I know this is a very emtional day for these familes, but if someone could please post informaion on how to get to the Full Gospel Tabernacle for the services today.

just wanting to say that her name is Christy not Kristy and Virginia has taken great care of both Christy and David for 6 years.

Ms. Johnson:  Very well said.  It is a time to come together as family and as community to support the parents of these children but we should also RESPECT their privacy and allow them to grieve.  My hearts go out to all those affected by this tragedy but to the parents (all of them) and the child who made it out, unless we have been in their shoes there is no way to know the pain, the suffering, the loss that they are going through.

I still have a hard time imagining the horror for the dad, who tried to get back into them; the firefighters, who knew there was nothing they could do; the mother and child who escaped, who had to witness hell on earth and too all the friends and neighbors who have been affected by this. 

I can only find peace in knowing that God has 3 more beautiful angels up in Heaven looking down on all of us, protecting their parents and family, but playing in the streets and fields of heaven.

I’m Jonell, I was David’s first wife, and we have a daughter, Kayla Nelson. I would like to say to everyone to please keep this family in your prayers. Their mother, Virginia Nelson and their father David Nelson, were wonderful, loving & very nurturing parents. Their loss is too great for anyone to imagine. Please give all of family some privacy and room to greive as they try to take this tragedy day by day. They were very loved by their grandparents, Ray & Lil, their Aunts, Tina & Paula, and their uncle Terry and all their cousins and their sister Kayla and brother Dillon.

In memory of Christy and David:

The city is pure.
There’s nothing but happiness.
The spirit of Christ abounds everywhere.

How dearly you were loved.

Grandma sang,
And your mama knew,
The sun of love in both of you.

The warmth of your time.
The gift of your time.
The hope of your time.

And although we could not keep you here,

Grandma sings.

The city is pure.
There’s nothing but happiness.
The spirit of Christ abounds everywhere.

Your loved ones here will patiently wait,
For in Heaven, the course of time has its final embrace.

Grandma will be running, and your mama too.

I have had the grace of working with Mrs.Virginia.I came to know her children through her work and because her children went to Fruitdale School.My heart goes out to David and Virginia.They have suffered a great loss.When I learned about their tragedy I was overcome with sorrow.I could not image the great pain they are suffering right now.I pray the lord will take them under his wings and guide them through the days to follow. They are great parents and great people.Everyone at work loves you both and carry you in our prayers.

It is with many tears and great sorrow that I now write these words.I am little David & Christy’s uncle.I only come home once a year and never got a chance to really know these babies.My sister Candace and my blessed mother Ruby loves these children with all of their heart,and my tears are for them.My mother told me all she could do was strive to live the best life she could so that 1 day she could be with her babies.As I heard her crying through the phone we began to talk of Jesus,Heaven’s streets of gold,and all of our loved ones who have gone on b4 us. My grandparents,Aunt Della,Aunt Lizzy.Our recent loss Earnest who had a heart of gold and loved children.We took comfort in knowing Jesus gave Christy flowers never seen by human eyes.Praise God it will never decay!I took comfort in my Holy Bible,it’s words are truth and comfort to my soul. This nightmare hasn’t ended.What is life but death, death but life? Little David, Christy God is with you 4 all eternity. Amen. Love, Uncle Marvin

So, so very sad!
