The GRIP 
Thank you Jesus! Thank you so much for this arrest, it’s been a long time coming but Lord, You did it again. Lord Jesus, I pray this being solved, I pray it brings a little peace to his Mom and Dad, Christy and Troy and of course, Shaun’s son. Thank you Spalding County Sheriff’s Office, witnesses and anyone else who helped in solving this case!! I know the family, friends and all loved ones are somewhat relieved!! Christy, my heart breaks for you, as a Mother myself, I’m so brokenhearted. Hold tight to Our Savior and all the great memories you cherish. I can’t imagine how difficult this must be. Even though God teaches us to forgive, it doesn’t make it easy, sometimes almost impossible, but I don’t think we’re supposed to forget are bad experiences in this life, after all we’re just passing through a stage, life really begins when we reach heaven. I’m a firm believer that God will carry you through this ordeal and during the hardest days you have and now I know you must have many. My heart, my thoughts and my prayers are with you and your family always. I will keep you in my prayers.
That’s great news finally the can hopefully rest a little easier knowing they caught the person who did this horrible crime.
