Tragic. Absolutely tragic. How devastating for the family. My heart goes out to them. It's the last thing any parent ever wants to see happen in their lives with their own kids.

Oh man! That is truly gut wrenching news! Knowing how much of a family man Todd is, it is unimaginable the overwhelming pain he must be feeling right now. Of all tragedies this is truly devastating. May God give him and his wife the strength to survive this and come out whole.

Prayers offered up for you and your family.

So Sorry that this tragedy happened. His guilt will multiple every day because of this. It is insane torture. His little daughter.

[RavOnReaven]

Our heart and prayers to go up for The Heap Family. To loose a child at any age is tragic. But to loose one in the way your family has, I believe is the most tragic. We don't know why things happen as they do. We can only pray that in some small way that knowledge will come to you and give you peace. We lost our fifth child on Christmas Eve morning in 1978. I blamed myself because I wasn't home I was working overtime at work. I felt that it was my duty to sacrifice my time with the family to earn the money we needed .Everyone experiences their losses differently. We couldn't find peace. We were members of the Episcopal Church. But no peace. We started to attend a Spirit Filled Church we found peace. My fellow workers were so supportive, We were so young we didn't know how to show our appreciation.Our process took years. To this day, there are times when we are caught off guard and we relive the events of that Christmas Eve morning.And that will be 39 years ago this coming Christmas Eve morning. I pray that peace will come swiftly to Todd and Ashley and their other four children.The Lord says "Come unto Me All who are troubled and heavily burdened and I will give you rest." "Take My Yoke upon you and I will give you peace. Lay your sorrows upon Me and I will give you Joy unceasing." Our prayers are that God will lift this family and carry them through these difficult times. God says suffer not the little children, let them come unto ME. All of us are His Children. Todd and Ashley We pray that your child will RIP . I believe she is already home with the Lord.

A guy cutts a tree down and it lands on his three year old in same week. Nothing could be more horrible for a parents.

[drillem]

Such a good man. For this to happen to you and your family makes no sense. We know your heart. This tragedy defies all logic. May you find comfort during this time.

[OriolesMagicPlease]

I can't even begin to imagine the pain his family is feeling. My prayers are with them.
