"Re:  My Urgent Prayer Request"

 
Good morning Doves,

 
I just wanted to let yall know that little Amber passed away about 8:45 yesterday morning.  They disconnected her from life support and her mom  said it happened very peacefully and very quickly.  Please keep praying for her mom and grandparents and friends.  My daughter Meg and I have been very upset .......last week was very difficult and yesterday came with much sadness.  Everytime I think about it, it is like having a knife plunged into my heart.  I don't understand why a 17 year old girl had to die.  I do feel like the Lord spoke to me yesterday morning and said very gently that it is not my job to understand everything He does.......my job is to trust Him and obey.  We are feeling better today for the most part, although it hits me at times and almost overwhelms me.  I am just asking for heavenly peace and comfort for all of us.  I thank each one of you so much for every prayer..........keep praying for us.
 
With much love,

    Mary Haas
