Prayers Needed...
I know I have many friends out there who regularly call on the name of the Lord on behalf of those in need. My friend, Helen & her husband, who go to church with me lost their 17 year old daughter, Kayla, in a terrible car wreck last Friday night. The funeral is tomorrow. This accident has devastated the whole family and our church family. Dear sweet Kayla was a Christian young lady, full of life, always smiling, and loved by all who knew her. She was the one who always sought out the new kid at school, the kid who didn't really fit in, the kid who really needed a friend. Never met a stranger, never judged or talked bad about anybody. She will surely be missed. Wish I had a photo to show you... Your prayers will be greatly appreciated.

Oh, friend, I know how devastating that is, but I know the One Who's BIG ENOUGH. The family and friends and church will be in my prayers. Praying peace and comfort.
Prayers... and prayers... blessings ~ tanna
Yes, yes, yes, praying for Kayla's family, her church family, and all of her friends. Sending love...
I know their pain. Our son, Joshua was killed in auto accident at 16 yrs old in 2003.
The only thing people can do at this point is pray that they feel God’s presence.
I’ll leave my email and would like to stay in touch with you.
Love them like nobody’s business.

This brought tears to my eyes! I just cannot imagine the pain that her family and friends are feeling right now. Sending prayers for healing and understanding.
Blessings.
Praying for the peace that passes understanding. Thankfully, although as believers we still grieve, it is not without hope in resurrection. Praying for strength for all.

What a tragedy, we have to believe God has a plan, however, difficult it may be to accept. Keeping this wonderful family in my prayer's. Sending blessings from Maine.
Hi Vicki...
So sorry for this loss...My family knows all too well about this kind of tragedy....
I am asking God to bless this family with Comfort and Peace...There will be many hard days ahead and I will continue to pray for them and for your community...
Thanks for letting us know this need. I love knowing that we all can lean on one another through difficult times. Bless you.
I hate to hear about the loss of such a promising young person. My prayers will definitely be with the family.
I am so sorry to hear this sad news, I will be glad to pray for this dear family and community.
Hugs,

so sorry for your loss, its devestating to lose someone so full of life. Cyber hugs to you and her family.
Prayer going out for Kayla's family.
This hits close to home. The only comfort that can be given is that the Lord will eventually call all of us home and we will finally be able to be together again, never to be separated again. Clinging to this hope and this future in Heaven is sometimes the only life-line available after loss of such devasting magnitude. There will be a day of being together again. Thank God that this life is temporary and that the Lord is so generous to offer us a Heavenly Home. I pray that your friends will find a way to continue to live this life FULLY, on behalf of their daughter while knowing the day will one day come when they can all rejoice in eternity together. Til then, each day here on Earth must be lived to honor their daughter and their faith in God...taking it moment by moment. Time doesn't necessarily heal, but it does help us learn how to cope with our realities...God is always near; He's ready to cradle us in His loving arms and He cries with us. Life can seem so unfair. I pray for your friends to find their way, with support of friends and family because it will be a long journey. May God touch their home with His calming, loving embrace.
It is interesting that I only just saw this post today. We lost a family friend and coworker unexpectedly last night. He was in his 40's. I know that Kayla's family will still need prayer for a long time.....I'll do my best to keep them in my prayers. Separation on this earth is sooooo hard. Makes Eternity all the more attractive.
Hugs,
Vickie I just saw this post.
I'm so sorry. I'm praying and will continue in the days to come.
Big hug.
This is so very sad. Many prayers are coming your way tonight,
Jane
Oh yes, what a loss for her family and community.Prayers for you all.
Vickie, I've just now read this post. I'm so very sorry and will pray for her family and friends. This is just so very sad and my heart goes out to everyone who knew her as well as her family.
Blessings, Cheryl
I am late reading this post but will pray for her family and your church family as well.
Oh so sorry...praying now, although I can never wrap my brain around events like this God can and His peace and touch is what is needed in this situation. Such a hard thing to see and also walk through.
Blessings to all as you all are the hands and feet to the this grieving family. Even Jesus wept because of Lazarus death and He knew He would raise him...may we enter into the sorrow also.
Hi Vicki~
What a tragedy, my prayers will be with her family, that they can find peace and comfort in their lives. It's always so hard to lose those you love, especially at such a tender age.
Enjoyed your comment today - life is so busy, but we truly need to stop and smell the roses, and cherish each moment.
Hugs,
Barb
So Sad! My thoughts and prayers are with them.
