I just saw on Facebook that our own dear sweet Portia was killed a car accident this afternoon. I am shocked and saddened by this news. I would ask for you all to be praying for her family. They have not given out any details.

I realize I am getting this news very long after the fact, but the sorrow is fresh for me. It's comforting to read everyone's compassionate responses. |

Tamara,
So glad you saw Allie and it's so good to hear your news. It helps give us proper perspective when we hear how the family is doing!
Thank you!

So glad you were able to see her and share with her. Portia is in my thoughts often which in turn reminds to pray for her family. So important to hold one up in our prayers. They do make a difference.

I wanted you all to know that I saw a Portia's daughter, Allie, today at our Bing-hen-ton city chicks farm girl meeting. She said the family is doing well, they have their times that are hard. I think it means a lot to them to know that they have a network of people that continue to pray for them. The Lord is very important to them.

Does anyone have her address so we could send cards to the family so they know she was very special to us? What a shock! I am very sad too. She was a great swap partner and so kind to me.

Prayers for the family of Portia. So sad to learn of the accident. She will be missed by the farmgirl family. Happy to know she was a Christian woman and has heaven as a assured place.

I know they were planning on moving to Ecuador, after visiting there last year. But heaven is Portia's home now!

I'm so sad about this, Portia was so sweet. I only knew her through swap, but she always brought such joy with her sweet gifts and encouraging words. So sad for her family.

Kristi, the flowers are beautiful. This is heartbreaking news. My heart hurts for the family and I pray they have strength and comfort in the coming days. I didn't know her as long as most of you have. I had only started knowing her through a postcard swap.

I was just overcome with sadness when I got this news today. I knew Portia from various swaps along the way and I had such respect for her. My heart goes out to her husband. She will certainly be missed in our sisterhood.
