mind if I cross post this, in the prayer section?

I am stunned! Just this evening I sent Ken an email thinking his life was "normal." Definitely not so. Wish I could retrieve that email.

Regardless...I am gonna say my prayers for Ken and his family for the loss of his son, chris. My condolences definitely go to them in this very sad day in their lives.

Joe

A parent should never have to bury their child. FMJ and his family are in my prayers.

How unthinkable, for a parent to try to imagine.

Give Ken my deepest condolences, from Lakeland, TN, by Memphis.
Will say several prayers for them.
