Brian Bayless

March 6, 2007

Theresa and Family,

There are no words this side of heaven that can describe the loss that you have experienced or the pain you are feeling. We seek understanding, but cannot always see God's plan at work in times such as these.

Despair and grief lead to cries of "why" which echo faintly from the depths of our souls. But He is faithful. Time and prayer will heal your hearts and comfort your souls.

Until then, those who remain here with you will become the shoulders to cry upon, the hands that reach down to lift you up and the knees bent in prayer. But true comfort comes in knowing that just as life bursts forth in the Spring after a long winter's nap, everything that Sierra was on earth is now perfected in the heavenly realms.

Psalm 30:5 reads

"Weeping may remain for a night, but rejoicing comes in the morning."

For those who have placed their trust in Jesus Christ, our citizenship is not on earth, but in heaven. And at this moment, I am confident that Sierra is experiencing the fulfillment of her journey. One can only imagine her sitting in His presence, a life perfected by Him, rejoicing with the Saints above and waiting to again be reunited with those she left behind.

May the Lord of Hosts send an overwhelming spirit of comfort to you and your family in this time of need.

May the incense of our prayers fill the heavenly realms on your behalf.

And may our Father in Heaven give you a peace which surpasses all understanding.

Because of Him,

Brian Bayless and Family

To The Fauver Family,

Sierra was an amazing person. She was very smart and had alot going for herself. It was unbelievably tough to get through the day knowing that she was no longer with us. But only god knows the type of pain your family is going through. As most of us are grieving, we find ourselves asking why? And nobody can seem to give us the answer. All we know is that she is in a better place. Within the year and a half I knew Sierra she was one of the most outgoing, and down-to-earth individuals I ever met. I'd never expect that a person like her, so young and kind-hearted could ever leave us so early and in grief.

Amber Johe JAHS class of '08; Tolles student

Fauver family, im sorry to hear about what happened to Sierra. You are in my thoughts and prayers. I did not know Sierra as a friend but I knew her as my mother used to babysit all 3 of your kids. God Bless All of You and Sierra!

I do not know if you remember me from school, and we are somehow cousins. I read about your daughter and wanted to let you know that I am praying for you all. No words can comfort or heal you at this time. I am asking that God wrap his loving arms around you and give you the peace as you grieve. Time and God will heal all pain. Hold on to her memory and remember to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.
