Many of you will remember a few months back when we advocated for a family for precious Susanna.
You guys were amazing. You fasted, you prayed, you spread the word.
A precious family stepped forward:
Kristin and Keith and their children
We rejoiced, crying tears of joy
and basically threw a virtual party!
Who could forget Susanna’s precious face?
Last week, I heard from Kristin, Susanna’s mom.
As they worked feverishly to bring Susanna and Will {the little treasure in the crib across from her whom she would anxiously look for when he left the room} home, they received the devastating and horrific news that Susanna is now in Jesus’ arms.
Words fail.
I have cried buckets of tears.
Susanna reminded me so much, in so many ways, of our Ruby.
I had secretly longed for the day when I could meet Susanna up close.
Understandably, Kristin and Keith and their children are grieving deeply. I asked her if it was okay to share this devastating news with you.
Would you please pray for them with me?
Also please pray that they can bring Will home in record time.
How Will must miss Susanna too!
The Lord is close to the brokenhearted
and saves those who are crushed in spirit.
Psalm 34:18
That sweet baby did her job here she got her little brother a family and now she's in the best place of all. I will always remember her sweet heart.
That is a sweet thought. That she helped Will find a family. I will be praying for Will as well as they family.
I too love your thought that Sweet Susanna helped Will to find his family. So terribly sorry for this amazing family!
Crying, praying, and hugging Annie a little tighter.
Tears, weeping for this sweet family! God be with them and wrap them in your arms and may Your Holy Spirit guide them and bring them comfort. Lord Jesus I ask for swiftness and joy in this wonderful family being able to bring Will home! Bring Will comfort as well as he has lost his best friend! Lord just be with this family and love on them like only YOU can!! In the mighty name of Jesus, our Comforter and our Healer, Amen
Praying here. Devastating news for her waiting family.
I am so sorry, so very very sorry. Thank you so much for being so faithful to advocate for these children. I will be praying for her mom, dad, brother and family. Blessings.
I'm so sad for this family and for Susanna that never knew the love of her mama and daddy. Praying for her family that must be devastated.
Oh, so close! So glad we knew her while we did. All these little angels help me keep my eye on where God wants me to be. Susanna was a true servant of God.
Oh Linny, I am so very, very sorry. Praying for sweet Will and the rest of Susanna's precious family.
My heart just breaks. Sweet baby. Prayers being said for her family.
I am so sorry 🙁
SO very sad. Prayers for them all.
Prayers for this family who longed to have Susanna in their arms. How very sad…
Tears! I was not expecting that. Oh my heart just breaks for them! I hope Susanna now knows that a family did truly love her.

You know KK, we have no idea really how much of earth God allows each to see when in heaven, but it is a beautiful thought that God has now pulled back the veil and given Susanna a glimpse of the precious family that fell in love with her and longed to hold her. I love that.
Praying with you! Sweet child.
I saw this go by on FB and I gasped and tears welled. There are no words to offer someone whose heart wanted to give this precious girl a family. But I can say that our God is faithful to His Word and prayers really do touch across the miles. I know she was prayed for deeply and she felt every prayer as His Holy Spirit did what they could not – touch her at that moment.
I will continue to pray for your whole family as you tarry to bring Will home!
I was so very sad when I read this news the other day. It is just heartbreaking. I can't wait until the day we dance with her in Heaven!
So incredibly sad and yet so happy for Suzanna. She is finally in a place where she is loved and all the hurt from the past is gone. Wish I could personally offer my condolences to her family.
I just read this…tears. That call is so fresh. I know we don't wish our children back from Jesus' arms, but I also know we will miss them here on earth…until we are with them. My heart is breaking for this family. Praying from the Ukraine…
