God's Word helps all of us to know that children are a gift from God given to parents. And it is times like these - immeasurably hard - that we offer sincere, heartfelt prayers thanking God for the gift of Breilla and for those who cared for her and loved her. Even for a short while.

Our hope is that they would be comforted knowing God knows who and where His gifts are,
and that God never forsakes what He fearlessly and wondrously made.

Psalm 127:3-5;
Behold, children are a gift of the LORD,
The fruit of the womb is a reward.
Like arrows in the hand of a warrior,
So are the children of one’s youth.
How blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them;
They will not be ashamed
When they speak with their enemies in the gate.

The parents will see her again on that fine morning.
And for that we humbly and thankfully Praise God.
Blessings,
Mark

I know the pain of losing a daughter, mine was 13 when she was beckoned by God. My love, thoughts, prayers and tears go out to your family. May they find solace in knowing her pain is gone. God bless the children
