Sad News
My heart is broken right now. Jessie was taken off life support and has died. Colleen and Trent came home around 6:00, and told the kids. Isabel fell apart. She was full of questions, and just cried for almost 20 minutes. I was crying at this point. Colleen told me that Toby signed for Jessie to be an organ donor. Lincoln didn't comprehend the news, and just wanted to play with Trent. Frankie started crying when Izzy was crying.
Colleen made arrangement for Izzy's piano teacher to come pick up the kids in the morning. Trent and her husband served on the Deacon board at church together. They have a little girl Izzy's age, and a boy Lincoln's age. Knowing she'd get to spend the day playing with her friend cheered Izzy up. So, I'll go to the zoo, and that way I'll be available to help Colleen with any of the kids during the week with the visitation and funeral.
Please, please pray for Toby, and baby Hunter right now. Hunter is only 7 weeks old. Also, pray for her parents, and all of Trent's family. Trent has four brothers, and a sister, as well as 9 nieces and nephews. Everyone is very close.
Hug your family as often as you can. You never know when the Lord will choose to take someone you love. I learned that when my brothers went to heaven.
Love,

Trish....I am sorry sorry. My heart just aches for all of you.
I will continue to keep Toby and baby Hunter in my prayers. I will also keep the rest of the family and you in my prayers as well.
This is just so tragic. You are right we never know when it is our time to go.
This will be a very difficult time. May God wrap his loving arms around each of you and give you comfort and peace.
God Bless.
Love and many hugs....connie d
Trish,
My heart breaks for the families and others whose lives were touched by this young woman. . . We just never know and this is just another sad reminder of how we should not squander our days here, because they are all numbered and we don't know what that number is. . . prayers for the family, time and supporting one another is what will heal, but being in the grieving process myself, I know that sometimes that is of little comfort. . .
With loving thoughts, Laureen
My Mantra is that I do not determine my success by the number hanging in my closet, nor will I let the scale determine that success either. . . It is through trial and error I will continue to grow and succeed. . . Laureen
