A sad passing

I just found out a couple of days ago that one of the kids at the orphanage in Guatemala passed away. Her name was Lydia and she was the 3-year-old who weighed 8 pounds when she came to the orphanage. She had a lot of disabilities, but still had the sweetest spirit.

The orphanage owner sent us some pictures of the funeral. I think it's so sweet that the pall bearers are other children from the orphanage.


The cemetary is above ground, so this is where the caskets are "buried".
