Dear Dennis and Barbara,

We are so very sad and our hearts hurt with you and your entire extended family.
We know Molly is with Jesus, yet we know this is such a profound loss for you all.

Please know we are asking God to bring comfort and hope to each of you.

Jesus loves you,

Jim and Barbara Grunseth

Seven years ago my family took the same type of pictures. I recognize the heartbreak in your eyes and the smile given only for the camera as you try to drink in and capture every single minute you have with your precious daughter. I will pray for your hearts, since many will become like Job's friends to you as they try to make sense of their own sadness. There is a season for everything and this is a season to grieve. -Kim von Oeyen

As you go through this time of greiving and mourning, as hard as it may seem to us still here on this earth, rest in the knowledge that Molly is in the Saviours arms, in no pain, with no more needles and machines hooked to her. There is no doubt that Molly knew and felt the love from each and every family member that touched her short life, and as she looks down from the wonders of heaven, she can see how each of you will lean on the other for comfort through this time. What a reassurance we have knowing that Jesus is on our side, and that you can lean on his shoulder during this time. Supporting this ministry for the last 13 years of my married life, I feel as if you are family - please know that I grieve with each of you, and that my entire family is praying for your strength to get through these next few days, weeks, months and years, and for peace. We love you all, The Uber family

Thank you for opening up the hospital room and sharing your most personal intimate heartaches with us. When many would have valued their privacy, you have thrown open the doors and windows so that we, and the world, could see God faithfully loving His children. Thank you for allowing us to love you with tears and prayers. It has been our honor to know sweet little Molly through you and we can rejoice in looking forward to being introduced on the other side. Dennis, I hope to have a front row seat when you finish the 'Speck People' story for Molly. I know it will have a super duper ending! Warmly in Christ, Ann Bearden

I was told that the word 'casket' is a french word for 'jewel box'. As we lay our loved ones in their 'jewel box' we understand better how they make up the jewels in Jesus' crown! It hurts to part. I hear your sorrow as you allow your precious granddaughter to be received into Jesus' arms, for we, too, have lost three grandbabies before their time. As grandparents we grieve for our children and our grandchildren. I guess that's why God gives us grandparents, to help carry the burden which without Jesus we could never carry alone. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all of your family. May the peace of Christ guard your hearts and minds and carry you through this difficult time. With sympathy and prayers, Jill

Please know that I and my family are praying for you and your family. We are friends of Bill and Tracey Eyster - they asked us to pray for you during this time of heartbreaking grief - know that we are and we will continue to do so. May the God of all comfort wrap you in His loving arms! May He minister to you in unimaginable ways as you lean on Him and each other!

The only thing I can think of is the verse about Jesus crying when Lazarus had died. Jesus knew he was going to bring Lazarus back a live, but Jesus still wept. God knows your pain. I've cried with you too. Hugs to you all. No words I say can make life better, but I know in time God will do that for you all.

I'm sitting here grieving with you, though I don't know any of you, but the song by Babbie Mason, "Trust His Heart" keeps playing thru my mind. "God is too wise to be mistaken, God is too good to be unkind, so when you don't understand, when you don't know His plan,when you can't trace His hand, trust His heart." There is more to the song. Know that people are praying for you all and love you. Sue
