No Words...

Hey guys...I'm writing tonight with a heavy heart. I need your prayers.

About a month ago, the 22 year old sister to one of my best friends contracted bacterial meningitis, and had to be sent to the hospital. The bacteria reacts different ways in different peoples bodies, in Noelle's, it totally shut down her lungs. She spent the last month on life support in a hospital in BC.

When Tasha's (my friend's) family found out what had happened, the flew out quickly to be with Noelle. The doctors told them it was very serious, but also gave them a lot of hope. Tasha's mom has been there with Noelle this entire time, and Tasha, her brother, and her dad have flown out multiple times for short periods.

This Saturday, my school soccer team was in a tournament, and during one of the breaks, some of the people in my class went and prayed for Noelle. Tasha told us that at this point, usually the person had begun to heal, or else the doctors would ask the family to consider taking their family member off life support. Neither was the case for Noelle, because she had already fought this far, and the doctors all had hope that she could eventually pull through. However, Tasha told us that the next morning she would be flying out to say goodbye, just in case.

Noelle passed away last night.

Please keep Tasha and her family in your prayers...as well as my class, and my team...a lot of people are hurting. It would be hugely appreciated!

We praise Him, because His compassions never fail. They are new every morning. Great is His faithfulness. But we hurt right now, deeply, for a friend and a sister. We will keep our eyes on You.
