Children of the Hermosillo, Sonora Fire Obituary

Arizona Daily Star
Monday, June 8, 2009
Edition: FINAL, Section: NEWS, Page A1

A day-care center fire Friday killed 42 babies, toddlers and other young children in the Sonoran capital of Hermosillo.
The fire started at an adjoining tire and vehicle warehouse leased by the state government. It spread to the roof of the ABC Day Care, sending flames raining down on the children, an Hermosillo fire official said.
When the fire broke out, an estimated 142 children, ranging in age from 6 months to 5 years, were in the day-care center along with six staffers.
Authorities have said most victims died from smoke inhalation.
Dozens of children remain hospitalized in Mexico and the United States, some in critical condition.

Words cannot express how sorry I am to hear of such a tragic event. It saddens me deeply for every relative, friends and aquintances of the children who have passed. Although this happend far away, I am touched by having known someone in Hermosillo who lost her granddaughter. Although it is a mystery in how God plans our lives, I trust in him that all the angels he selected were for a purpose. We never know what the next day brings, our futures are in God's hands, and we must live each day in prayer and thanksgiving. I pray for everyone who needs consolation and to all who helped from near and far. The holy innocents are in a better place. We continue to live, but others will live in pain for such a long time, God bless them, may they be consoled.

Nada es mas doloroso que la muerte de un hijo y nino. Que Dios los tenga a sus nuestro hijitos en su Gloria! Que Dios les de paz y consuelo a las familias que estan sufriendo por sus hijos.

June 10, 2009

I have never lost a child yet my heart grieves for every one of you who are going through those deep deep waters now. We often do not understand how something like this can happen but I would beg you to hold on to the promises of the Bible and know that every one of those precious children are even more precious to our Heavenly Father. It seems hard to believe but God deos have a plan for each of you and, as you go through this together and sometimes alone, never forget that we are all on loan to this world and that there is such a better place for all of us in Heaven. I can promise that not one of your children would choose to return here now that they have rested in the arms of God.

My heart goes out to all of the families. Please know that your children are suffering no more. Have faith that the almighty has them in his arms. Even such a tragedy that I know you can't understand why, do not question the actions of God. Stay strong and may he keep you in his arms as well.

No hay palabras que se puedan expresar para aliviar tan horrendo dolor al perder un hijo y mucho menos por la manera en que han fallecido estos pequenitos, sin embargo nuestro Padre Celestial en su poder y misericordia nos da la fuerza, la esperanza, el consuelo y el regocijo de saber que sus obras aun cuando sean tragicas y dolorosas si tenemos fe tendremos vida eterna,tendremos ese solaz que solo El y su Hijo unigenito puede darnos.El es la verdad y la vida quien cree en El se salvara y tendra vida eterna.Estos pequenos cumplieron su mision aqui en la tierra ahora estan en un lugar especial al lado de nuestro Padre Celestial y les estan esperando.Espero en el Senor que puedan hallar la paz y la tranquilidad a traves del tiempo sintiendose siempre rodeados en los brazos de su amor.Que privilegio mas grande se les ha otorgado al ser padres de estos angeles que han regresado a su hogar celestial.Que Dios les bendiga en sus necesidades y mis mas sinceras condolencias en este trago amargo de sus vidas.
