My heart goes out to these families.
Wow, sorry to hear about these two missionaries who died from afixiation. Some 30 years ago while I was serving in the Bolivia-La Paz. We had a missionary die from afixiation also from a propane tank leak. I remember the trauma still to this day.
Such sad news....
So sorry, to hear of this tragedy. I wish peace and love to their families with such heartache in losing a child, no matter if 1- 100 in age ... !
We all know the dangers of living in the cold weather season, as to the gas problems regarding furnaces & carbon monoxide here in Utah. It is not known whether people are as informed as we are, overseas in this area or not, of maintaining safe housing for persons in their apartments or homes.
Let's hope no one has to undergo this tragedy, again, by education and awareness, and help these families find peace, in their losses.
please say a prayer & light a candle for them.
God comfort and bless the family and friends of these two young care givers!
There are simply no words...
God bless their families and fellow missionaries. One of them is my niece. Our hearts go out to them.
I'm so sorry for their families. The missions I've seen have tried very hard to find the safest living conditions for the missionaries. Sometimes your best efforts just aren't enough. I'm sorry to lose a couple of good young men out serving the Lord where they ought to be.
These young men are heroes to me. How many people today would make the ultimate sacrifice for opportunity to spread the news of the gospel? I pray that the Lord's blessings will be with all the affected family and friends.
Our thoughts and prayer go out to the families of these two missionaries.
God bless the families...
My son was an assistant to the President in this mission and just got the word; he's devastated. He worked with both missionaries and relates how wonderful they were and how dedicated they were to the work of the Lord. May the Lord's sweet Spirit comfort the families in their loss.
So sorry to hear. God bless their families at this time with the peace and comfort they need.
Our prayers and love go out to the parents, family and the mission president.
God bless.
A truly sad story, but repeated every couple of years. Almost 35 years ago, two months after returning from my mission, my favorite companion and his junior companion were similarly killed by asphyxiation. I still grieve when i think of it. I cannot believe that this continues to happen.
Dear Shirley and Dana,
I'm so devastated to hear about McKay. I have so many good memories of him on Heritage Tours and how he explained to me how his testimony had grown. He was also so much fun with a beautiful smile. My prayers will be with you. May you be blessed. I'm so sorry.
So sorry to hear of such a tragedy...our love and prayers go out to the families - may God be with them during this time of heartache, may they have peace and comfort at this time. God bless the Mission President and fellow Missionaries serving in this area, may peace and comfort be with them, and the lives of those who have been blessed to know them
This is such a sad thing to hear, my heart goes out to the family. I hope that they will find peace and know that death was peaceful to these two young men. They have a very important work to do on the other side and I do not doubt that they want their family to be happy and know that they are serving another mission. I also hope that the members and missionaries from their mission will find peace and comfort also.
As a mom with a son serving a mission in another country, my heart is breaking for these families. May our Heavenly Father pour out the blessings of comfort on these families and the missionaries in the Bucharest Mission.
