I don't post much, I'm more of a quiet one but I would really appreciate your prayers right now.

My Aunt's mother was just killed in a car accident on her way to work this morning. She has owned a small daycare for the last 35 years which my sister and I both attended. My oldest DS was scheduled to start pre-k there next August and my heart goes out for all the children who attend now. Please keep my Aunt and her family in your prayers.
 
Father God, we so totally don't understand tragedy and we lay all those who are in the midst of this one before you now. Please be close to each family member affected by this loss. Please send special angels to all the children who will miss this special lady. Chances are she didn't take daily care of them personally, at least not all of them, but most certainly looked in on them often and had an impact on their lives. Hold them all close to you dear Jesus and comfort their hearts. In Jesus name, Amen
 
Bless your family during this difficult time.
 
Kimberly,

I'm so sorry for your family's loss - my prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time.
 
I'm so sorry. May the Lord of All Comfort hold you close. You'll be in my prayers.
 
I am so sorry. You all in in my prayers. God will comfort.
 
Sorry for your loss...all death is hard but "accidental" deaths hit even harder sometimes.
