“Our Rocky, went to be with Jesus on the morning of January 7. Surrounded by our love, he left this world in the most peaceful way, at home and in our arms. After battling a respiratory virus the past week, it was clear to us that he was ready to go home. Though our hearts ache, we take comfort in knowing that he is now walking and talking for the first time, whole and free in Heaven.”

It was a complete honor to be his Mama and Dada the past two years. See you soon sweet Rocky. 💔🙏🏻💔”

Thank you so much for the way you have helped carry the Rule family through the past two years of his life and sharing the desire to love on them. They frequently speak of how they couldn’t have survived without their village.

The following words of truth have been standing out to Brock and Jessica as they process all of this:

“Therefore we do not lose heart, though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day.”
-2 Corinthians 4:16

“Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.”
-Luke 18:16 

Prayer is a huge way you can help the Rule family. Braxton also has the same sickness and although he his currently stable at home - it is important he stays that way. Please also pray over Brock and Jessica’s hearts as they mourn such a big part of their hearts. Although they are grateful for his merciful and peaceful passing - they are utterly exhausted and heartbroken. 

We will certainly keep you posted on other opportunities to help care for this family and on celebration of life details. Thank you again for all of the faith and love in this community.
