Our family has endured a tragic and heartbreaking loss
with the passing of my beloved husband and our children's father.
While our hearts are broken and we are trying
to navigate this unimaginable pain,
we are incredibly thankful
to share some hopeful news about our daughter.
She has had her breathing tube removed and is now breathing on her own.
We know we still have a very long road ahead of us physically,
emotionally, and mentally
as our daughter continues to recover
and we begin the difficult journey of mourning the loss of a
husband father and someone
so deeply loved we ask that you please continue to keep our family
in your thoughts and prayers pray
for our daughters continued healing and strength
and for comfort peace
and strength for all of us as we face the days months and years ahead
we are taking things one day at a time
and holding on to faith love and the support of those around
us. Thank you to everyone who has prayed for us,
reached out, and shown our family so much love
during this devastating time. We are truly grateful.
And from the Adrian family, the Adrian
family wanted to express a deep appreciation
for the overwhelming support and prayers that have
been showered upon them.
They can feel all of it and the love flows through their broken hearts.
They ask that you continue to pray for them in the days,
months, and years ahead.
