I live in a quiet, peaceful town - that is until yesterday when that peacefulness was stolen by cowards. A horrific home invasion left a prominent family shattered and three beautiful women dead. I pray that Jennifer and her beautiful daughters Hayley and Michaela have been welcomed into God's loving embrace and are at peace. I also pray that William, the loving husband and father and the sole survivor of this tragedy will find the strength to carry on without his beautiful family. Please keep the Petit family in your prayers.Give your family and friends that extra hug and kiss and let them know they are loved. Live each day to its fullest and do not let the "little" things keep you from truly enjoying this wonderful gift of life that we so often take for granted.
"Every spirit builds itself a house, and beyond its house a world, and beyond its world a heaven."
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Mind-boggling, isn't it???!!! Saw it on the news and still can't absorb this tragedy. I will keep them all in my thoughts and prayers.
ReplyDeleteI heard about this and watched quite a bit of the news stories. Just horrible...I have been thinking so much about the poor Father/husband. My heart aches for this good man. They were such a special family.
ReplyDeleteThey are in my prayers.
Hugs,
Sue
OH gosh. It could be any one of us too. That is such a sad wasteful shame. So sorry for your loss of them I know it hits close to home in more ways than one.
ReplyDeleteoh,my heart just hurts for you , your friends and community. I'm certainly keeping you all in my prayers. Hugs to you sweetie!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness... how awful...it's almost unfathomable to believe things like that happen, and then it's so close to home. I am so sorry... my prayers just went up for the man and for your community.
ReplyDeleteKarla, I was thinking about you when I saw this terrible thing had happened. I have been thinking of them every day since it happened. I feel so very, very badly for them, and for the father/husband who is now without his family. I have had nightmares about this since I heard of it, and have been more afraid in general, as I'm sure so many people have. I will certainly continue to keep the family in my thoughts. I hope you are doing okay considering how literally close to home this was for you.
