Oh Nicki, I am so sorry to hear this. God is amazing and miraculous, but he tends to follow his own plan - its tough. (In my belief) We are all here with our arms wrapped around you as you traverse this very difficult situation. You are very strong, and your strength will be desperately needed in the hours and days ahead. The family and the youth really appreciate all that you are doing (even if they are not in a position to tell you). This young man sounds like a wonderful, compassionate and courageous human being, and he will have many prayers in his name.
My prayers go out to the entire community, who this young man's life and light, has brightened. Keep us updated as you can Nicki...
