I have a special request---

Post by barbaranoela »

My daughters best friend in--Calif. just callled Deb to tell her that her daughter---crossing to get to her college--was struck by a car that jumped the red light--and killed her--

Last year she lost her hubby to cancer and now she has nothing--
Needless to say Deb is so very distraught and is considering flying from Boulder to Calif- to be with her friend--

So would U all please say a prayer for Chelsea--that life can be hers again--perhaps in a different manner but somewhere there HAS to be some happiness to fill her life again--

Never will I ever understand these horrid things that befall people~~~
Thank U all--

Barbara

Barbara I most certainly will keep her in my prayers and thoughts. I wish I understood why things like this happen.

Thanks for letting us know

Barbara,

What a terrible tragedy...especially after losing her husband last year. I'm so sorry and I will certainly keep Chelsea in my prayers.

Barbara, I am sorry, and will pray. These things are so hard any time, but seem to be especially hard at Christmas time.

Morning Barbara,

Chelsea will definitely be in my prayers. One can never understand why these things happen and as you know - I do not believe and hate the expression that we are given only what we can handle or that things like this make us stronger. They only make us sad and feeling lost.

Love, Maggie

Hi Barbara, I am so sorry to hear that so much tragedy happened to your daughters friend in only one year. Praying is new for me, I only do it for a couple of weeks now. During thiese weeks I have discovered the enormous power of praying. So of course in my next prayer I will ask for special attention, help and support for Chelsea. And bless you for asking us for praying for her.

Dear Barbara,

I am so sorry for Chelsea's loss. I prayed for her as soon as I read your message, and will continue to remember her. How tragic to lose both her husband and her daughter in such a short time. I pray for Chelsea to have strength to get through this, and friends to support her.

Barbara,

I have added Chelsa to my prayer list. Would you ask Deb to tell her that she has a lot of folks saying prayers for her.

Hugs,
Jan
