Please pray...

Please pray for this family. My kids are sustaining me by their very presence through Hyatt's ordeal - I can't imagine the pain that John is going through.

Go hug those kids.

Troy,

I just read the article, said a prayer, and hugged my daughter. I'm praying for you and all who suffer...

I think God has a plan for you to make a positive difference in so many lives...

Hi Troy,

My father and his wife live in Dwight and know this family. It's just terrible. Thank you for posting it, we are all praying for healing through his unspeakable loss.

Please know we're still praying daily for your wife and family.

God bless,
The Corzine family

My heart goes out to this man who experienced anyone's biggest nightmare. I pray for his healing and peace.
I also pray for you, Troy, as your pain is also tremendous. Have faith in God and continue to rely on his will. His mercy is so big and there are no boundaries for his love. I firmly believe that Hyatt is with you and the girls even now as her love will always be around you.
A big hug for you and your girls!

It's so touching that you have space in your heart to care and pray for others, even when everything is so tough for you. Your girls have a wonderful, caring father.

Troy,

You've always been one to care and pray for others, regardless how large your own need for both may be.

The prayers for Hyatt, you, and the girls continue to outpour. I miss you all, and will be coming home to hug you all soon. Until then, my love to the Nolans. Always.

That is possibly the most heartbreaking story I have ever read. Just when you think you are having a bad day, something comes along to put your entire life in perspective.

Hi Troy,
Thank you for sharing John's tragedy and asking for prayer. He has no idea how many prayers will come his way for him and his departed family because of you and your compassionate heart. We also need to pray for the gal who was responsible for the accident. Praying for others somehow brings healing to ourselves too. You, Hyatt, your girls and family and your many needs remain in our prayers...Bob and Pat Geipel

Dear Troy:

We continue to keep you and "all" your family and children in our thoughts and prayers especially during the coming holidays. May God's peace and love comfort you as you go forward. God doesn't bring these sorrowful times on us but He is the one who will get us through them.

May the Blessed Virgin Mary cover you, Hyatt, your daughters, Sidney and Rebecca with her mantle of "Love and Compassion" for all times and the Saints and Angels protect and watch over you too!!

Love and Blessings,

Andi, Bill (and Kelly "with Love and Blessings" from above:)!!

Troy, I came across this recently, and hope that it provides some degree of peace & comfort. It's called the Fathers Love Letter (long, but well worth it).

Please know that I, and so many others continue to pray for Hyatt's miraculous recovery. Please also know that even though I've tried 3 separate times, unsuccessfully, to get to VA and see her, that I love her very much. Thank you for sharing on this blog. I know that seeing your faith has helped so many. And I'm another one of the ones whose decided to see a dr. for longstanding high blood pressure, and chest pains as a result of this. I, like you, thought those things happened to others. But my eyes have been opened, if it can happen to my dearest friend, it can happen to me. We love you Troy, and pray often. Please also tell your parents and Hyatt's parents that we're praying for peace and comfort for them as well.

I wept this morning after reading these recent updates...at the same time, feeling so encouraged in knowing that God's plans are greater than ours; Thankful for that, as he is All Powerful! I am praying on your family's behalf today and will continue. I don't know you but had prayer requests passed on from friends of your family. I am praying that God's peace, surpassing all understanding, will cover you today.
