Our thoughts and prayers will continue to be with all of you.<BR/>My Daughters Blog is below.....<BR/>Best of everything to your family,<BR/>Stella Kiss<BR/> http://www.vickinorris.blogspot.com/Stella Kissnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12947560.post-85309495091109399312008-09-12T10:32:00.000-06:002008-09-12T10:32:00.000-06:00I will be praying for your beautiful family and that our Heavenly Father will give you the much needed strength to carry your very heavy load.

You and your family are such amazing people! I know a little of what you mean about living while you are in shock. I pray you will continue to have strength and feel the love and power of prayers in behalf of your sister, brother-in-law, and all of you who are taking care of the children, and also, the grief I know you feel because the unknown can be so terrifying. Have faith and hope! Miracles happen and your loved ones are being watched over. Almost a year ago my honor student, handsome, athletic, and musically talented 17 year old son was in a horrible car accident. He called and told us when he would be home from a friend's house. When he didn't arrive, my husband and I went searching for him on the rural canyon road where we knew he would be traveling. We found him. He was alive. His car had rolled four times. His brain was injured. He was in a coma for two months, in a rehab hospital for three months, then I have become his therapist at home ever since. Miracles happen! He is back to school full-time and working to get it all back! I share my story because there were times when I wondered if we would be happy again. I didn't see how my son could get better. I know you all have a long, hard road ahead of you, but time will help as you show your faith and love in each other and in our Savior. My sister gave me a quote to read. "As you cheerfully do all things that lie in your power, you can rest assured that the Lord will do the remainder and things will work out all right." I send my love and prayers for you all. Please try to get the rest you need. God bless you.

A letter to President Hinckley from his father while he was on his mission in England. He was feeling discouraged, down, and this was his father's response. I'm sure you can relate. Our thoughts and prayers are with you every day.Lucyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04356572783333112104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12947560.post-11333567047653734402008-09-09T16:13:00.000-06:002008-09-09T16:13:00.000-06:00::hugs:: You are amazing.Jainahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05666481569069955190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12947560.post-26142886355619067512008-09-09T16:00:00.000-06:002008-09-09T16:00:00.000-06:00You are all beautiful examples of such a poetic (and prophetic) statement.Nikkihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05244991435031325330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12947560.post-7202251586768216522008-09-09T10:03:00.000-06:002008-09-09T10:03:00.000-06:00thank you so much for reiderating "forget yourself and go to work".

You are the example of loving one another unconditionally.<BR/>It is amazing how trials snowball, how they help so many people, how they bless so many lives and show the most important things of all. Our Heavenly Father answers all of our prayers in his own due time. That is something I have learned. "In His Own Due Time" his time is so different from ours, he knows it is, but he loves us and wants us to hold on and trust with everything we have.<BR/>Thank you all for your support to each other daily in Utah and AZ. You have touched millions of lives around the world, you have reminded us all that our Heavenly Father is there we just need to talk and listen to him. He is going to always be there for us, he just wants us to remember him more and follow his sons example. You have all done that and you have help many more to realize it isn't to hard to sit very still and listen to the spirit and care for others.<BR/>Your families are in the temples around the world, I pray we will never forget the love that we are all feeling just knowing you from the world of blogging.<BR/>Love,<BR/>Sister Petersen<BR/>Fremont, CASisterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15497077841495465708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12947560.post-51815338192593902942008-09-08T16:11:00.000-06:002008-09-08T16:11:00.000-06:00many prayers &amp; wishes going your way...I have no doubt all your efforts have been blessed.Amyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12695647322001645909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12947560.post-14205931152029704992008-09-08T13:25:00.000-06:002008-09-08T13:25:00.000-06:00First time I've been able to see the word verification to comment!

Seriously times like these...something like that makes the world go 'round. Glad he recognizes this and you have such a strength beside you. I admire your entire family, the way they have pulled together. It is astounding and brings tears to my eyes daily. Your sister and her husband and children are never far from my mind. I think about all of you as I make bread, paint the deck, do the dishes, play with my own children. Prayers are said silently for them...in my heart and in my mind. I know we don't know one another...but you are thought of and hoped for more than you can ever know.
