Prayer Request

We have a huge prayer request for our friends and neighbors from Oxford, Janna and Richard. They had their baby, Alli, in June and she was 3 months early. Alli has been a fighter since the very beginning and they thought she was improving. She was moved to Children's hospital not too long ago and late last week began to take a turn for the worse. Matt and I, along with another couple from Oxford, had the opportunity to go to the hospital last night to see Alli. The doctors had told them that they didn't think there was anything else they could do. While we were there, the doctors called Janna and Richard in to tell them Alli may not make it through the night. The nurses were great and allowed all of us to go back to see Alli. It was so difficult to see her so sick and we all just began to cry. We prayed over her and knew God was in control of the situation. We got the news today that Alli passed away last night. Janna and Richard are amazing people with such a trust to know God will get the glory from this situation. God has great plans for this precious couple. Please pray for them as they heal from losing their child.
