My daughter, Tara, means everything to me and I don’t even want to think about what life would be like without her in it. So I can't imagine what Craig Morgan is going through and I hope I don't have too.

Craig lost his son, Jerry Greer, in a tragic tubing accident earlier this month and now Craig is thanking everyone for their support, love and prayers as he and his family deal with the horrible loss of his son Jerry Greer.

Craig laid his son to rest last weekend and posted this on his Facebook page,

"The loss of our son Jerry is the hardest thing we have ever had to endure as a family. Karen and I are so grateful for all of the wonderful people who have shown us unwavering support during this difficult time."

He went on, "We are blessed by the outpouring of prayers and condolences from across the world. Jerry may be gone from this earth, and we will miss him every day, but his spirit will live on in our hearts. We will find peace knowing that God has a bigger plan, and that one day, we'll be reunited with him again in Heaven."

I've always liked Craig's music and when I had the chance to meet him two years ago, I was impressed by the way he handled himself. I wish I knew he was a Christ follower then because I would have love to chatted about that with him.

I admire him more now as a person and the way he's handled this tragedy.  God bless you, Craig.
