Karrina Vargyas Obituary
---
Karrina was not quite old enough to be at school like her two older siblings. So she was at home huddled in a bathtub with her mother, younger sister and grandmother.
The tornado threw the women and children in different directions. Her parents could not find Karrina that night. It was only later that they learned that searchers had found Karrina's body in the rubble of what had been a neighbor's house.
Her father, Phillip Vargyas, said Karrina "had a smile that would light up the room." And whenever he fells the pain of her loss, her father said he likes to think of Karrina giving him a little hug.
"She was something else," Phillip Vargyas told The Oklahoman newspape r. "She wanted to figure skate. That was her dream in life."

We are wanting to make a donation to the Karrina and Sydnee Vargyas family, along with our full prayer support. Could someone contact me so I will know how to connect with the appropriate responsible party of the family and make arrangements to get the donation delivered. My name is Jerry Lynn Barby, 580-651-9836. Our organization, Guardians of the Ribbon, Oklahoma Panhandle chapter went together with the Goodwell and Guymon Police Departments, the Guymon Fire Department and the TExas County Sheriff's Department last weekend to raise funds for the families of the victims. If someone could contact me today (Thursday) our plans would be to deliver these donations this coming weekend.

Mis sentido pesame por la perdida de sus hijas sabemos que la muerte de alguien es lo peor que puede pasar a todos. Pero quiza les interese saber Que dios nos ama a todos por igual y a el duele ver que la gente sufra de esta forma por eso la invite a leer la informacion adjunta:En algún momento de su vida, es posible que usted se haya preguntado: “¿Por qué hay tanto sufrimiento en el mundo?”. La humanidad lleva milenios padeciendo los terribles azotes de la guerra, la pobreza, los desastres, la delincuencia, las injusticias, las enfermedades y la muerte. Y en los pasados cien años, el sufrimiento ha sido mayor que nunca. ¿Acabará alguna vez todo esto?
La alentadora respuesta es que sí, y muy pronto. La Palabra de Dios, la Biblia, promete: “El inicuo [o malvado] ya no será [...]. Pero los mansos mismos poseerán la tierra, y verdaderamente hallarán su deleite exquisito en la abundancia de paz”. ¿Por cuánto tiempo? La propia Biblia responde: “Los justos mismos poseerán la tierra, y residirán para siempre sobre ella” (Salmo 37:10, 11, 29).
Cuando Dios elimine la maldad y el sufrimiento, la Tierra se transformará en un paraíso donde la gente podrá vivir feliz para siempre y con salud perfecta. La Biblia predice que Dios “limpiará toda lágrima de sus ojos, y la muerte no será más, ni existirá ya más lamento ni clamor ni dolor” (Revelación [Apocalipsis] 21:4).
En ese nuevo mundo, incluso se devolverá la vida a muchísimas personas que han muerto para que también disfruten de esas bendiciones. La Biblia promete: “Va a haber resurrección así de justos como de injustos” (Hechos 24:15). Por esta razón, Jesucristo pudo dirigir estas palabras a un malhechor arrepentido que tuvo fe en él: “Estarás conmigo en el Paraíso” (Lucas 23:43).
