David Carmichael sent this notice. My best to the McCain family.

We have known a very special young lady, Lauren McCain. She is no doubt in Paradise today. She had great faith, courage and love for the Lord Jesus. Encouragement should have been her middle name. She, and her mom and dad, have been a great encouragement to our family over these last many difficult years. We are all grieving deeply at their loss, and our loss, though rejoicing at Lauren's gain. She walked with Elohim and she was not, for Elohim took her.
Pray for the Lord's grace upon her family. She was one of two young ladies who were attending German class, who were not identified until Tuesday afternoon. The long wait no doubt increased their trauma.
She was in the relatively small homeschool co-op group that our family is involved in, she was in our church homegroup, and she was on the Highschool Varsity Soccer team that my wife Leslie formed for our homeschool young ladies. She faithfully encouraged us and excitedly asked me how things were going with regarding our liberty work, and our evangelism ministry.
We will all remember her as one who was an example of what we ought to be as a follower of our Lord Jesus Christ. She daily rendered honor to the least of these.

Updates are few because the work is great. The last two days have been dedicated to concern for Lauren and her family, intense mourning for ourselves, and providing support for her family. We press on with the task at hand, remembering Lauren for the encouragement that she has given, and rejoicing in her gain of being face to face with our Lord in Paradise.
