Dear Pettrey Family, Your friends at Lenawee Christian School are upholding you in prayer during this very sorrowful time. In the midst of immense grief and loss, may the peace of God that passes understanding sustain you and may the comfort of God that goes beyond measure enfold you. "Whom have I in heaven but you? And there is nothing on earth that I desire besides you. My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever." (Psalm 73:25-26)

Rob, I hope this message isn't duplicated, but apparently it didn't take the first time. Since our days at Valley Farm, we have ha d a remote friendship, seeing each other periodically at various Christian events. As a father of 5, I always worried when my kids drove somewhere in the car. (Now they worry about me) I have often thought and said that I couldn't bear the tragedy that has taken one of your precious children to be with Him. But I know that I could bear it and you will too because of the hope that lies within us. She is in the loving arms of Jesus, and you will see her again one day. I will pray for you and your family in the coming days, weeks, and months. May God bless you Rob. Dick

It has been a real privilege to know Rosella and to hear her beautiful voice in praise of our Savior and Lord Jesus Christ. My heart goes out to Rob and Michelle and the rest of her wonderful family. I am praying for you and will continue to pray for your comfort and peace at this difficult time.

Michelle, Rob and family. Seeing the article in the Monroe News brought tears of sadness for your loss. My heart goes out to all of you. Of course you know we have the promise to be reunited with our loved ones in Heaven but it does not diminish the loss we feel on this earth. I will pray for you and your family that our Lord wrap His loving arms around you and bring you comfort and peace. In deepest sympathy.

I knew Rosella through Camp Barakel. She was as dear as any young lady could be. She touched the lives of everyone around her in a most positive way, which in this day and age can be rare. Although we grieve tremendously in her loss we may also rejoice tremendously knowing, that as believers, we will see her again. My most most sincere condolences to her entire family.

Dear Rob and Michelle, Dan and I are heartbroken for you. Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. May God help you and the family as you walk this sad journey. There are no words we could say. Even in your grief, we pray that you will feeling God's mighty arms holding you, helping you. In His Love, Dan and Lois

Dear Pettrey family. I never met Rosella but I have been inspired by her life now even almost a month after her death. My mom shared with me a post from Bright Lights written by Melody Kirk. I personally felt a connection and was drawn to the story because I turned 20 in December of 2018. Reading Rosella’s story on how she loved her life and lived it to the fullest encouraged me so much but also saddened me because I know that all those that she knew and especially the ones close to her must be hurting very deeply. Even though I never knew of her until she was gone from this world, I look forward to meeting her one day in heaven where we will praise our Lord forever. Her story has inspired me to live each day as if it’s my last, to bless others and most importantly to live for Christ alone. I wish I could tell you how much her life has impacted me. Much love in Christ, Karah Simon from TX

I knew Rosella from Camp Barakel. My 20th birthday this summer. That night I was talking to 2 other counselors in Arrowhead lodge that also knew Rosella. We all desperately miss her and long to see her again. She will never be forgotten. You guys will never be forgotten. “Beloved, we are God's children now, and what we will be has not yet appeared; but we know that when he appears we shall be like him, because we shall see him as he is.” 1 John 3:2
