A Sad Day

I'm deeply saddened to leave this update for our neighbor, Jess. The following was posted on Jess' blog by her dad this morning:

Jessica, born May 15 1994, passed away at 1:30 this morning at University Of Iowa Hospitals. Services are pending at this time. Thank you all for the prayers and thoughts over the past 2 months. Jessica has went to be with her lord and that in itself is a great comfort to our family. She is free of pain, disease, and machines. She now enjoys the fruit of knowing our Lord Jesus Christ.

I also want to thank you all for your thoughts and prayers. It will be a tough time for our community, but with God's grace we will make it through.

Until next time...

Oh my! At least she is no longer in pain (I know that isn't of much comfort for her family though).
