Easter Sunday, Sherry and her beloved husband Tom, took this last picture together. He is now safely in the arms of Jesus for all eternity.
Their beautiful home is no more, but thankfully all 13 children are alive although they suffered some injuries. I do not believe any injuries are life threatening. Please keep them in prayer, as I know you will, for comfort, peace, and provisions in the days ahead.
If you would like to give in a tangible way, you may give a donation at Providence Church's Tornado Relief Efforts.
We love you, Sherry! Hoping you feel our hugs and prayers!
i had no idea! i read this post in the barn hop but never connected it with the Lee family i have been praying for. thank you for letting me know.
ReplyDeleteOur hearts ache for them. Here in our Scottish island, some complain endlessly about the weather - I hope the horror of what we've seen in the past day will put our moderate climate into perspective.
ReplyDeleteWe are praying for Mrs Lee and her family, but cannot begin to imagine their pain. However, He who is able, will sustain them in ways we can not; and will comfort them in ways beyond our abilities.
Thinking of all who have been affected by this terrible storm.
Love, Anne x
I am soo sorry to hear this. My heart and prayers go out to this family!
ReplyDeleteoh my how terrible sad....I am so sorry to hear this..thoughts and prayers go out....
ReplyDeleteThere are simply no words.
ReplyDeleteWhat a joy it is to know that Tom is with the Lord now. And how it reminds us how quickly life can change from one day to the next. Our lives are a blink in time. Savor each moment until we are called home to Him.
Amy thank you for this information.I am devastated to know it was our Sherry's Tom who was killed. I have loved visiting her homestead thru blogland. She has been so gracious to answer questions and to share her life with us.
ReplyDeleteIn reading and visiting with her...I have been so encouraged in my own life...and have tried to live my life more simply. I know God holds this precious family in his arms.I will continue to pray for them.Thank you for letting us know.
Hugs Cindy from Rick-Rack and Gingham
I read about this tragedy yesterday, and have been committed to prayer for all the victims of this storm.
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine how hard this must be, I know that the LORD will strengthen this woman of God and uphold her family. What an Eternal blessing to know that this husband and father is with the LORD.
Thank you for sharing this.

I am so distraught about the horrible storms and loss of life thereof in this Country. We are in God's hands. If we believe in Him, we have to trust Him, it's always easy, when times are easy. My heart goes out to all these people who have lost so much, you are in my prayers ~ May God bless you and keep you.
ReplyDeleteLike many others I visited her but did not connect the last name with this wonderful family! Prayers going up for them all!
ReplyDeleteSo heartbreaking. Prayers are certainly being said for their beautiful family.
ReplyDeleteThere just aren't any words to say, this is heartbreaking. Sherry is such a sweet lady and I love visiting her blog. My heart goes out to this wonderful family and my prayers are with them. God Bless
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts are with their family and all families touched by this devistation.
ReplyDeleteMy heart hurts for the families who lost loved ones in the tornadoes this week, for the towns that have been demolished, and for the families who lost their homes. My prayers go out to the first responders who have been searching for survivors, and to the fire fighters in Texas. I learned this week that a million acres in Texas have now burned, and I am so thankful for those fire fighters that keep trying, though they must be exhausted.
ReplyDeleteMay they find comfort in prayer and the love of others. They are a beautiful family and their father has taught them well
ReplyDeleteI have been praying for her since I read about her husband on Robin's blog. I didn't realise that she was the author of that blog though - I've only found it very recently. My heart goes out to her & her family & the whole devestated community.
ReplyDeleteMy heart just breaks for this beautiful family. I saw the post on your blog the other day and I gasped when I saw it was the Lee family. I am just praying for peace and comfort!! Thank you for providing us with a way to help Amy:).

Amy,
ReplyDeleteThere are some new on-the-ground interviews of the Lee, Crawford and Boyd Families at http://www.bradrick.org/helpalfamilies/
Peter Bradrick has put together a relief team that is on the ground helping these families as well as a financial aid fund for each family.
