Little Shaelynn is in Heaven

It's hard to know what to write about a little girl we've been praying for since meeting her at Family Camp this summer. I've known her extended family for longer. Shaelynn was two, and she died yesterday morning after living with a brain tumor for the past year. From seeing her for those few days at camp and reading what her mom (and occasionally her aunts) wrote about her, she was a real sweetie. I'm so sad for her family, and I know I can't even begin to know what they are feeling. What I keep coming back to is that I'm so glad they know the Lord; I just can't imagine coping with something like this without Him. There are so many things that I know in my head that can be a comfort, but I'm still so sad . . .
