With love,

I am so sorry for your loss. We lost our 17 year old son in a car accident just 5 months ago. The pain you are feeling now we know too well. It is gut wrenching and heart breaking pain. I never thought I would smile again or be able to make plans again, part of my heart was missing. But the good news . . . God keeps his promises! We have felt his grace so strongly. It has to be God's grace as I know there is no other way we would have come this far. We may not understand the "whys" on this side of eternity. But same day, we will. Scotty is in heaven now and so safe. We always just prayed for his safety. He is safe. Run to God! He promised to comfort and he does. Accept all the love and support from friends and family. That is God. He comes up along side of you and holds you up through these wonderful people who want nothing more than to be there for you. God's people are amazing. Your daughters are beautiful and now they, too, are safe. God bless.

I am very sorry to hear that your family lost two of your family members. This is never easy, I am thankful that you have a close family. You will need each other even more now. Keep close to god he will bring you the peace that pass's all understandings. I am a friend of natasha and am blessed to know her and will do what ever I can to be there for your family.

Seeing the headline about sisters in a car accident seemed like an eerie rerun of last year on April 14 when our daughters Erin and Beth went to heaven as a result of a car accident. I pray that you will feel God's grace and love as you learn to live your life without Anna and Nelya's earthly prescence.

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,
I am so sad to hear of your loss. I also lost a sister ( 15 years old) in a car accident less than 2 years ago, so I understand how hard it is for you are this time. You are in our prayers. You WILL get through this hard time only by the strenght of God through the prayers of many fellow Christians who are keeping you in prayer.

Sometimes it is hard to understand and accept God's will, but He will get you through- if you allow Him to. If you know that they are in a much better place, than don't let yourselves live under a dark cloud. Your sisters would want you to rejoice for them. They at the place of no more tears, stress or troubles; a place we all long to be at. And if you want to see them again, do not harden your heart against God.

I don't know why the Lord chose to take your sisters and my sister Anna away at this time. But in the end we will know and understand. So let us not be selfish with our desires but allow God to heal us and to lead us through this life so that when it is over, we can sing Him praises forever!

I remember your wife selling flowers near the grocery store in Crete. She sometimes had a youngster with her. She seemed to represent a family that is very close and caring of each other.
I can't even imagine the grief that your family is carrying in your recent loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
