I had a child that rides our Church bus that passed away a few days ago. His name is Alex Romero and he was only 7 years of age. I will be preaching the funeral tomorrow. Please pray for his family.

Prayers for all involved Carl. We will ask that the family and friends of Alex shall find peace and solace knowing he is now in the loving arms of our great Father in Heaven.

Little Alex's graduation service to heaven went very good. We were able to be a blessing to his family. Thank you for your prayers.

When parents bury a child, the natural order of things - all things - are upset. Pray now for the parents who will need a steadying hand and greater understanding of themselves and their relationship with their God and each other as they enter the world of "The Bereaved Parent".

I know whereof I speak. BTW, "The Bereaved Parent" along with Rabbi Kushner's ."When Bad Things Happen to Good People" helped me understand my feelings when my young Patrick was killed on his way home from school - some 28 years ago
