Prayers needed

This post is not about our little Reed, who is doing wonderfully! My post today is requesting your continued prayers for my distant family. My second cousin, Amy Beggs Justice, was killed Saturday morning, along with her son. Her daughter is the sole survivor, since her husband took his own life after he shot the others.

The funeral for all three family members will be tomorrow. Please wrap these families in your constant prayer through the next few days as they say good-bye to loved ones. Little Emily, Amy's daughter, has such a long road ahead of her as she begins a life without her mother, brother, and father. I cannot begin to fathom all that must be going through her little mind right now. She is going to need continued prayers and support to help her through this. So many of you prayer warriors prayed us through our dark days with Reed's journey, and now I beg you to do the same for little Emily Justice, as well as Amy's parents and sister, and the rest of the family. This tragedy is far-reaching with so many families affected.

Amy was always smiling. I don't recall ever seeing her without a smile on her face growing up. She was beautiful inside and out, and will leave such a hole in the lives of many.

Be thankful for time you have with your loved ones, and please remember the Beggs/McGill and Justice families in your prayers. Pray them through this tragedy as you all so faithfully prayed us through our dark days.

Love to all,
