We have received the sad news that the father of a child from China was one of the victims of the terrorist attack. Gracie Mladenik lost her father to terrorism. His name was Jeff Mladenik, 43, of Hinsdale, Ill. and he was the interim president at E-Logic He was aboard American Airlines Flt. 11 that was crashed into the World Trade Tower. Please pray for Gracie, her mom Sue, her sister Kelly and brothers Josh and Dan.
From the Washington Post: "Those who died reflected the diverse textures of American life. Jeff Mladenik, on American Airlines Flight 11, was ordained two years ago as a minister by the Conservative Congregational Christian Conference. Traveling for his company, E-Logic, he was "a Christian who walked his faith every day and in every way," a friend said yesterday."
