Cute pics! I can't believe Mary B is so grown up! I hope she at least has her little girl voice :)We have got to get together when things settle down...I would love to come to Cullman and hang out and see your house...I dream of having an old house one day!
Hope! congratulations on the house I am so happy for you guys. It was so good to get to spend some time with your family when you were in Fairhope. Your pics are great and I love the slideshow someone has to show me how to do this! love, nan
Hope I definitely remember the singing we did at UWA. It was so much fun. So glad you getting to catch up with everyone. Hope I get to see You soon too.!!
hope I don't know when you will read this but I want you to know that we are praying hard for you and Billy and the kids right now. My heart is so sad.
Hope, I am literally heart sick over this tragedy. We are praying for you guys that the Lord would bind you all up in his arms and hold you tightly as you fight to take the next breath after such a tremendous loss. We love you guys. -annie
Hope and Billy, I am so very sorry for your loss. I can't even imagine how hard this must be on your family. I am so sad about this. She was such a sweet little girl. I will be praying for you. Again, if there is anything we can do, please let us know.
Hope, I want you to know that we are praying for all of you and holding you close to hearts. Our hearts are breaking for you. We love you all and grieve for you. Please let us know if we can do anything. In the meantime, we pray hard for you,Billy,Holden, Ellie and Mary H, and especially for Alaina. Love you Kari Veenstra
Hope and Billy, We are praying for you guys. My heart is breaking for you guys. I don't know what to say. We want to be there for you and try to help in any way we can. I am so sorry. We love you all. Al and Laura
Hope, I know your pain and I am grieving ever so hard with you. I truly understand what it means to mourn with those who mourn. Carlton and I have been begging God for mercy and peace all day long.
I want you and Billy to know that we are here for you, at any time, especially down the road when everyone else seems to move on. Anytime you need a listening ear, I am here. I understand all the emotions that you are going to feel. Don't be hard on yourself. You will be giving God the glory through all the ups and downs. Hope, I know it feels like the burden and fog will never lift. But, I can promise you this. God, Christ your Savior, will be ever so present with you through this. You will experience Him like never before. You just cling tightly to Him. He is there. I love you and I WILL NOT stop praying. I will see you in a few days and we will cry together.
Hope and Billy, My heart is broken. Your baby girl was just beautiful and precious. I know how loved she was. My family and I (including all my extended family) are praying fervently for you to be sustained through this. God made her, loves her and will keep her until she can be with you again. Heaven is a REAL place and you will see that baby girl again.
Hope and Family: Please know that we are so sorry to hear of your tragic loss. Alaina will be missed by everyone that knew and loved her. You and your family are in our prayers and thoughts. We miss you guys! Karen and Rob Cartee Yorkville, IL
Hope, I just read the news of your tragedy on Aimees blog and it breaks my heart to hear of this happening to your family. I will be praying for you, Billy & your children for God to give you the strength to get through your time of need. Love in our Bond, Erica Agee
Hope and Billy, Words can't express how saddened I have been about the loss of your precious little girl. She looked exactly like a "little Hope" with lighter hair. I remember you as a child, Hope, and how you had that curly hair and cute button nose. I have been praying for all of you and my heart is broken for you. Look to Jesus as you have said and He will help you one day at a time. God bless you all. Love, Mrs. Thompson (your 6th grade teacher)
Thank you for letting us join in on your blogspot. As painful as it was to read your last journal entry, I needed it. The words were so inspirational, as well as comforting as I wonder why God allowed this to happen to such a wonderful, spiritual, close-knit family. I know now that God will use you all to touch weak people, like me. Cory and I are praying for you all, and will continue to lift you up each and every day. If you ever need anything in Butler, please call us. We love you all.
"You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you. Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord God is an everlasting rock." Isaiah 26:3,4
He has been our rock more than ever before since July 2,2008. This is the day we found our four year old daughter, Alaina ("Lew") who died unexpectedly during the night. She was sick the day before with what we thought to be a stomach virus. We still don't have all the "medical answers" but we believe fully that her days were ordained before the foundation of the world. So this is our story Along the Road....trusting in a God who is good and uses everything in our lives for His glory no matter how hard and painful it may be. Really, this is HIS story... He is the author and perfecter and we are just characters in the story. I pray all the details will point you to Him.
