My heart and prayers are with you. I don't know you but we are in God's family. I lost my son a few months ago. I thought I'd die too, but God still has plans for us. stay in God's word for there is strength in God's word, never allow satan to put doubt in your heart because he will try to torment you. Remember God is loving and good and everything He does is good. We may not see it but he knows the best thing for us. As hard as it is for us to concieve as much as we loved our children remember God loves them more. my prayers are with you at this time. A sister in Christ.

Dearest Jolynn and Eddie,



God must have needed another angel in Heaven and so he chose Kierra. I have always been very fond of all your children and will always remember them sitting in the back of the car with their father in the driver's seat. Now Kierra is with her Holy Father.



Fondly and with great sympathy,

Sally from Mobilex
