Prayers needed...

Some of you may have heard about the Phoenix Police Officer who was killed early Saturday morning in a fatal car accident while responding to a call. Of course this hits close to home for me and my family. Officer Shane Figueroa and his wife Melisha Pew Figueroa are both Mesa High School alumni and just had their first baby, a girl, about 3 months ago. Both Shane and Melisha come from law enforcment families with both of their fathers being police officers. As you may know or think, this is such a tramadic experience that I would never wish on anyone but the Lord had other plans for this family. My thoughts turn to Melisha each day as she is coping with the death of her sweet husband and trying to nurse her little baby girl. I know the Lord is aware of her circumstance and loves her and Shanes families very much. At the time of my brothers death, almost 9 yrs. ago, I never felt more love from the Savior or Heavenly Father than I have in my life. Please keep the Figueroas in your prayers this week as they are going through such heart ache, especially for Melisha and her daughter so that she can have the strength to eat and be able to nurse her baby. Time does heal our broken hearts but so does the prayers and strength of others.
