ReplyDeletepraying for y'all. i'm am so sorry to hear of Leslie's passing. :(
ReplyDeleteMay you find comfort. So heartbreaking! God, give them a peace that passes understanding.
ReplyDeleteI saw Leslie about three months ago and she was so happy and excited about the babies. She was so much in LOVE with her husband and her kids. She loved her life and everyone in it. She will be missed. I know that she is singing as only she can and laughing and full of life at this time. She would not want anyone to be sad. She will be missed by everyone that knew her and knew of her. She was an Angel here on earth. We should all live as Leslie lived and always be ready to go. Because like Leslie we never know when it is our time to leave. I think if Leslie could leave one message for everyone, it would be to seek God first and live each day to the fullest. We will see her sweet face again someday. We will continue to pray for the family.
ReplyDeleteMay you allow God's arms to surround you with peace, love and comfort as you go through this trial.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry to hear of your loss on earth of beautiful Leslie and the twins. Praying that God's peace and comfort would envelop the whole family during this very difficult time.

I'm so sorry. Clearly, I don't always understand God's plan. We will trust that His plan is wise.
ReplyDeleteYou are in my prayers.
What sad news! I have been praying several times a day for Leslie. My heart just breaks for her family -- for Mark and the children, as well as Leslie's parents and her brother. I hope their many memories of her will give them strength. God bless and comfort them all.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry for your loss...there are a lot of people who care very much for all of you and have kept us, who have never met any of you, up to date asking for prayers multiple times a day on facebook. Your story has touched many many lives and know you will be with your babies and wife again because they are in heaven.
ReplyDeleteMy heart is just breaking. My prayers are with you all.
ReplyDeleteThoughts and prayers are with the entire family. She is unable to be with the family here on earth but able to be with her twins now.
ReplyDeleteThe right words will not come to me to express how Leslie's story has affected me. I know that Leslie has a home with our Heavenly Father and will live on forever with her babies by her side.
ReplyDeleteMy prayers are for Mark and the children that they will find a peace that only God can deliver.
May God place His loving hands on everyone who has been a part of Leslie's life.

I am so sorry. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
ReplyDeleteRead Leslie's story from beginning to end. (What a special person who put this all together for Leslie's family.) What a beautiful woman.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry for your losses. It is shocking for a young, healthy woman to have such a tragic birthing experience. I can't imagine the pain your family is going through at this time. My heart breaks for you all.
Sounds like there is another beautiful angel in heaven.

Father God...
ReplyDeleteI don't understand ... But You never told us we would always understand Your plans... My heart grieves for this husband who has now list two beautiful wives.... For these children who have now lost two mothers... I ask You Father to wrap them up in You... That You show them mercy and grace beyond measure... I pray that the Holy Spirit would be made alive in their hearts... That You, the Great Comforter would bring peace...
Through tears I praise You Lord... Because you heard the cries of hundreds of Your children asking for healing... And You gave Leslie ultimate healing... It may not be the healing we wanted... Because we want her here with us... But we understand that she isn't grieving the loss of her babies... That she us with her perfect children... In a perfect body... Because Jesus makes all things new and perfect through Him...
Be with this family... This group of friends who will grasp at understanding and deal with the weight of grief...
I ask you these things in the precious name if Jesus...
Amen
Love, hugs, prayers and tears for all of you!!!

Even though I do not know you, my heart is breaking. Someone mentioned this blog on another blog I follow so I read the blog from the beginning. I have prayed many times daily for all of you, but especially a full recovery for Leslie. Her beauty and smile were amazing. Please know that there are many people praying for your family. I am praying even more now because I do know what you are going through. I lost my sister almost 3 years ago to breast cancer. She left behing a husband and 2 children.
ReplyDeleteMy heart aches with you, my thoughts are with you, my prayers go out to all of you! May the love and memories of Leslie comfort you in the days ahead! She touched so many lives and she will not be forgotten! Her spirit will live on in everyone who knew her!
ReplyDeleteMay God watch over those who loved her and bring them peace. You are in my prayers.
ReplyDeleteSo sad, how can this happen? I pray for her family and friends.
ReplyDeleteThere are no words I can offer, I'm so incredibly sorry for all your family has lost. Sending prayers and thoughts that you are surrounded by love and support to carry you during this awful time.
ReplyDeleteI am full of grief for this sweet family... I will pray fervently for their children to know that God loves them dearly and will never leave them....

ReplyDeleteToday is such a bitter~sweet day... After praying our hearts out day and night for so long, We lost Leslie, and our hearts are breaking... Yet I feel peace knowing Leslie is now with Jesus and with her precious babies...
ReplyDeleteGod has assembled many mighty prayer warriors here for Leslie, I was wondering if this site should stay open in Leslie's name... where we can continue to come and pray for one another.... I have never seen anything like this before... Maybe God has gathered us all together for times like this... where we can get together and pray... I know I prayed day and night for Leslie... her story touched me so much, and I was overcome with such concern and love for her that I had to pray for her and I didn't even know her... I am sure there are thousands more people who felt the same thing, God brought us together, and I am praying he keeps us together...
I will still be praying for Mark and the family! ♥ ♥ ♥
Love and hugs...

I pray we stay together ♥

AMEN!

ReplyDeleteI will be praying for strenth to get through this and God to place his hands upon your family. There aren't really words. I am so sorry.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry for your loss! My prayers are with you and your family at this time.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry to hear about this earthly loss as she now resides eternally in heaven. My heart is especially tender as God just lifted my own mother in love to be with Him in heaven as well. My mom is very outgoing and I hope that she was on the welcoming committee of people who were at heaven's gates waiting to greet the babies and Leslie. I continue to pray for her, her family, and all of those who mourn her passing. May the peace of heaven be intimately related to you all.

ReplyDeleteThis situation has gripped me and led me to prayer often over the past week and a half. I am so terribly sorry for your loss. Thankfully, none of us has to live in this broken world forever. May God be with you and give your family peace.
ReplyDeleteWow. My heart goes out to Mark. The world must love and trust you so, so much in order to have given you the gift of being with these wonderful women and babies before they went on. Families are forever. I'm so sorry.
ReplyDeleteI'm so very sorry for your loss. We are praying for you everyday.
ReplyDeleteI don't have the words to say.....my heart is broken for Mark, the children, and Leslie's family. I pray for God to wrap them in His loving arms of comfort today and in the days to come. I am so glad I had the privilege to know Leslie and experience a piece of the joy she brought to every life she touched. She is rejoicing in heaven with her precious babies and singing in the Heavenly choir.....

My prayers and thoughts are with you Mark and the children. I also did not know your beautiful wife but found your blog on a mom's website.

ReplyDeleteI don't pray. I'm not usually on board with that. But I saw this story on a friend's FB, and I did. I prayed very hard. I didn't get what I prayed for, but I did get a strange comfort...and maybe a bit of belief...instead. She's is okay. And you will see her again. Thank you Leslie, for showing me that; you're forever in my heart.
ReplyDeleteMy heart breaks for your family! I'm so sorry for your loss! Praying for your family in Minnesota.

My deepest condolences to Leslie's family and friends.

Praying for all of the immediate family, extended family, and friends of Leslie. What a legacy this woman of faith has left and what a glorious reunion will take place in heaven in the future.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry for your loss. I will keep you all in my prayers.
ReplyDeleteI am so heartbroken to hear this news. Leslie really touched my life even though I have not met her. Now she is with her sweet babies in Heaven.
ReplyDeleteThere are no words...God bless you and comfort you and your family.
ReplyDeleteIt is better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all. Loving Leslie whether we personally knew her or not, has made us stronger in our faith. Let her life be a testament of faith, love, and joy! I will continue to pray for her entire family and mostly for her children. It seems God gave them a wonderful earthly father. Thank you for sharing your story with the world and allowing us to pray over your family...it is and will continue to be a great honor! God will heal your hearts. Rejoice in knowing Leslie is with her heavenly King and has her precious babies in her arms.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry for your loss. I do not know Leslie or her family, but she looks like an "Angel" in all of her pictures and it sounds like she was one in personality as well. I am very appreciative of this blog. For in life it sounds like she touched several lives but with her tragic exit from this World, she has made an impact as well. I pray that God provides an incredible amount of strength and comfort at this time for the entire family..her husband and those beautiful children as well as her mom/dad and all of the others. For I am a Mom and cannot imagine the incredible loss her mom and others must be feeling. God bless her entire family!
ReplyDeleteMy prayers and thoughts go out to this entire family. I have no words to express my heart ache for you, my deepest sympathy,
ReplyDeleteSarah (via Kelly's Korner)
I am so saddened to hear of your losses. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
ReplyDeleteI read about this news on another blog, and wanted to come and join others offer my thoughts and prayers for you ... I am so sorry for this loss of this beautiful angel and her two babies, and I hope that you find some comfort in the love of those who are surrounding you right now.
ReplyDeleteMany thoughts and condolences to the family in this time... how unbelievably terrible. I hope the family can somehow find peace and comfort.
ReplyDeleteNo words or thoughts. God be with you in the days ahead. So sorry for your pain.
ReplyDeleteThose poor kids and poor husband. First they lost their biological mom and his wife, and now they lost her. This is such a sad story, we were all hoping for a full recovery.
ReplyDeleteGod bless you Leslie and family...
I'm so sorry for your loss. Your family is in my prayers!!! The pictures are amazing....especially the second one. :(
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry for your loss of this precious lady. May God comfort you all in the days ahead.
ReplyDeleteso sorry,praying for you and your family.We pray the Lord gives you the peace that only He can.
ReplyDeleteLifting you up in prayer.
ReplyDeleteI'm so very sad to hear about the loss of your dear Leslie...may she rest in peace.
ReplyDeleteMay god comfort you all during this most difficult time.
My heart just breaks for you! My prayers are with you all! I'm so thankful that she is home with her Savior and her babies!
ReplyDeleteI know that no one can even begin to imagine the loss you have incurred, especially 3 losses in such a short amount of time. I just pray that the lord can give you some peace and try to help and heal your hearts. My heart goes out to her husband, I hope he is being able to cope with this traumatic loss. It saddens me that someone who just wanted to be a mother, had to go through so much just to have it end this way. That is somewhat how I felt when my husband and I lost our first daughter, Peyton, to SIDS at a month old. I felt like I went through all that just to lose her?? How could that happen? But I did and still do treasure every moment that I had with her. I know it may be hard but definitely remember the good times! Again my thoughts and prayers are with you all!
ReplyDeleteSo so sorry to hear of the loss of your girl. We are all just heartbroken at this news. There are no words that could capture the sadness we are feeling over this. We just leave you all in God's tender loving hands, knowing that he is merciful and wise beyond all of our earthly understandings. {{HUGS}}
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
ReplyDeleteHeard the sad news tonight at practice and my eyes just filled with tears.....my heart and prayers go out to Mark and all the precious kids. For Leslies family too......it is hard to understand why this happens and all we can do is trust in the Lord and I prayer he keeps his arms around all of you and gets you thru this one day at a time......deepest sympathy.The McIntire Family
ReplyDeleteI have no words. Just so, so sorry for your enormous loss. Its obvious, even just from this blog what a beautiful, incredible spirit Leslie had.
ReplyDeleteMy heart is broken to hear of this...she is so beautiful...may her & the twins rest in peace...your family will always be in my thoughts & prayers
ReplyDeleteMy heart is so heavy for your family! I have been praying for you since the day I found out about Leslie and I will continue to pray for you as the days,weeks,months, years to come!
ReplyDeleteI am so, so sorry for your huge loss!!! Please know your family will continue to be in my prayers!!!
ReplyDeleteHugs to all!!!
My heart is breaking for your family. I am so, so sorry. I will continually cover you in prayer. I am just so sorry. May you find rest in His presence!
ReplyDeleteI just can't find the words to express how truly sorry I am for the loss of Leslie and her sweet babies. I just lost my twin babies at 19 weeks to months ago. I know the pain of loosing your babies, but I can't imagine the pain of loosing them and the momma altogether. I pray God brings you peace, strength, love, and compassion for one another. Stay close to the family. Let them know how much they are loved.
ReplyDeleteDear Lord~
Please be with this family as they have suffered such a tremendous loss. Lord guide them, give them strength and peace. Comfort them Lord. But your loving arms around them. But your angels by their sides and let them know they are not alone.
I don't know what to say, but I do know the scriptures. I hope these can bring you comfort and peace. The Lord bless you all. My sincerest condolences.
But we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers and sisters, about those who have died, so that you may not grieve as others do who have no hope. For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with him those who have died. For this we declare to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will by no means precede those who have died. For the Lord himself, with a cry of command, with the archangel’s call and with the sound of God’s trumpet, will descend from heaven, and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up in the clouds together with them to meet the Lord in the air; and so we will be with the Lord for ever. Therefore encourage one another with these words.
1 Thessalonians 4:13-18
"Peace I leave with you; My peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid." - Jesus (Jhn 14:27)
I don't know you..but just happened upon this story on Facebook. I'm so heartbroken. I can't imagine what your family is going through but you have positive thoughts coming from me & my family.
ReplyDeleteI am so terribly, terribly sorry for the loss your family has endured. I lost a baby girl in 2004 and I was deathly ill myself, but fortunately survived my own illness. My heart just aches for Mark and all who loved Leslie so much. Rest in peace, Leslie, Marisa and Mac.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry at the loss of your beautiful wife and your precious babes. I wish you peace.
ReplyDeleteThe Best
ReplyDeleteGod saw her getting tired
And a cure was not to be.
So he put his arms around her
And whispered "Come to Me"
With tearful eyes we watched you,
And saw you pass away.
Although we loved you dearly,
We could not make you stay,
A golden heart stopped beating,
Hard working hand at rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us,
He only takes the best.
My thoughts and Prayers are with you and your family at this time.
I'm so incredibly sorry for your family's loss. Words cannot even express. I just recently learned of this story and it broke my heart.

My prayers are with your family.

Please surround them with love and support and ways to share their grief with others. And lastly, Lord, I pray that the lives of these beautiful babies and this beautiful woman would be celebrated, and that this time of loss and grief would be used for your glory and to draw people close to you. In your Son's precious and holy name I pray. Amen.
