Ryan Franklin was a guy who enjoyed getting up every morning and being himself ... from his aviator sunglasses to his shoestring belts.  A faithful husband and loving dad, he was committed to his family and his Lord.  Today, Jill talks with his parents, Mark and Margaret, about their son's remarkable life, his sudden death, God's faithfulness in their journey, and "sterkte" ... God's strength. 

If you are a bereaved parent, we invite you to join our closed Facebook group ("While We're Waiting - Support for Bereaved Parents")  which you can find by clicking HERE.
