Sweet Angel of Mayfield

Sweet angel of Mayfield lifted into the air. She was the sweetheart of a town…their prayer. She’s a representative of a dozen kids who will spend Christmas off the earthly grid. We look into her hopeful face… there was a moment where the world thought the twister might hand a bestowment to a town torn up. the light in babe’s eyes a twinkle in heaven… as earth weeps ‘goodbye.’ Reminders that life is short, sometimes very short… Many in Mayfield left by windswept transport. Sweet angel of Mayfield merely a representative of a town torn asunder with no preventative. Reminder to hug loved ones tight — give your hearts to God right now. 12/15/2021 74 dead including 12 children in Mayfield Kentucky

So many things have happened in the last couple of years to remind us to hug our babies, for tomorrow is not promised to any of us! You have done an excellent job of reminding us of this Kim

These are some of my favorite lines, Kim. After this heinous tragedy, I'd want to give you a huge warm hug. I hope you are safe and uninjured as a result of the natural calamity. I wish you the best of luck.

God certainly has His ways... of reminding us... I'd rather it not be so harsh... Let the angels stay up there... But the 'Big Picture' eludes me... ~ Counting my Blessings, gw

It is beyond imagination what happened to this town. I am praying about the storms tonight. Minnesota in the path. God please keep my family there safe.
