Lost a friend in Iraq today

A good friend, Will Jefferson, was killed by an IED in Iraq today.  He worked with my husband up until a few months ago.  We were quite close with him and his family.  His wife is 7 months pregnant with their 2nd little girl.  We're all still pretty much in shock.  It was just a few months ago we were all playing poker together.  He was supposed to be coming home in a few weeks.  I know everyone says this when someone dies, but Will truly was a great guy:  a loving husband, caring father, and loyal friend.  Please pray for his wife Kristy as she tries to work her way through the coming days, weeks and months.
