Asking for prayers

[mrsbert]

One of my DH's fellow brothers of our local police department had to be given the saddest news yesterday morning. As this soldier, Henry, fights for our freedom overseas, he finds out that his 7 y.o. baby girl is killed by a stray bullet in New Orleans. As a parent, I can't imagine the long trip back to the States knowing it's not a happy visit. Please pray for his family.

And because of the Saints victory and Tropical Storm Ida, the news coverage was insignificant. CrimeStoppers is looking for any leads to this case.

Prayers to the soldier and the rest of his family.

Prayers for this family. What a tragedy. Was this the little girl who was killed when bullets were shot through her apartment complex walls? She was sleeping on the living room floor on an air mattress and was hit in the neck. This made our news today.

Prayers for all of her friends and family. Prayers for safe travels for this father. I can't imagine how long his journey back home will be.

 

[Where'sPiglet?]

I saw this story on the news. It is so sad.

 

[MaryAnnDVC]

That is so heartbreaking and tragic. Prayers for the whole family. I can't imagine that poor father having to come home to that.

Thanks everyone. This is the same story. The father was picked up from the airport today by about 10 of his police buddies. He's so devestated. To be fighting for our country and not here to protect his little girl.

So very tragic! I hope the culprit is caught and punished!
Prayers for the family...

AND
another opportunity to again say THANK YOU to ALL our military (and their families) that are so far from home, preserving this great country we call HOME!
