The wife of Arizona State Treasurer Dean Martin passed away Monday night shortly after giving birth to the couple's firstborn son.
Oh how tragic.......Logan’s Prayer Warriors...please, pray for this baby and his Daddy...
Prayers up!
Prayers sent.
Why oh why oh why does a family that wants a baby have this happen to them? The mother passes...the baby is critical and how very devastated the husband must feel and how terribly ALONE he must feel.
To the daddy: Pray hard...comfort and touch your baby. Austin will feel your love through that touch and he will feel the love of his mother as well through the loving touch of his daddy. Again I ask why and once again...I know there is no real answer that we can comprehend but...there IS an answer and reason according to God’s plan. I sure don’t like it but I know it is there.
In the meantime...we will pray hard for Austin and remember a baby long ago named Logan who fought like a little trooper and made it. We are hoping the same thing for this tiny baby who is beginning his life with a loss already and a major one at that.
His daddy will tell him that his mommy loved him with all her heart and wouldn’t have gone if she didn’t have to. They will be reunited one day and oh what a joyful time that will be. Our hearts and prayers go out to everyone.
As for negative posts...just ignore them. Some people have no souls...it’s evident more and more. Let’s just concentrate on those that do have souls, feel God’s love and learn to live and breathe each day no matter how heartbreaking it is. We have faith and it will get us through.
God speed to the baby, husband and rest of family. :(
Prayers for her eternal rest, and for the healing of their baby.
I couldn’t have said this better. May the Lord wrap his arms around father and son.
I join in prayer for this baby and father!
I saw them at the State Meeting in January. They were ecstatic about the upcoming birth of their son.
Kerry was a beautiful, sweet woman and my heart goes out to Dean.
He and Austin are in my prayers.
BTTT
Prayers...
Amen. :(
I have always believed that a woman that dies in childbirth goes straight to heaven.....praying that the baby pulls thru.
Yup; that’s where Kerry is. I’m so sorry, though, for Dean.
‘grave’ condition is not good...not good at all...I’m praying so hard for this little one to pull through...
I’m sure he’s getting the best care; I’m praying too.
Austin passed away last evening. Please pray for Dean and his family.
A very amazing thing about Treasurer Martin. Despite his grief, he was thinking of others while telling prospective mothers not to worry. That the complications that caused his wife’s death are very rare.
