In this post, but not sure of much of anything right now. The real reason I am posting is to ask for your most powerful prayers for my seventeen year old grandson. Quentin is a handsome, caring, bright, athletic, funny, polite, and loving person. He is one of our four twin grandsons. On Sunday morning he was found by a friend and had no pulse. First responders arrived and got his heart started and he was rushed to the hospital. Apparently he accidentally overdosed on prescription medication. He has been on life support since then ( this is Tuesday morning), and two brain scans have shown no apparent activity. We have not given up hope, and still believe God will provide a miracle for our beloved Quentin, as he is a strong, athletic teenager. Nothing in my sixty seven years has prepared me for this, but I am trying to stay strong and positive. I post this not expecting or requesting your response, but to ask that if you pray, please, please include Quentin underhill in those prayers. May God bless you all for your prayers.

I am on my iPad and can't figure out how to attach a picture, but you can see several pictures os Quentin on my twin grandson's albums.

Ed, I am putting Quentin on our small but very mighty First Presbyterian prayer chain back in the Muskegon, Michigan, town where we spend summers. That chain has indeed caused miracles down through the years, and even as recently as last month. Plus my daily prayers will be with him. We have a very long plane ride back from Spain, and that's a lot of time to pray. God be with Quentin, and with you.

01-01-2013, 07:25 PM
Ed, here is the entry on our prayer chain for Quentin. He will be blanketed in powerful prayer. God be with you.

Dear Mary,*

Ed, a friend and very dear grandfather of two sets of twins is asking for prayers for one of his grandsons who was found unresponsive by a friend, apparently from an accidental overdose of prescription meds. *They got his heart started, and he is on life support, but little brain activity is showing.

Please, for now we pray for a downright miracle. If God deems that not possible, we pray for strength for the family and good decisions by his doctors.

But a fighting miracle like is happening for those other twins we've been praying for, would be a blessing indeed.

Cyndy

I have prayed and prayed all week and got the news last night, as my son Andrew Noll was at the hospital when Coach Hammer spoke to the kids in the waiting room. There are no words to express my sorrow and sympathy. Anger set in when I thought about the pain of the family and all they will have to go through, I fell asleep crying. I woke this morning, still heavy sorry on my heart but I realized that even though our prayers for Quentin weren't answered the way we wished, even though the miracle we were praying for didn't occur, other miracles will begin to happen. Other families, mothers, fathers, brothers and sister have been praying for a miracle for their loved ones to be saved. Because of Quentin's families selflessness in letting Quentin be an organ donor, others who were lost will be saved. I will never forget Quentin.. he will live in our hearts and memories for all time.

Thank you all for your prayers and thoughts, it means more than you can ever know. Your prayers were not in vain, as God just decided he needed a young, strong, handsome, and loving fishing buddy. Q as we have called him from the beginning is a true hero. His decision when he got his drivers license a little over a year ago, was to check the box as an organ donor. He actually showed me the license proudly pointing out the fact he could be a donor. None of us in our worst nightmares could have imagined that would become a reality, but it has, and I am proud to be his "Popeye". He will help about eight other families who are suffering to get blessed relief. He is my hero and my blessed angel. Hug your loved ones a little tighter this week for Q.

Ed, I wish there were words to help. There just aren't. I cannot imagine the pain you and your family are feeling. In the time I've known you here, you've proven to be a kind and caring person. I know you passed that on and that's probably the reason someone so young was thinking ahead to being an organ donor. It will truly make life better or even possible for several people.

You are in my heart and in my wishes for a better future tonight.

This wonderful post is from the mother of one of Q's good friends. She brought banana bread to the hospital a couple days ago and has been very supportive. I hope to see her again soon to find out how she knew about TOTV or this thread, as she clearly signed up just to post this. I have PM'd her but no answer. I presume she has a relative or friend on the board.

I'm very sorry for your loss. It's terrible. We nearly lost our son twice during the summer of 2007...we aren't made to watch these things happen to our kids or grandkids. Be strong.

Ed, there are no words that I can offer that haven't already been made that could sufficiently help relief the pain you must be experiencing at this time. I do however offer you this poem in hopes that it provides a small flicker of light to the darkness of the moment.

DO NOT STAND AT MY GRAVE AND WEEP

http://www.christianforums.net/image.php?u=90484&dateline=1345655020

Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there I do not sleep
I am a thousand winds that blow
I am the diamond glints on the snow
I am the sunlight on ripened grain
I am the gental autumn rain
When you wake in the mornings hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
of quiet birds in circled flight
I am the soft stars that shine at night
Do not stand at my grave and cry
I am not there, I did not die

I guess God needed him on a special mission, more than he was needed here in this life. May He give you and your family the strength to endure this loss. I hope that knowing he will improve the life of 8 people will give some comfort. My heart aches for you and your family. God bless.....

Q has passed and donated his organs to some people whose families will cherish a small part of him in their loved ones. Quentin is my hero, and a hero to those people who benefited by the most selfless decision a human being can possibly make. As I have previously stated, I can only assume that God needed a handsome, funny, smart, loving fishing buddy and called for the best we had. He and his twin brother Nicholas started calling me popeye when they were old enough to talk and all my other 4 grandchildren have called me that, and it is the proudest honor I will ever achieve.

My condolences and sentiments from having lost an 8 year old stepson many years ago. Losing the younger ones is very hard but your statement is the best that anyone can say in these circumstances. I know. Peace to you and your family.

I have prayed and prayed all week and got the news last night, as my son Andrew Noll was at the hospital when Coach Hammer spoke to the kids in the waiting room. There are no words to express my sorrow and sympathy. Anger set in when I thought about the pain of the family and all they will have to go through, I fell asleep crying. I woke this morning, still heavy sorry on my heart but I realized that even though our prayers for Quentin weren't answered the way we wished, even though the miracle we were praying for didn't occur, other miracles will begin to happen. Other families, mothers, fathers, brothers and sister have been praying for a miracle for their loved ones to be saved. Because of Quentin's families selflessness in letting Quentin be an organ donor, others who were lost will be saved. I will never forget Quentin.. he will live in our hearts and memories for all time.

Kindest Regards- Sandy Noll

Just reading all of these posts about this beloved grandson; only now to find that he will live on , not only in the hearts and memories of his wonderful grandpa and family members, but via his organs which will help others to continue their lives on earth.........Quentin was much too young to leave, but apparently he generated so much love and so many prayers.........his short life will be remembered always.

Great post Sandy ! Very uplifting.........even though it is so sad to lose someone so very young at this time of year , especially. My condolences to the family.

Thank you all for your prayers and thoughts, it means more than you can ever know. Your prayers were not in vain, as God just decided he needed a young, strong, handsome, and loving fishing buddy. Q as we have called him from the beginning is a true hero. His decision when he got his drivers license a little over a year ago, was to check the box as an organ donor. He actually showed me the license proudly pointing out the fact he could be a donor. None of us in our worst nightmares could have imagined that would become a reality, but it has, and I am proud to be his "Popeye". He will help about eight other families who are suffering to get blessed relief. He is my hero and my blessed angel. Hug your loved ones a little tighter this week for Q.

Your grandson will always be around you. His spirit will comfort you as will the memories you shared with him.........God bless.

Condolences to you and your wife .......and all of your family.

We have five grandchildren ourselves, one of which is 18, and your journey the past week must have taken you to some pretty high as well as low places.......the beautiful memories will sustain you and yours.

All of us have our children and then our grandchildren for only a short period of borrowed time.........on earth. One never knows when they will be called HOME. Your grandson left a wonderful legacy as an organ donor. Again, God bless you and yours.

In this post, but not sure of much of anything right now. The real reason I am posting is to ask for your most powerful prayers for my seventeen year old grandson. Quentin is a handsome, caring, bright, athletic, funny, polite, and loving person. He is one of our four twin grandsons. On Sunday morning he was found by a friend and had no pulse. First responders arrived and got his heart started and he was rushed to the hospital. Apparently he accidentally overdosed on prescription medication. He has been on life support since then ( this is Tuesday morning), and two brain scans have shown no apparent activity. We have not given up hope, and still believe God will provide a miracle for our beloved Quentin, as he is a strong, athletic teenager. Nothing in my sixty seven years has prepared me for this, but I am trying to stay strong and positive. I post this not expecting or requesting your response, but to ask that if you pray, please, please include Quentin underhill in those prayers. May God bless you all for your prayers.

I am on my iPad and can't figure out how to attach a picture, but you can see several pictures os Quentin on my twin grandson's albums.

Lord your Word says that before a prayer is off our lips you are answering it. I ask you to provide a miracle for Quentin and supernaturally do what only you can do, cause Quentin's brain to be restored completely and for the machine to show activity in the name of Jesus. Provide an angel to watch over him as he recovers and give comfort to the parents, grandparents and all you know and love him. We call on no one else but you. Thank you Lord!
