Sydnee Vargyas Obituary
---
Just 7 months old, Sydnee had crawled for the first time on Sunday. But she never really got to enjoy her newfound freedom.
Sydnee was huddled in the bathtub of her south Oklahoma City home with her older sister, mother and grandmother as a tornado bore down on them. The strong winds pulled Sydnee out of her mother's grasp.
When the debris stopped swirling, Laurinda Vargyas said she found Sydnee on a driveway.
"She was just laying there helpless. All I could do was sit there and hold her. She was already gone," Laurinda Vargyas told The Oklahoman newspaper. "They say she didn't suffer. So I've got to find peace with that."

So sorry for you loss. My heart aches for you and your family. The bible talks of death as being asleep. May these two beautiful girls rest in sleep until God calls them to wake up

Mrs. Vargyas. My name is Ann Gayhart I am the nurse you gave your baby daughter to after the storm. I do not know how to reach you - I want you to know that I made sure she was in a safe place and I did not leave her until I knew she would be returned to you. I will think of her and you everyday for the rest of my life. She will always be a part of me.

There is extreme grief with the lost of a child.. Jesus was moved with pity at the lost of a woman's child. Addressing the dead child, he commanded: "I say to you, Get up!" The child sat up, and Jesus gave him to his mother. This is the hope we all have. Luke 7:11-17
