I know Janice from high school and I heard her daughter was sick.

The Bible tells us that our minds cannot comprehend the things that God has prepared for us. Your daughter is so happy right now. Living. Laughing. Playing. No tears. No pain.
The best thing is that, through Jesus, you'll get to see her again. And, for all eternity!!! That's why Jesus is called our "blessed hope."

You have people praying for you. May God comfort all of you.

Kevin & Janice,
My thoughts and prayers are with you. I was devastated when I got the news. So sorry that we've not been in touch for so long. You have always held a special place in my heart. It is so hard to let go of one we love when God choses to call them home. Take comfort in the fact that she is now in His loving hands. Call me sometime: 304-472-8164 or 304-613-9165. Love, Kathy

I was so sorry to hear about Kayla, but know she is in Heaven with God. When I think of her it makes all my problems seem so small. She was so brave and an inspiration to many. I had a son who passed away as an infant - now he will have a playmate. God love you all and know that my thoughts and prayers are with you.
