i can't believe i'm typing this. i'm absolutely shellshocked that this would happen again... so soon... in the same sunday school class... to people i know.
please pray for a couple in my class, jon and eva cole. last night their little 7 week old daughter, lucy, passed away in the hospital. i don't exactly know what happened and i don't think she had any ongoing health problems. apparently yesterday she started having trouble breathing, they took her to the hospital, she stopped breathing, and ran to Jesus. that's all i know. i don't know jon and eva very well, but eva was one of rachel's sunday school teachers in her old class and i just saw her and precious lucy at a baby shower saturday morning. lucy was sleeping pretty much the whole time, wearing pink, and eva was carrying her in a brown blanket. this may seem silly, but i've only ever seen lucy a couple times b/c they just started bringing her to church recently and this will be my only clear way to remember her.
i don't have any answers or have any clue what to say... i just wanted to put this put here to get as many people as i could praying for them.

I just got the email about this, and I'm shocked too. I didn't know them very well and only saw Lucy once from a distance, but this just makes you stop and pray.

With tears and heavy hearts we are praying that God would bring them great comfort...

Oh Lord. I can't believe it, Andy. I'm so sad to hear that this has affected another young family. I can't even imagine. I will definitley keep them in my prayers. I wish I had words of wisdom or comfort, but I'm no good when it comes to that. I will lift them up to Jesus though- He is the ultimate comforter

Andie,

I am so sorry to here this. My co-worker gave birth to her little girl in October and had to bury her 3 days later. We were pregnant together for so long, I had no idea what to say and felt guilty just to be pregnant myself. Please know that this family is in our thoughts and prayers.
