Prayers please

A school family was in a fatal plane crash this afternoon, and I just found out.  We had Ben and Alison over for dinner tonight because they leave on Sunday to move to Florida.  I came upstairs and saw that both Andy and Matt had called me.  I knew it couldn't be good, but was never expecting this.  One of our families was flying home from San Diego, and the plane went down.  Mom was announced dead at the scene, and now the three kids and dad are in critical condition, but at different hospitals.  Please keep the family in your prayers as they are fighting for their lives, and then will have to figure out how to go on.  I love this family, and I am really struggling with this right now, and I know other staff members and school families will be as well.  Please keep our entire school, and school family in your prayers as well.  They are such an awesome family, and the mom was amazing.  It's hard to imagine that I won't see her next year, and the hard times those kids are going to have growing up without a mom.  Thank you all for your support, and prayers.  I really appreciate them, and know that their family will as well.

I just keep going back to my go to verse.

Isaiah 41:13
"For I am the Lord, your God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do NOT fear; I will help you."

All I can do is lift up my prayers to God, and know that he will be with that family.  At least I have the comfort in knowing that they are a family who fully believes and relies on Christ.  She will be missed, and I will make sure to keep you all updated.
