In Loving Memory of Isai Lazarus Torres

I want to thank the thousands of you who prayed for my friends Isai and Samantha and their precious little baby boy Isai. As many of you know their sweet blessing was born into heaven on August 29th. Please continue to pray for Isai and Samantha and both sides of their families.

Last week they held a memorial service for baby Isai.
Samantha and Isai said he looked just like his daddy!
Isai and Samantha are planning on going on the mission field in Africa. They announced at the memorial that the babies ashes were going to go with them to Africa in the next year or so. They want to build an orphanage once they arrive in Africa. Samantha announced that they are going to spread the ashes of the baby under the foundation of the orphanage.
Here is a picture of baby Isai right after Samantha delivered him.
I love Sam and Isai so much. My heart aches for their lost but rejoices with them that someday they will be reunited with their precious little boy. I told both of them the night of the memorial that my mom had two stillborn babies before me . . Chris and David. I told them I prayed to the Lord and asked Him to please introduce baby Isai to my brothers :-)
Please continue to lift them up in prayer!

You obviously love your friends very much. I am very glad to be able to call you a friend of mine, too. I pray these grieving parents find solace in the knowledge that their baby boy is with the Lord and they will be reunited with him someday.

Isai and Samantha remain in my prayers. What an awesome testament to little Isai to spread his ashes under the foundation of an orphanage. Praying for you as you support your friends.
