Kendra





Our little friend, Kendra, was called home to Jesus tonight. She passed at 520 tonight, her family home with her. Please say a prayer for her family tonight, as they grieve for their "Kenben". She has suffered more pain, more surgery, and more medical procedures than any 5 year old should have to have. The last few months have been especially painful, requiring more and more pain meds to keep her comfortable. She is now resting in God's arms, painful no more, no more tubies or scars, no more vomitting, and no more tears. Now the tears are experienced by those left on Earth, to grieve their loss, their missing family member. Please pray for them to find the strength to carry on, to pull together, even tighter than they have been before, and to find peace. I know the pain and sadness I feel, I can't even begin to understand what they are going through. Pray for them to rely upon each other to fill the hole that Kendra's going home has left. What else can I say? There are no other words tonight, sorry.

I don't know what to say either, except that I am so sorry. I hope that you and the kids are doing ok to. Praying for them and for you all too. These pictures make me smile, but they also just break my heart.

I am so sorry! Never, never easy and I won't pretend to have the right words. How is Becca doing? I'm glad you could still enjoy some time together before she passed... God promises a time of no more pain, sorrow or tears - now, Kendra is there! We are the ones that need to remember the joy and love that she brought - her life not her death!

I'm terribly sad to hear of Kendra's passing. We are all thinking about her and her family. I'm also hoping you and your family are hanging in there Susan. I worry about Becca. I feel like now more than ever is a good time to make sure you all know how much I love you all and that I'm so happy to have you in my life. Love, Susie

Oh, wow. I'm so sorry to hear this, and I'll be praying for you and your family, as well as Kendra's family and other friends.
