Dear FRiends,
Please send prayers up for my nephew and my family. His wife and beautiful 13 year old daughter were killed in the San Bruno fire yesterday. Mercifully he and his 15 year old daughter had left with my sister only a few minutes before the explosion but materially he has lost everything and I can only imagine the horror he is suffering at losing his beloved wife and daughter.
My family in the Bay Area is large and they will be doing everything humanly possible to care for them in these trying times but prayers are always welcome. I have turned to you all several times in the past and I consider all FReepers an extended family so please offer up some words of comfort and prayers for their souls.
Crapgame
Oh - what a terrible tragedy. I will pray for them all.
My prayers for you all.
Prayers are up for you and them.
May your family find peace, FRiend.
How sad. My prayers are with his family.
Prayers for your entire family
I will keep you, your nephew and the souls of his wife and baby in my prayers....
What a heart breaker for your entire family. I will remember all of you in my prayers.
What tragedy! Father God, I ask for Your peace to fill this man, his daughter and mother at their time of immense grief. And many blessings for all those who will care for him and his family during this time. In Jesus Name, I pray.
This is devastating to hear. I extend my deepest sympathies to you and your family. I have just said a prayer for your nephew that he will be comforted by our Lord. I just don’t know what else... only God can help this sort of a broken heart. I’m sure he’ll need all of his family in the days and month ahead. It’s just another sobering reminder that life is fragile and so precious... we are but a breath as scripture tells us.
Prayer for you, your family, your nephew, his surviving daughter and the extended families and friends and all who have lost loved ones in this tragedy.
R.I.P. Mother and daughter...
...love
How terribly sad. I read about these two victims in the news. Who would have known that the tragedy hits close to home. My condolences and prayers to your family.
May they be in God’s care 3 days before the devil knows they are gone.

Dear Lord, lend your strength and comfort to all the families who lost loved ones in this tragic event. I ask in the name of your son, Jesus Christ, Amen.
Of Father, Sweet and loving Jesus, our Hope and Love and Redemption.
Hear my humble prayer.
Father you know the pain of losing Your begotten Son.
Father, touch this man and his daughter
They wounded
They’re broken
They’re crushed
They’re feeling every emotion
a person can feel
Hold them in Your tender and pierced arms
May Your blood flow over their horror
May You rise them up to new heights
To see Your majesty
Your love
Your healing
Oh Father, only You
Always You,
Complete these shattered lives
In Jesus Name,
Amen
Prayers for your family.
So sorry to hear about this terrible tragedy. Know that your Freeper friends care and are praying for them and for you too, Crapgame.
I’m so sorry. Praying for you and your family. I can’t imagine the feelings of devastation.
I’m so sorry. Prayers up.
Cannot even begin to imagine the horror your nephew and his 15 year old daughter are going through this moment. Nothing can be said to comfort them. However, prayers will be said for them over and over. Our hearts are breaking for them and what a tragedy all around. We are so very sorry. Truly!
Oh my goodness. I saw video today of what was left of some of those homes. What a horrible sight.
I am so sorry for your great loss.
When I lost several relatives over the last 3 years, I found this scripture to be useful:
2 Corinthians 5:8 “Sorrow not, even as them who have no hope, for we know that to be absent from the body is to be present with The Lord.”
You and your entire family are in my prayers. I know it’s not much but...(((BIG HUG)))! (You looked like you needed one.)
You have my prayers as does everyone in this tragedy.......
I’m so sorry.
Prayers to you and your family.
I just can’t imagine.
Prayers for their eternal rest, and for the comfort and consolation of their loved ones.
I am so sorry for you and your family.
May God welcome the departed to heaven and may the survivors find comfort here on earth.
How incredibly sad. Prayers up.
prayers up, & I’ll remember youall at Mass tomorrow
My prayers to you and your family. This tragedy has touched so many in that San Bruno neighborhood. But for your nephew to lose his wife and daughter must be unbearable, as well as your sister losing a grandchild.
