Prayers for your family.

Prayers for your sister and your whole family. This is a pain that parents and family never expect to feel. I'm sure the little angel has felt the families love while she was called home.

Love and prayers.

May God watch over your sister and her husband, and give them peace and strength to endure this trial. May He hold them close and comfort them, in Jesus' name.

God Bless her, and her family. Let Him hold you in His arms. In Christ's name, Amen.

Hello all. I am PING those of you who have responded on this thread with prayers, advice and support.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for including us in your talks with God.

Renee and Kirk are still at the hospital, as Renee is recovering from the C-Section. She still cannot cry very much, as the c-section hurts too much if she does.
They are hanging in there as best as can be expected, but right now I am of the opinion that it is still going to get much worse, before it gets better.

2 freepers have responded to me privately with their own horrors of this tragedy, and I want to let them know how absolutely invaluable their advice has been. One FReeper even has a ministry for others who have gone through this horrible experience. Like I told her yesterday, writing to her was the only helpful thing I did yesterday.

Update on the baby.
Samantha was 7lbs 6 oz and 21 inches long.
She had blondish brown hair and a cute little turned up nose. She had her mom's long, long fingers and toes and was perfect in every way.
It appears that she had "placental abruption". They are doing an autopsy though, to find out for sure.
They were able to spend about 6 hours with Samantha and the hospital had her in a beautiful lavender gown and matching blanket. They took hand prints and foot prints and have a lock of hair. They also took many, many pictures.
I can't imagine that this is all that they have to remember their daughter by, but I am so glad that they at least of those things.

The funeral will be on Thursday afternoon and they are progressing in making the arrangements.

She has asked me to wait and fly out on Wed. so I can stay longer after the funeral services.

I wanted to let you all know how this was going, but if you would like of my list, let me know.

Again, please keep Renee and Kirk in your prayers, I am trusting that it is making a difference.

Thank you all again and God Bless.

Heavenly Father, please wrap Your loving arms around Renee, Kirk, MOsby and all of their family members as they go through the heartbreak of burying little Samantha.

We are certain, through our faith in You, that little Samantha is in Your loving embrace for all of eternity. Your legions of "little angels" are charged with the task of overseeing us all as we go about our daily tasks. We are grateful for their presence in our lives.

Grant healing to little Samantha's family and strength to see them through the coming weeks and months. We ask these favors as Your humble and contrite servants in the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, Amen.

BTTT!!!!!!!

[Amelia]

M0sby, I'm glad you and the rest of the family are there for Renee and Kirk. They are in my heart and in my prayers.

[hocndoc]

As bad as losing Samantha is, we all need to thank God that Renee is still alive, because she could have bled too much, too. Renee can't know it now and both she and Kirk will have to go through a lot of grief before they believe it, but God spared her life. He must have a plan.

I'll pray that healing, both body and heart, will be according to God's will and as rapid as possible.

[Brad’s Gramma]

...In Jesus' Name,

AMEN!


M0sby...I love you. You've been a dear friend for quite some time now. PLEASE listen to all of the wonderful Freepers with their loving words...again, give Renee a big hug from me when you see her.

God MUST have really REALLY big plans for her.

Love,
BG

Thanks for the update. This is so heartbreaking. Continued prayers.

[Fawnn]

More prayers for Renee and Kirk, and their daughter Samantha.

I wish I knew the words to say to bring comfort. I pray that God provides the comfort that all of you need during this sad, sad time.

I agree that God does have a wonderful mission in store for Renee.

The other day my daughter shared this quote with me:

***Faith makes things possible, not easy.***

I guess it's times like these that we realize that God's plans are sometimes difficult to understand and accept. I'll also pray that throughout the coming days that everyone's faith is strengthened so that things do become possible, and easier.

Love in Christ,
...

O Father our King, we continue our prayers for your dear children, Renee and Kirk, beseeching You that Your Blessed Holy Spirit would impart to them Your Supernatural Peace, Eternal Love, and Sweet Comfort both now, and in the coming days, of this severe trial. Our Loving Lord, we thank Thee that little Samantha is safe with Thee at this moment, wrapped securely in Your Arms of Love, and that no power in all of Creation can ever pluck her out of Thy Protecting Hand, O Sovereign, Loving Shepherd of our souls. Your cherished son and daughter, Renee and Kirk, will see her again one day, and the Joy of that Reunion, my King, will be both inexpressible and overflowing! We thank You, our Loving Savior, for preserving Renee; there is still much work to be done for our King. Hold Thy precious ones close to Thy Tender Heart of Love, Sweet King, and we will continue to lift Thy beloved before Thee in the coming days. In the Matchless Name of our Savior, Christ Jesus, I pray, amen.

[Faith]

Please know how my heart aches for you, your sister, and your whole family. These terrible losses leave us filled with the question, "Why?" Only the Lord knows the complete answer. May Renee and Kirk be upheld by the hand of Samantha's Creator through the prayers and the loving support of family and friends. Samantha is loved both in heaven and on earth.

Holy Father,
You know the aching and the sorrow that are contained in the hearts of Samantha's mother and father. In these days of tremendous confusion and distress, please hold this couple close to You. Give them the blessed assurance that You will lead them through these dark days of sorrow. Perform a mighty work in them, Father, as they trust in You for all they need. In the Name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Praying for the family that they would be comforted in this grievous trial!

[cubreporter]

Oh dear Lord. What a heartwrenching story that was to read. My stomach felt ill with the deep sadness of it all. Gosh, the baby was so strong at 7 plus lbs and 21 inches long. Why did it all have to go so bad right at the end? Devastating...just devastating for those parents who waited so long with such hope and love for the coming child. I'm so happy they had all those hours with Samantha and that she was dressed so beautifully for her parents.
Well, the footprints and hair clippings and photos will sustain them because that is all they have but...it is the world to them and I imagine they will cling to all of this until such time as their broken hearts begin to heal somewhat. God bless them all and our prayers for the recovery of the mother who must be in total agony with the C-section healing and the loss of the baby. Oh, I can't even begin to imagine their pain.
