Here's what Wayne posted over at the DioM forum:
I have an urgent prayer request. My older brother
Brian and his wife Melissa just suffered a horrific
loss. Melissa was due to deliver her baby girl, and
somehow, in spite of technology available, the child
strangled on the umbilical cord and died. I don't know
any other details, but it is SO horribly sad.
Brian and Melissa have had HUGE struggles in the past,
but just over the last year, have been ON FIRE for the
Lord--absolute amazing life change, impacting my whole
extended family. This loss could knock them all out of
faith. I can't even bring myself to consider that God
has a plan in this, much less ever say it to anyone in
my family--esp. my brother Brian. I mean, I know God has
a plan. I know we're living in a fallen world where terrible
things happen. And I know that my baby niece is now in the
arms of our Savior. It's just hard.
Brian and Melissa, esp, and my whole family need God's
pressence, His assurance, his comfort...in a big way.
Thank you.
Then a little while later he posted this:
An update: I spoke with my brother--and let there be no doubt of the power of God. My brother is actually praising God through this...I was speechless and overwhelmed by Brian's faith. I'm not naive, I know dark times lie ahead for him and his family, but Brian said he knows his little girl is with Jesus and will never know the pain of this world.
Never alone.
