prayers and support needed for this family!

The Tierney Family is no stranger to pain. After a five year battle, they lost their son Kyle to cancer on March 27, 2008. He was seven. Kris Tierney was expecting another child in October but suffered a catasrophic stroke on September 6, 2008; they took the baby by emergency c-section. Baby Luke Kristopher was born about 8 weeks early with a hole in his lung. As of today, he is tube-free and doing well. As mom, the stroke has left her with no brain activity, and very little hope for survival. Pray for a miracle.

Many of have asked, What can I do?

There are three things friends and family are asking for:

1. PRAY, PRAY, PRAY

Keep the Tierney and Katzmark families in your prayers.

2. Give them TIME

Goal: $36,000 (this will help to cover medical expenses not covered, and house payments for one year). Rick will need to be away from work and has exhausted all of his time during Kyle's final days. Money donated will help give them the TIME they desperately need right now, without the fear of where the next house payment will come from. Any amount will help. Click HERE or send checks payable to "Tierney Fund", P.O. Box 9366, North St. Paul, MN 55109.

3. FORWARD this to everyone you know

May God bless you for your thoughts and prayers. May God bless you for your generosity and bless the Tierney and Katzmark families at this most difficult time. Questions? Contact Jason: jason@jasongorman.com.

Ok, I am crying here at work lifting them all up in prayer. I hope you don't mind, I completely plagarized your blog entry on this one. Thank you for letting us all know.

I pretty much copied my entry from an email I'd received so plagiarize away!

This is so sad. I will definitely be keeping them in my prayers. I can't even imagine all they've been through...

Sadly, Kris Tierney passed away this morning. Please continue to keep this family lifted up in prayer.
