Please pray for the Lusko family
With heavy hearts we announce that Lenya Avery Lusko went home to be with the Lord in heaven after a severe asthma attack. We grieve, but we rejoice, knowing that to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.
In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to Skull Church.

I don’t even know you but reading this news through Crystal’s page broke my heart as I lost my daughter to her respiratory illness a year ago. I said a prayer for your family for now…and for the years to come. Blessings.

I have been following freshlife church, skull church, and your family since the very first skull church. Even though I don’t know you personally it feels like I have known you forever.

I earnestly pray for all of God’s comfort to surround you and your precious family. I am so sorry.

My heart grieves for you. I pray God’s loving arms to be around you to comfort you in this time. No words can express my thoughts and sorrow. I know that you are strong and are leaning on the father but know that there are many many many people praying for you, your family and those affected by the loss of your sweet daughter.

Pastor Greg is my Pastor and I just found out about your little girl… I have enjoyed what you have to say Levi when you have come to speak at Harvest Riverside… Oh dear heavenly Father I’m paying for your beautiful little daughter and I am praying for you and your familys loss
-
I am so heartbroken right now, and in total shock… Praying as the Lord gives me words and utterances for this precious family, and also our church family, as we are all grieving the loss of this precious child. Pastor Levi and Jennie, I can not imagine your heartbreak right now, praying the Lord’s arms of comfort around you and your family right now.
-
Lord- We ask for comfort for the family that is left behind…. We know that Lenya is with you, and healthy.
Lord, please bring this family the comfort that only you can bring… Be the strength and strong tower Lord. We turn to you during this most difficult time for them as a family. We love you Lord and thank you. In your sons most precious name. -
My dear Lusko family, Norb and I are so sorry for your tremendous loss. We love you from afar (Walla Walla) but pray for your safety daily. God must have really needed another angel when he called her home. Please know how much we care and will pray for your comfort at this time.
Sincerely,
Debora and Norbert Rossi -
Our God is not a god of platitudes or wishful thinking, but “A man of sorrows, aquainted with grief.” Acquaint thyself with Him and be at peace.” Few experience the depths of what it is to “Know Him and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His suffering..” and my prayers will be fervent for you to experience the power of his resurrection and peace that passes understanding. My name is Wade Sorola. I attend Harvest Riverside. My wife Rosemary, my son Caleb and daughter Rebecca and I have been very blessed by your ministry! We will be ‘holding up your hands’ at this difficult time! Exodus 17:12.

“One thing I ask of the LORD, this is what I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD and to seek him in his temple. For in the day of trouble he will keep me safe in his dwelling; he will hide me in the shelter of his tabernacle and set me high upon a rock.”

My heart grieves deeply, two of my five children are asthmatic, one moderate, one severe, although as they have grown we’ve learned to manage the onsets/triggers and avoid when possible, Every other month in the hospital oxegyn crib/tent, neb treatments every two hours while they sleep an exhausted sleep, nasty medicine that causes vomiting….we understand. nightmares in my sleep of them succumbimg fatally to the attack. My eyes and heart fill with tears that my nightmare is now your reality. I know the Lord is with you, may you feel His comfort and the prayers of your Christ family…..Love.

To man who has spoke Gods word into so many hearts. You and your family have my deepest sympathy. No one but God knows why. I know you have a gift from God to give his word. You have touched my life, as with many lives. I will pray for you and your family as so many of us will do. You have given so much and I wish there was something more I could give or do for you. May God be you and your family. I am sorry.

My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family Levi. I have had the great pleasure to hear you preach at Harvest Church in Riverside Ca, where I attend. Being a parent I feel your sadness, she’s in great hands with the lord. Your family will be in my nightly prayers.
God Bless

We are so so sorry for this deep hurt, we are heart broken and hope you know we are all praying, You have been such a blessing to our family and we are praying God will give you the strength that goes beyond understanding, our family has been shaken by this news and we hope all the prayers are felt in your hearts and home. May God give you what only He knows you need at this very moment.

Lord comfort the grief over such a terrible loss. Help this family to find comfort in the knowledge that their little baby Lenya is with you now. She feels no pain, no fear. Only the warmth of your loving arms. She plays and laughs with all the other children who have gone before and since she went home. Keep this mother, Father and family in your warm and comforting arms. Bless them with a peace that passes understanding.
AMEN. -
Levi,
As the father of a little girl myself, I can’t imagine your grief. I only know that we have a King who does. Please be assured you and your wife are in my prayers. I have been a great admirer of your faith and hope. I’m sure I will continue to be.
In the grip of God’s grace,

Dear Levi & Jennie….We here at Harvest consider you family. Our hearts are broken and we have shed many tears for you and the loss of your little Lenya. We lost our son in 2007 and we know even though you know where Lenya is, what has happened is devastating. We will be praying for you everyday in the days ahead because we know you will only be strengthened by our loving God! I pray He wraps His arms around you and comforts you and bring you the peace you will need in the days ahead.
Love In Christ

Pastor lusko
U have been a rock for many, including myself. Your messages have always touched me. I attend church at harvest Christian in California and always look forward to your visits. Please rest assured that I will be diligently praying for you and your family. -
I feel so helpless. To a family that has given so much of themselves, I cannot give to them easily in their time of deep need. If prayers are what you need then that will I do as I do know the value of that! May the God of comfort wrap His loving arms around each one of you and hold you dear. May the sadness be replaced with gladness and rejoicing as Little Lenya is now in heaven where we all want to be. Be with the family especially at Christmas time to let it be a joyful celebration of your son’s birth and Lenya’s arrival. Hug all of them for me and let them know how special they all are! Thank you Lord for all that they have done in my life, the community, the nation and in the world. Protect them during their time of weakness, keep their health strong and their commitment to you even stronger.
Amen
-
Dear Lord, Please remember Lusko Family and comfort them with your Grace.
This is the comfort we have from the Living Word of GOD from
1 Thessalonians 4 : 13, 14But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope.
For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus.

Dear Pastor and Mrs Lusko. Our hearts brake for you and your loss of your precious little daughter Lenya. My wife and I have lost 4 little ones that we wanted very much. One at 14 days and 3 in the 3rd trimester. We feel your loss and are praying that our God and Jesus Christ will comfort you in this time of trouble. We are praying for you! God bless you and keep you in his firm and loving embrace.

Levi, You may never see this but I want you to know that we are lifting you, your pain and confusion before the King of Kings and asking that somehow though he may seem hidden the presence of Jesus would be tangible for you right now. Prayers from Melbourne, Australia. (P.S thank you for your ministry, I am preaching tomorrow from Esther, taking your lead from your series and encouraging people in pain to see God in the gaps, never absent, sometimes hidden but always present.)

Dearest Pastor Levi and Jennie…My heart breaks for you. What word can be spoken? What comfort can be extended? None! All I can do is come along side you and offer my prayers and express my sadness. May you find comfort in the only One who is able to give it, Our Savior Jesus Christ. Just as He is holding precious Lenya right now…may He hold you and your family.
-
My heart breaks for you and your family. I am so sorry for your loss. I too had a child go home to be with the Lord at the very tender age of 4. My son had cancer. God has a miraculous way of carrying us through this and giving us a peace like we’ve never known before. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.
-
Oh my heart is so heavy for you. My momma, Ada, went to heaven to be with The Lord the day before on the 19th. Maybe her and Lenya are together rejoicing and dancing with Jesus. May you see and feel God’s love and comfort as we are. He will get us through our heartaches. Ron & I will be praying for you. We will miss them so much, and we will look forward to our reunion with them when the Lord takes us home. Love, the LaFleurs
-
I am very sadden for the Lusko Family during this time of separation from their daughter Lenya. While we are encouraged to know Lenya is in Jesus loving presence I can only pray Christ Jesus will comfort you and give you His strength. I am praying for God to help you through this.
-
My heart breaks for your precious family – you have had such an positive influence in my families life – more than you’ll ever know – I send my prayers and deepest sympathy – she’s very good company in her permenant home – when you lose a child to the Lord – this is when true faith is required – I know. I also know God will give you strenghth. God bless you and your family
-
Levi – we met you at a pastor’s conference here in Washington over a year ago. We recently had a couple from our church move to your neck of the woods and told them they had to attend your church – that you are a gifted teacher of the Word. They just told us about your precious little girl going home to be with her Savior. I know that you are rejoicing that she will never feel pain or deal with the things of this world but I also know that you will miss her with pain that is too great for words. We are so sorry and please know that your family will be in our prayers. Our church – The Bridge Christian Fellowship – will be praying constantly for you! We love you with the love of The Lord! In Jesus,

Dearest Lusko Family,
I am so very sorry for the loss of your beautiful, precious daugther Lenya. Our family understands the pain of losing a child and we want you to know that you are not alone. I never thought that a heart could be so broken and continue to beat but by God’s grace and mercy we take one breath at a time and continue forward, even when we do not want too. It has been almost 4 years since our son went to be with the Lord and in looking back I can say without a doubt that Jesus carried us through many dark days and continues to do so. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. God Bless.

Dearest Lusko Family,
Don and I are so sorry to hear this heartbreaking news about your beautiful daughter Lenya. We are saddened and grieved for your loss. May you find comfort and peace during this difficult time, and may you be covered by the love and prayers of your family, your friends, and your Father’s love.
With deepest regards,
Don and Jane Burleson -
I do not know your family, but I do know your Savior…I am asking Him to wrap His arms around you and to uphold you and comfort you as you grieve for your beautiful daughter. My heart is heavy for you; one of my sons is six and has asthma…there are no words. How we long for the day to be with our loved ones who have gone to heaven before us! They are in the presence of the King, but our lives have a gaping hole- may you find comfort in the times ahead. The Lord is close to the broken-hearted, and He saves those who are crushed in spirit. Know that brothers and sisters in Christ grieve with you and uphold you in prayer

Dear Levi and family, I am deeply sorry to hear about your little girl. Being a father of 4, it brings be great pain to hear this news. I don’t know if any words would bring you and your family any comfort, but as a brothebr in Christ and a fellow father, I send you a BIG hug. I will pray for your , family. I m sure ou little one is in heaven, praising the Lord. Our hope is we will see each.other again one day. God bless you brother
-
Praying for you. You are fighting the good fight, you are doing what is right. God is pleased with you guys. I marvel at how God allows such families of God to endure such warfare of the heart. My 3 year old battles with cold induced asthma and I never realized how fragile our breath is until he started his fits. My heart grieves for you because I know how desperate it is to watch a child suffer so much. I don’t understand why God spares some children and not others. Praying for you guys.

Levi and Jennie, my heart is so heavy with the loss of your precious Lenya. I know the Lord will lift you, love you, an refine you in the fire He reserves for the finest gold. This is a painful process, there is no doubt, Jesus walks and weeps with us, He knows how to grieve, and showed it to those He loved, knowing better than anyone that He was going to turn the hurt into joy. Don’t be surprised at the dept of the pain, but know that you will see your love again, and be filled with joy at that reunion. Loosing Pete has hurt more that I ever dreamed possible, but I have asked the Lord to show me how to grieve and invited Him into my sorrow, giving me a peace I could not imagine possible. The pain comes and goes, it is a long process yet one that you do not walk alone in even tho it might feel that way at times. So know that from the center of my heart that my prayers are constant and filled with love. God Bless
-
Levi & family,
“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God (II Corinthians 1:3-4).”
We know our Lord loves the little children and wants them to come to him. Thank God that can be literal, as difficult as that must be in the immediate emotion of it all. I was just listening to Greg Laurie on KNKT this week, about how God didn’t come to give us presents, but His presence upon his first advent. May God grant you a double portion of comfort in His Person this Christmas. Be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Our prayer is for you comfort AND that He may work this for your good to His glory.
The Blaser family,

There are no words… May the Lord give your family the Strength, Comfort, and Peace that only He can provide at this very difficult time. Please accept my humble, sincere condolences, our hearts are broken with yours. I also have four daughters and could not imagine the pain and heartache you and your beautiful wife must be experiencing. I have attended Harvest Christian Fellowship here with pastor Greg for 18 years and have followed your precious family pictures on Instagram (1flowergirl) for some time now, watching your lil angels grow.. You and your wife are truly an inspiration to so many of us. I think i am still in shock since hearing the news of your lil Leyna, I literally fell to my knees in prayer. I’m so grateful that we as believers have the Hope of Heaven, and the promise from our Father that this is not good bye forever, but UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN. I’m not sure if you will read this, but feel the need to tell you that you have touched so many lives. So many people Love you’re family are praying for you all… Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.” Proverbs 3:5

Dear Lenya,
I never knew you little child
But I heard stories of your love
Pictures Daddy proudly shared
Now returned to Heaven aboveIt’s not a tragedy to quickly leave
You will be missed and mourned
You have returned to be with Him
Though hearts feel they have been tornYour sweet, innocent, so gentle soul
Your smile, your laugh, will always be
Within our hearts, within our thoughts
Growing fondly, forever, in earthly memoryGod took your hand, you held it too
Quietly walked the path to eternity
Your love for Him, always good and true
Then, now and forever more, will always joyfully be. -
Our condolences go out to the Lasko family. Such a beautiful innocent little soul, so sad to hear of a tragic loss, the lord above has plans for this precious soul so be strong for she is protected by our father.

In Jesus Name…
The blessings and good thoughts, have not

following: The Book Of Jeremiah 29:11-13. -
God of all peace give you strength to go on without your little daughter. Only God know why but this thing is sure she is safe in the arms of Jesus right now. She cannot come back to you but you can go to her! Praise God for his promise to us. I am and will be praying for your family.

With grief in my heart, I wwrite to you and I say I am so Sorry that you have to go through this. NO words I say can give you comfort but I was shocked when I read your daughter died of an asthma attack. My son Solomon also died of an asthma attack. He was 4 years old, he died August 7,2011. But we feel like the Lord has told us that he would be there to greet the kids that come into heaven and show them around. Please Look at our pictures of Solomon in our albums and know that we are grieving with you and our son will be up there playing with Lenya until we all come home. God is with you.

Dear Lusko family,
It breaks my heart (again) to hear of the death of your beautiful daughter. I don’t know you, but I had my 11 year old son, Micah, go to be with Jesus just 2 months ago.
I will pray that Jesus will comfort you. He does not take the whole in your heart away, but He does give us hope that this broken world will be made whole again someday.
You will see and play and dance with Lenya again.
In the meantime, let the tears come, and let Jesus minister to your hearts.
-
My heart is broken for each one of you and for your extended Family. I know that you have MANY close friends and countless people who love and cherish you to support you through this devastating time. But I want you to know that I TRULY LOVE each one of you and I am SO THANKFUL for EACH OF YOUR HEARTS. Little Leyna LOVED JESUS and LOVED TALKING TO HIM. She is EVEN MORE PERFECT NOW, THAN SHE EVER HAS BEEN!..I LOVE YOU ALL AND WILL CONTINUE TO HOLD YOU CLOSE IN MY THOUGHTS & PRAYERS.
PSALM 62: 5-8 NIV -
My heart ia saddened to hear this news. Only THE LORD can bring comfort to the grieving and suffering that we go through while on this earth. HE promises to wipe away all of our tears and that day will come when you will again see your little precious daughter. I have been praying for your family since I heard the news last night. My heart goes out to you and your family during this extremely difficult time.
-
What can one say…Farewell to the little one who went home to be with Jesus…The angels all know your name and met you at Heaven’s Gate…An empty spot remains in the heart of those who loved you so much!!! Smile and put your small arms around His neck and tell Him we all want to see Him so very soon…good bye little one…

This is very sad news. Levi, we saw you give an announcement at the San Jose Crusade. I made a comment….WOW, that young preacher is fabulous. We love hearing you speak, seeing you and your wife at the Married Couples Conference, hearing about your family. We were shocked and saddened at the passing of your beautiful daughter. Please know that we, along with so many you don’t know have taken time from our day, and days, to lift up prayers to you and your family. Here is a big hug from Alice and Brent Bechtel

Dear Levi and Jennie,
Last year before Christmas I came very close to losing my son. You took time to pray with me in the grocery store. I now am taking time to weep and pray for you. Why my son was spared and not your little girl Lenya, I have no answers. He also suffered from asthma. I just know we all have heavy hearts at your loss and we are to weep with those who weep. So just know that many are weeping with you and for you both and Lenya’s siblings. We all love and care for you so very much. -
We are so sorry for your loss! Our hearts and prayers go out to you and your family! What a beautiful little princess she is! Now with her King Jesus, seeing all the things you have told her, her whole life about. I pray that the True Prince of Peace fills your hearts with supernatural peace and comfort! God bless you, Brad and Anna Valdez, your brethren from Calvary Chapel S.W. In Albuquerque.
-
Pasto Levi. Your message for Taylor Peterson and the Cfalls community was so powerful and touching.It gave strength and hope to the many of us who felt sad with Taylor’s departure. I wish I have the right words to give you that same strength. Please know that your messages change so many lives and day after day gives us hope to a better tomorrow. Praying to God to give you the force to keep going. Praying for you and all your family.

Tears of sadness for you Levi and Jenny in the home-going of your little girl, Lenya…May our God of all comfort wrap you both tightly in His loving arms. Father, You know exactly how it feels to have a child die, I pray your loving sustaining presence be showered upon Levi and Jenny as they mourn the death of their little girl. We look forward Father, to the moment when we all get to come home and are separated no more. Come quickly Lord Jesus!
-
I am SO SORRY for the unspeakable hurt, pain & loss your family must be feeling right now. I realize that there is nothing that I can say that will help to ease that deep pain in your hearts. Just KNOW that when Lenya took her last breath on this earth, she took her first breath of Heaven! What an AMAZING CHRISTmas she will have with JESUS! I will CONTINUE to LOVE ALL OF YOU, and HOLD YOU CLOSE IN MY THOUGHTS AND MY HEART! You all mean so much to me (and so many others).
-
I am so sorry. Pastor Gregg Laurie announced this morning about your daughter, Lenya’s going to be with Our Lord. I can’t even imagine the pain you,and your family are going through. I will be praying for you and your family through this very difficult time. May the God of all comfort, comfort your hearts and your souls, as only He can.
-
I will not say that she is now happy and healthy….
Because I know she is.
I will not say that God will comfort you…
Because I know He will.
I will not say you will go on…
Because I know you will.
I will not say that you will see her again…
Because I know you will.
I will not say that prayers are being said by the
hundreds…
Because you know they are.
I will say that my heart is heavy… my grief is real..
and I love you… Because I do. -

Dear Pastor Levi and Jennie I was so sorry to hear about your little daughter. I was at Harvest Christian Fellowship with Greg Laurie when he announced the message about your daughter and we prayed for you and your family. I will continue to keep your family in my prayers. May God comfort you and your family may His peace be with you.

Donna Davenport Says:Dec 23rd, 2012
Dearest Levi and Jennie, I have only met you a couple of times since my husband, Dennis and I live in S. California but I have been listening to your studies whenever possible. I see God’s anointing upon you Levi, and Jennie, your love for your husband, children and church is obvious and a blessing. I want you to know that Dennis and I are praying for you and your other 3 beautiful daughters during this very difficult time. I know this will be a very difficult Christmas, but knowing that this will be Lenya’s best Christmas ever must bring you great comfort! With love and fervent prayers, Donna Davenport

To the Lusko family, Levi and family, Chip, Laurissa I know your hearts are broken because mine was when I heard the sad news. I have prayed and prayed for the Lord to comfort your heavy hearts. Our great grandson Mason also has asthma and he was born 1-31-07 about same age as Lenya. May the love of the Lord keep you.
Gil and Ruth Madrid and all our family.
Mitchell also sends his love. -
I am so sorry about your loss Levi and Jennie……she was such a beautiful girl. My heart breaks for u both. I too have a 5 year old girl. There are no words that I can say to help you but I just pray that God would invade you and your wife with comfort and love you’ve never experienced before.

I was inspired to see you preaching the Word despite your daughters’ death. You know how to serve God with a Job like faith. God knew you would not forsake Him. He used you to show true christian faith. I’m thankful that we have an authentic man of God to lead our church.
-
I don’t know you and you don’t know me, and I certainly don’t know the hurt in your hearts…I’m just another Jesus follower, daddy, and pastor whose heart is heavy with you and your family. We mourn, but not like those without hope. Much respect for you, your family, and your church. May God be your peace now, brother. I can’t wait to meet you and your little girl someday…

Levi, Jennie, and family,

Levi and family,
I am so incredibly sorry for your loss and I continue to pray for you and your family. At such a tender age, Lenya’s love for Jesus is both remarkable and undoubtedly an inspiration to all. How blessed she is to have such loving parents and sisters and how happy she must be to be in the arms of her Heavenly Father. We love you Lusko Family. -

Dear Levi and Family…..
I cannot imagine what you have been or are feeling and am beyond sorry for your loss. The grieving process must take place and the loss of a child does not leave one’s heart, mind, or thoughts ever. Yet, we stand on God’s promises and I pray you can find the comfort of knowing you will see Lenya again one day. I pray that God’s perfect peace will reside in your hearts and grant you the strength you need each day to stand and withstand. The Lusko family shall remain in my prayers.

Dear Levi , Jennie, and family,
I’m so sorry. When any one of us hears this, no matter how far away we live, we
all feel a part of you and your family. You teach us about our Lord. You share your
life and the lives of your precious children. We all grieve, we all are praying with you and for you. May the love of our Lord hold you all. Our Lord keeps His promises.

I am so torn to hear about your sweet Lenya on Greg Laurie’s post. I have a 5 year old girl and I hurt to think of what your family is going through…I am praying for you, Jennie, the girls, and the rest of your family through this hard time… May you find comfort in knowing she is happy, holding onto Jesus’ hand. The heavens gained an another angel. Bless you and your family Levi.

Greeted Christmas morning with tears knowing how difficult this day would be for you. I’ve never seen the church more “one”. Sadly, it’s our grief that unites us all. It’s like one giant broken heart. The good news is that people are already coming to Christ because of Lenya. Her short life will impact people for many years to come. Thank you God for calling Levi. Thank you Levi for answering that call. You have made such a difference in the lives of so many. Including me. And, I don’t think it will be long before we are all reunited with your precious daughter. The hardest days are yet to come. Be kind to yourselves and do what you have to do to heal and comfort one another. We do love you all. A tearful, heartfelt; God Bless You and keep you in His GRIP.

Levy and Lusko Family:

Today, the day after Lenya’s celebration of life service, the radio message, MY SHEPHERT PROMISES, you gave is so powerful! God’s Word is always relavent, but today it was especially impactful in light of what you and Jenni have modeled for us in this deep trial. God is so GOOD! THE BEST IS YET TO COME!

Levi and family,
Greiving with you. We are praying for you all from Calvary Chapel Elizabeth. Pastor Jenn Lockerby, Elizabeth, CO -
We just wanted to let you know that we are soo sorry to hear about the loss of your little daughter. We know that there will be many tears in the days, weeks, and months ahead. With every tear that falls from your family’s eyes, may Jesus replace it with wells of joy that will fill your hearts once again when you see Lenya Avery running back into your arms again.
Here is a song that carried us through the time when we lost my wife’s mom. She passed away on December 15th so we know the pain you must be feeling on Christmas, but probably it is only a small comparison since your daughter was indeed such a big part of your life and you family’s life. It speaks so much of a loved one that has gone home for Christmas! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lA5N2sr8bW4

Until we see Lenya again in Glory…we pray for uwaivering strength in this earthen journey.
May God bless you and keep you in his loving grip – especially during this time of loss.

Today was the first time I have attended Fresh Life church in Billings, and I was so uplifted with the strength of your family during your difficult time. I have a 5 yr old daughter and after church we were going through her calendar and reading the bible versus she and I would write and memorize through out the year, this was the one we found today and I wanted to share as I have been praying and thinking of you all. I hope this brings comfort “As a mother comforts her child, so I will comfort you” Isaiah 66:13
-
I know you alreayd know this – but God has a plan in everything – even the passing of your daughter. I saw your nini sermon at Greg Laurie’s church online. I have been a sometime church member. This has enoucouraged me, as a saved individual, to become committed to my church – and to live more as Christ would have me live – as we individually also are the church. Prayers are with you and your family – our son also had severe asthma so we empathize with how it can affect a child’s life and that of their family.
-
My son is in heaven too and I remember the pain and the heartache but what I remember most of all is the amazing knwledge of the presence of God through it all. It hurt so much but at the same time I have never felt so close to God, so loved by Jesus as then. I know that God never leaves us alone. He has dried my tears and God Himself is collecting your tears. They are precious to Him because He knows that we love Him so much. I pray for you.
-
I am a sister in the Lord and I just heard on the radio about the passing of your beautiful little child. I am so deeply sorrowful and grieved for you. I know that you know she is at peace with her Savior, Jesus Christ. My family will be lifting up your family in our daily prayers. May the peace and comfort of our blessed Savior be upon you during this difficult time. -Esther (Calvary Chapel-Fontana, CA)

I just saw your blog and I wanted you to know that my heart goes out to you and your family. Your little girl is so cute and I know she is smiling down from heaven. I find so much strength seeing how people have lost so much and still have so much faith in God. It is truly amazing to me. I wished we lived closer as I would love to attend your church. I just got done watching the video of you speaking Jan 6. You were talking about planting your roots down and finding a church and staying there. I have found that I miss church but with a little one we have been shy about going as I am nervous about leaving him in a childcare center. After watching your message, I truly felt you were talking to me and you said what I needed to hear. I cannot imagine what you and yoru family must be going through but I am inspired by your faith and I will pray for you every day. God Bless
