Karina Elin
Our friends Katherine and Chris welcomed twin girls
Karina Elin and Emma Linnea
in Yokohama, Japan.
March 2011
Massive earthquake hits Japan
The family is ok; then evacuates to Taiwan.
For unknown reasons, in Taiwan Karina stops breathing and is unable to be resuscitated. After a week in the NICU there, she passed away.
In her family, Karina was a daughter, grand-daughter, niece, and sister.
But her story made her even more.
She and her family were prayed for around the world.
Connections were made from Idaho, Texas, California, and many other places across the world to Taiwan.
Her life revealed that people are willing to do much for others during times of crisis when they share the love of God.
I was unable to attend a memorial service for Karina and with her parents permission this is my way of honoring her life and her family. When I look back at these blog entries documenting the life of my son, I want Karina to be remembered too.
