I'm requesting prayers for a family and for my daughter...

Our daughter, Madison, is in kindergarten. Last weekend one of her classmates was in a bicycle accident, not wearing a helmet. Every day, our daughter has been asking when she would be back in class. The entire classroom made posters for her. Last night, they took her off of life support and she passed away. This afternoon, school counselors will be going into my daughter's classroom to explain to the what happened.

First, this little girl's family needs prayers in this terrible time of loss!
Second, please keep our daughter in your prayers. This is something no 6 year old should ever have to experience.
Third, please keep us in your prayers as we try to get our daughter through this.
Fourth, there's a whole classroom of 5-6 year old children and an amazing young teacher who need all of our prayers!

I have 3 adult children, including a 22 year old son. When he was 5, he lost his best friend to a drunk driver. He was completely devastated. I never thought another of my children would have to go through anything similar.

Will do Michael, it is rough witnessing the death of a child, especially the little ones. I've seen it first hand with the passing of my best friends son.

Prayers being sent, when I was a bit older than your daughter one of the neighborhood girls had passed away, as a child dealing with the reality of death especially of someone their own age is difficult. Will be praying for wisdom and comfort for all those involved.
 
So sorry to hear. I will be in prayer for all your requests.
 
So far, Madison is doing as expected. She's had a couple break downs, yesterday evening. She understands what has happened and is very sad, obviously. We will continue talking with her and letting her know that she can talk with us, her older siblings, her teacher or the school counselor, if needed. We're encouraging her to talk about and remember the happy times she shared with her schoolmate.

I have an unspoken prayer request for my son Rev. He is having a tough time, but I know if he just keeps his faith and trust in the Lord he will be fine. Also, please pray for me. I am scheduled for shoulder surgery May 8 and I will not be able to use it at all for 6 weeks. Thank you!
 
Today, we took Madison to Marissa's memorial service. For a memorial service, it was beautiful. There was a special portion of the memorial dedicated to all the children in attendance. Madison took part in that, sharing her memories of Marissa. It was a heart wrenching experience but I believe it will help all to heal. I just wish more of the kids from their class would have been there. They would have all benefited from the experience, IMO. Later, everyone in attendance wrote notes on helium balloons and we all released them at once. The family asked me to photograph that portion and it was an honor to do so.

So sorry. My prayers have been sent. I to have a daughter in kindergarten.
 
Prayers being sent up for you and your family. Hope that she does hang on till you can get there and her passing is a peaceful. I work at a nursing home and have been with many over the past years at the end stages of life the few things I would encourage anyone to do is to talk to them, it is believed that hearing is one of the last senses to go and also to reassure her that it is okay to go and that her loved ones will be alright. I know how hard it can be and will be praying for comfort and strength for you and your family during this time.
