Okay...so this is personal.

This is my sister Michelle.  She is four years younger than me.  I don't have a single childhood memory without her in it.  We are close and I love her with everything in me!

She has helped quite a bit over the past years with Baby be Blessed.  Mostly she has cut, sewn and stuffed lots of those arms and legs you have on those babies of yours!

On March 9, 2014 she lost her husband Rick in a tragic accident.  He was 36 years old.  Together they have six children.

As you can imagine things have been hard.

I don't even have the words to put here to share how something like this feels, it's awful!  To see someone you love so much, hurt...and there is nothing that can make it better.  It's heartbreaking.  I praise God that we have Hope through Jesus Christ!! All I could think of is that God WILL USE THIS FOR GOOD....He promises!  We don't understand.  We don't feel that it is fair, but we TRUST in the One who allows us to take another breath and then the next...and that is how Michelle is working through this whole thing, one hard step at a time....

Please pray over my sister and these sweet children who mourn the loss of a husband and father.

Rick did not have life insurance and we have set up a fundraiser (link in the left sidebar) to help pay for funeral expenses.  I hesitated to share...I've never asked you to give to something so personal before, and please don't feel obligated.  I just felt the Lord say that it was okay to share here with you, so thank you for listening!

Above all else, please pray.
