Strength, Power, and Comfort

I have a friend who was a little girl when we met. I was her babysitter and later her co-worker. I watched her grow from a sassy, little girl who cut her own hair and started a trend of spiked bangs, to a determined young woman, and now a mother whose selflessness is an example to many. Although I'm older than she is by quite a bit, she has taught me with her strength, faith, and example. I am amazed by her attitude and gracious spirit. You can meet her and read about her family's journey over the past months at:

Yesterday an angel visited her little family. He was only with them on earth a short time, but it doesn't take long for someone like him to change your life. There is power in prayer; please remember my friend in yours. Not just today, but in the days and weeks ahead. Times like these are difficult because while friends, neighbors, and family are pillars of strength during trying times, life resumes at its usual light speed and those coping are still left to the task of remembering how to function following loss.

Dear Quinn,
I am inspired and touched by your family's journey. Words are inadequate, but I wanted to say that I admire your courage, faith, and willingness to share this blessing with others. I am grateful for your testimony and your example. Each of you are in our closest thoughts and prayers, and you know that anything you need is but a request away. We love you.
