Chad, This is the first time that I have been reading your blog and had to stop and say a few words here. Though I just found out about your loss, the pain will still be deep and real. I sympathize with you now. The pain for Chandel and I is still part of our lives but time and healing have allowed for hope in God and with God's plan. Take comfort in His promises and that He loves and cares for us more than we could feel. God's love surpasses what pain we feel though life and death. Peace and blessings.

This is all just so hard to imagine, I can't believe it's reality. If I feel that way, I cannot imagine what you all are going through. God is so present in all of this, it's undeniable. To watch you and your family face this loss, and to see how many people, friends, family, complete strangers, are touched, has been inspiring and a huge eye opener. I was brought to a passage in Malachi through the past few weeks, and I found it to be so real, and alive right now: '…But for you who revere my name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in it's wings…' Please know that there are so many thinking of you, praying for you, and loving you… healing will come… Much love to you, Janna, Chris, Stan, Lori, and Lois

Dear Chad. God is so good to us. Only He has the answers to our questions,only He is the Balm of Gilead for us,it's all about Him in the end. Praise Him for making a way for us be with Him in the end. His love is so extravagent,so over the top,so full and running over,I have not the words to describe what I sense of His love. I know that Jayda has understanding now that we don't have, we can only grasp at it and try to understand it. Bless you, Chad. You are very good soil and I can see that the seed planted in you is now coming to fruition…songs,word,actions,thoughts,dreams,music and so much more will be harvested from your life. Blessing and much love………Irene

What can be said at this time? Everything that comes to mind seems trite and cliche. When I worked at Samaritan's Purse there was a friend of Jayda's that worked there, and we prayed for Jayda on a regular basis. I can only assume that since God did not heal her, her death will bring more glory to His name than her life would have. But I know that does nothing for the pain.

Words cannot express the feelings in our hearts at this time for you all. As I read your words Chad I realized that today your sister is dancing on the streets of gold with Brent's Mom and Dad. It is so good to know that those that go on before us are not only in our past (Memories) but they are so much in our future. Thank you for sharing your heart so freely. Love you all so very much
