This week has been the hardest week of my life. My very best friend, Amy, lost her sweet 2 year old to a tragic swingset incident. Pleaes join me in prayer for this precious family. I type this from Amy's house as she is finally sleeping. There are no words to comfort her, but the love of Jesus. I have never felt so helpless in my life! Amy and I are due with sweet baby girls 3 weeks apart! She is already a cm. dialated and 50% effaced. Please pray that baby stays put for now!
I read at Amy and Davey's wedding in front of the congregation, never did I ever think I would be speaking at their daughter's funeral service! Please pray for God to speak through me and for nothing but words of comfort and memories be shared.
Visitation for Ann Reese Grote is Friday from 6-8pm at Wolfe-Bayview Funeral Home is Daphne (27409 US HWY 98 Daphne, AL).
Service is on Saturday at Coastal Church (11101 County Road 64 in Daphne) at 10am with graveside following.
I have read several stories about this precious baby ... please don't think Im being rude when I ask what happened with the swingset to cause such a tragic loss as this. I ask because I am not just a mother but grandmother too. I want to be fully aware to protect my family. May the grace and comfort of Jesus surround you all on this journey of loss and grief.
ReplyDeleteI am very sorry for the loss of this beautiful family. I am a mother too and it breaks my heart the story of this precious baby. I do have a question, but please don't consider me rude or nosy, I would like to know the story of this tragic accident. I am a first time mom with a 4 month old.
ReplyDeleteCondolences and may God be with them!
I, too am a new mother so my heart is very heavy for this family. As a parent you do everything you can to keep your children safe. I would also like to know the story in hopes to protect my own child.
ReplyDeletethere are no words... I am so sorry for your loss... keep your faith.. the lord will pull you all through this.. <3 hugs from Norway
ReplyDeleteI am a mother to 3 little girls and this is truly heartbreaking! I can't imagine what this family is going through. I'm in tears right now. We are praying for Amy and her sweet family along with their new addition (and yours).

My thoughts are with all of you. When you have a moment, can you please explain the details of what happened to the rest of us parents? I am so afraid to take my 2 yr olds out now. Hang in there. There are just no words I can offer, it is so not fair.
ReplyDeleteLeighton my heart has been broken and prayers flowing for AMy and her family and all of you, her friends. Such a tragic loss and I know the memory of Anne Reese will never be forgotten. Continuing to pray
ReplyDeletePraying for everyone today and for the days to come. There are no words that can anyone can say to take the pain away. Nothing but the love of JESUS, like you said. May the Lord continue to be with Amy and Davey and all that were affected by this horrible tragedy. Fly high sweet angel!
ReplyDeleteI cried when I read this story. I have 3 grown and married children and 4 grandchildren including a baby girl born 10 days ago. I would also like to know what happened as I have been thinking about purchasing a swing set for my back yard. I cannot imagine losing one of my children or grandchildren.
