Brady Michael Kooienga

Please pray for our family as we are mourning the loss of Brady Michael Kooienga. My sister, Lynnette and her husband, Craig, were expecting Brady to be born April 22, 2009. However, they had a routine OB appointment on Monday and the Ultrasound Tech was unable to detect Brady's heartbeat. Lynnette was induced Monday night and Brady was delivered stillborn on Wednesday, December 31, 2009. Lynnette carried Brady for 24 weeks and we were all very attached to him. We treasure the time we got to spend holding him on Wednesday. He is a beautiful little boy. We don't know why God chose to take him from us and are extremely heartbroken. We look very forward to the day when we can be with him again and would appreciate prayers during this difficult time.

No words can say how sorry we are to hear about your loss. Please let us know if there is anything we can do! Until then we will be thinking of you and your family and sending all of our prayers your way. I don't understand any of it either. But I do believe that God will be with you every step of the way!
