Jake Kingston's funeral arrangements

My heart aches as I'm sitting here writing this in pure disbelief. My brother dead? No it can't be. I can't picture not being able to see him again, all I want to do is call him. Tell him how much I love him, tell him I'm sorry he never got the help he needed, how sorry I was for being a bratty sister growing up, how proud I was of him for searching for God, how much I admired his huge heart. But I can't, and that hurts. REALLY hurts. This life is like a vapor, one second here and the next gone. I can see that now, this makes me want to squeeze my kids tighter. When I ponder on that it makes me sad, to think it takes things like this to make us stop and smell the roses...BUT maybe it's all apart of God's plan, I mean it has to be right? We can't question the way God designs things, we can't question why Jake was gone so soon, we can't question could I have done something differently to prevent this? We just have to TRUST...But Is it really that easy? Yes, it is really that easy. Putting all the heartache, all the pain, all the regret in God's hands is so overwhelmingly worth it. The Bible tells us that He makes beauty from ashes. Isaiah 61:3 "To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he might be glorified." That means if we choose to give it to him, He WILL in return replace it with something beautiful. How amazing is that? So today I am making a choice, for you Jakie. I choose to let my loss be the very thing that motivates me to be a better person, a better mother, a better Christian. Although I'm hurting, I can hold on to the fact that Joy will come in the morning, and one day we will see each other again. I Love you forever.

Jake died on a trip he took to Hawaii two weeks ago. He went missing and after some investigation (since no one had heard from him) we discovered he was in fact dead. A total shock to us all. Being he was only 25 years old, with his whole life ahead of him. We are now in the works of trying to get him flown to my mother in Washington so she can have a proper funeral for him. Any help will be greatly appreciated, And a huge thank you to all friends and family who have reached out to show your support during this very rough time.  He was loved and will be missed by many.
