From a recent comment....

I wanted to share this comment because I'm afraid it might have gotten lost. It's a recent comment but it's on an older post. It's another eye witness to Matt and Kari's lives who shares her thoughts.

"I thank the Lord above that He, alone, is in control. I am saddened, broken-hearted and truly amazed that so many here choose to comment and present opinions anonymously.

I was a Youth and Music Minister at Williams Creek Baptist Church while Matt was Pastor. It was during that time that Kassidy, their second born, died. Honestly, I have tried to sit the fence on this one, to let God take care of it all. I care deeply for Matt and Kari and their girls. But this is what I know... After watching the pure and complete agony of losing a child, Kari would not and could not take her own life. It was absolute torture to WATCH her mourn for her daughter. I cannot even begin to imagine what torture it was for her to let go of Kassidy and let God take care of her. But here's the kicker... She did it. She knew that Kassidy was finally in a place where she was free to be all God created her to be without sickness and pain. Kari got there. She reached that point that no mother should have to endure.Conversely, Matt never seemed to let himself feel the pain of that loss. He was back to preaching immediately. A sign of strenth and resolve? I think not. More like a route to escape. A way out. A chance to run from reality and never truly come to terms with the loss of a child-- an innocent victim in a tragically lost world.

Do I think Matt killed Kari? I think that Matt was cheating on his wife and wanted to get out of his marriage without scarring his reputation or losing custody of his daughters. That's what I think.I pray that our Lord will guide my heart and my mind as well as all those who hold Matt's fate in their hands. I also pray that those who have opinions to state and thoughts to share will do so pubically and without shame of retribution. Peace to you all."

I am very worried about Kari's daughters. Many people do not think they are safe.

Anyone that knows Matt's parents KNOW that the girls are very safe!! I have witnessed the love and support they give the girls. So, I wouldn't go where you don't know what you are talking about.

I see the girls often and they are not only safe but hey are doing fine!! They live in an environment that is loving, healthy and allows them to feel what they truly feel, not what OTHERS want them to feel! I cannot believe the person that posted above would be apart of spreading such rumors!!! Obviously that person nor any for that matter know anything about the girls!

If the girls are true to feel what they want, why has poor Kensi alienated all her Waco friends? Why doesn't she return their phone calls? Why doesn't she want to be in contact with the girls who were her closest friends? That kind of friendship doesn't end. My best friend and I have know each other since we were 4. We both moved around alot, yet that didn't stop us. I have other close friends that I have know since I was Kensi's age that even after moving around, we never lost touch. These girls were inseperable. That doesn't go away on its own.
