Our little niece Rachel and nephew Jimmy fell into a pool and drowned on Saturday. They were able to resuciate Jimmy but Rachel had been without air for too long. Saturday was also the one year anniversary of the fatal plane crash taking Nate's uncle Lansing and cousin Dallin. Our families are taking it very hard. In the mist of such a tragedy, it is a comfort to know that Rachel will be welcomed warmly by family in heaven and that we will see them all again. It was so great that we were able to get a picture of Gabriel with his big cousin just a month or two before. He won't remember her, but we can show him the picture and he can see her holding him. She was so sweet when he was in her lap and kept calling him Baby Gabey and talking to him. It is a tender mercy that Jimmy was not taken as well. Our cousin Marie wrote a wonderful post about Rachel and this "refiners fire". Please pray for our brother and sister in law Ben and Anya.

Oh my goodness!! Some people are asked to bare such hard things in life! She is an adorable little girl that will surely be missed by all who knew her. I hope you all feel the comfort of a loving Heavenly Father at this time. A Loving Heavenly Father and support from loving family members is the only way to get through something like this. May you all feel peace.
I am so sorry. I can't imagine what you guys are going through now. We lived by Ben and Anya when they had Rachel. Is there anyway I can get an address for them from you? If you could email it to me, that would be helpful. emilydoll@hotmail.com. I know this is extrememly hard for extended family too. You guys hold on tight. We'll be praying for all of you.
