  • lots of tears and sadness..

    This morning God called my six year old niece Kassandra home to be with Him. She was a twin and loved by many. Tears and more tears have been shed and my heart just breaks for my dear sister Rachel and her husband Mike Weirich and her twin Klarrisa, and sister Lakisha and brother Zachary. Kassandra had not be feeling well the last week and this monday took a turn for the worse so Rach took her the doctor yesterday and he thought it might just be a virus but Rach insisted he do something more cause of sick she was, she complained alot about her stomach and didn't eat or drink that much so they did blood tests and checked for appendicitus and it came back clear but he also did a chest x-ray and she had pneumonia and so gave her antibiotics and sent her home, she started coughing yesterday and didn't sleep at all during the night and by this morning was alot worse, so she told she is taking her back to the doctor and left the room to do something and her twin Klarrisa came out and said she isn't breathing so she called 911 and did CPR the best she knew, she died at the hospital then. They plan to do an autopsy to determine her death, the doctors are suspicious there was something else going on, she was born with a hole in her heart so that might have something to do with it. Please pray for Mike and Rach that they do not blame themselves, they did all they knew to do and it was Gods timing, He wanted her at home to be with Him. It hurts so much and the pain is so raw but so thankful for the prayers of friends it means so much and I feel Gods arm wrapped around us, this is the first death in my family and it so hard. They were going to start school on Monday and their birthdays are Sept 30, the twins were use to doing everything together and Klarrisa will be lonely. The weeks ahead will be painful for the Weirichs so if you think about breathe a prayer for them. If you're a mother kiss your children and tell them you love them cause tonight there is a mother and father who do not have their daughter to kiss and hug.

  • I'm so, so sorry! I cannot imagine the heartache....I will so be praying for you all. May Jesus come and comfort you, speak peace to all your hearts and I just pray especially for little Klarissa that Jesus would hold her tight. Jesus, don't let her become bitter, but may she feel your comfort and please send her a little friend to help her go thru this time of lonely grieving. Please, please, Jesus, just guide and give Mike and Rach wisdom and lots and lots of peace as they walk thru this valley. Things like this with twins just feel so close to my heart, know that I will be thinking and praying, Jess

  • I have been thinking of you and praying for your family. So sudden and it leaves a big gaping hole in your hearts. Praying God will give Mike and Rach sufficient grace and strength as they sort through their own grief and also grace and patience as they guide their children through this valley. May all of you feel God's amazing love and peace! - Bonita
