Please help this Family in Need

An MBA family who just graduated at the same time as us is struggling at this time.  My friend, Alice gave birth to her first little girl after having two little boys ages 3 1/2 and 2.  Soon after coming home from the hospital, Alice felt sick and was admitted back into the hospital.  Morphine didn't seem to help the pain and with her blood pressure all over the place, they couldn't figure out what was going on.  Finally it was decided that she had strep A toxic shock which is an infection that got into the wrong place in her body and left her without brain function.  She passed away on Wednesday night.  Her husband is left with three very young children now and without his best friend.  I've struggled with the thought of what this would be like to go through personally.  The grief that must follow is too unbearable to think about.  We are so blessed to have the gospel of Jesus Christ to help us through this life.  Thank goodness we know we will see our loved ones again. 
Right now the family is in need of donations to help them get through the next little while.  If you feel you can give something please click on the link below.

Oh my goodness. That is heartbreaking. Those poor kids, and that poor husband. Man, I'm so sorry to hear about your friend. Even though I don't know them, I will pray for that young family to be able to pull through despite their loss.

I'm so sorry. My niece was killed almost 2 years ago and her husband was left with a 3yr old and a 4 month old. It has been so hard to see her husband go thru this. Thank goodness for the gospel and her family and his. I know many people are praying for this sweet family.
