I am so sorry about his death, but grateful that the tree gave his family time with him. God bless you and all his family.Marjorienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5845195637603537263.post-55478749996493188162013-01-02T13:01:47.861-06:002013-01-02T13:01:47.861-06:00Hi Kate,

My husband graduated from U of M and I lived in Memphis with him for a short time. I just lost my 19 year-old brother on December 14th. He fell off a 100ft cliff and lived for a week. A little 8ft. tree broke his fall, saving him from instant death. We call this the tree of life! Because of the tree, he was able to donate his organs to 50 or more people and give other families Christmas miracles. Although we do not know why these things happen, we just have to put our faith and God and trust in HIS plan. I will continue to pray for strength for Lucy and your entire family. God bless!Brittanynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5845195637603537263.post-43919300976503600592013-01-02T10:55:01.110-06:002013-01-02T10:55:01.110-06:00Hi Kate, thank you as always for being so honest a...Hi Kate, thank you as always for being so honest and open. I so appreciate your testimony - through your words I do believe lives are changed for the better. I just wish Lucy and your family did not have to experience the battle those words stem from. <br /><br />2011 and 2012 were hard years for me and my family. I care for my mother - Alzheimer's is a hateful disease of a different sort. We had other valleys, and those who were before us left us a stepping stool and water. i have out loud conversations with God all the time -crying out to Him, asking for guidance, asking for forgiveness for my mess-ups.<br /><br />God has a plan, we are part of something bigger and better - I know we wish sometimes we knew the whys, the wheres and the whens - but I cling to the fact that victory is already won. <br /><br />You are awesome and I appreciate your heart and your testimony.desperateforavacationnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5845195637603537263.post-54210457794084145312013-01-02T08:38:39.341-06:002013-01-02T08:38:39.341-06:00wow...what perspective that only comes through wal...wow...what perspective that only comes through walking through the valley. i love you honesty, your raw transparency and most of all your faith. praying that 2013 is a year of true hope and healing for your family.carrienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5845195637603537263.post-14399137086989848962013-01-02T08:25:42.042-06:002013-01-02T08:25:42.042-06:00One answer to the question "Why?" is fou...One answer to the question "Why?" is found in II Cor. 1:3,4.

Kate, there were times when I would read all you and Eric were going through and all I wanted to do was hop on a plane, fly where you were, take you in my arms and comfort you but I also knew no amount of hugs or love could take that profound sorrow away and Kate, it broke my heart. Today, I cried HAPPY tears and thanked God for your blessings....your Lucy...your Peace and Happiness. I know at times you felt so very alone but we were all with you and will continue to be with you. HAPPY NEW YEARS My Friend!!! Please give those babies a hug from me!!!Jennnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5845195637603537263.post-9739822130783512452013-01-01T23:01:26.106-06:002013-01-01T23:01:26.106-06:00Hi Kate,

I have gone through a lot and I have asked these same questions and I have come to the conclusion that I am very thankful for the life Father has given me even though it isn't the way I wanted it to go. My children, my husband and I are believers in Jesus and we all have a relationship with Him so I know where we are going. I think the worst thing ever would be knowing that one of my babies wasn't walking with the Lord, that would kill me. <br /><br /><br />You have a beautiful family and you all walk with Jesus and that is the best thing ever. <br /><br /><br />I'm always praying for Lucy and your family. I just know you will be blessed in 2013.Child of Godnoreply@blogger.com
