I just wanted to ask for prayer for some friends of ours. They lost their 3 year old daughter this morning. There were some complications during child birth and she suffered brain damage. These parents have loved and advocated for their daughter. They have been around the world an back (literally) getting her different treatments that she needed to help give her the most out of life.
All of that said, this was completly unexpected. They were on vacation in Florida visiting family. I don't know any details right now. I know they are currently traveling back to Texas and the family is working on getting her transported back home so that they can bury her.
Please pray for them. I can't imagine what they are going through right now. They also have a 9 mo old baby girl.
 
How sad! Praying for all of them as they go through this horrible time.
 
Prayers. A loss of a child is unimaginable.
 
I have lost a child and know this incredible pain. My prayers go out to this family.
 
Awe my heart goes out to them. How very sad. :(
 
I can't imagine the pain they're going through. Prayer said.
 
I know we chatted last night about this but prayers for their loss...it is a terrible pain
