I have a casual friend here. She was probably my first friend here. She home schools and has four kids roughly the same age as mine. Our oldest daughters get along really well. She was 36 weeks pregnant with twin boys on Thursday when she got up to use the restroom and her water broke. She called for her husband and as he walked into the bathroom she collapsed into his arms dead from amniotic fluid embolism, an extremely very rare condition that is fatal nearly every time. They called an ambulance and by the time they could get the boys out one was already dead from lack of oxygen and the other one will be removed from life support this afternoon. Her husband is left with a 13 year old daughter, and 9, 7, and 2 year old boys. They are the Boone family. Please pray for them.
It seemed like an appropriate day to share pictures of my blessings. And now we will go to church, we will praise the God who gives and takes away and has a beautiful plan for even the most horrible things. He is good. My friend loved and lived for Him and loved her children and husband and lived a life of joy here on earth. And now is at home with the Lord, participating in a worship service none of us can fathom.

We will be praying for the Boone's- I can't imagine that kind of loss. I'm so grateful that God is always in control and that we can trust Him, especially in the face of such tragedy.

I'm so sorry for your loss Lindsey. I can hardly imagine the pain her family is in but I know how hard it is to lose a close friend. I grieved so hard for Sis Burpo. You don't get someone that truly understands your confidences. I will remember the family in my prayers but I will remember you also. Love so much Nannie

I cannot imagine the heartbreak the Boone family and friends feel. Praying that the peace of God will uphold and comfort.
