"News media have been bombarding us with requests to share and comment and appear to celebrate Annabelle's life. However, as much tragedy as that entails for our family, we don't want to overshadow the other lives lost yesterday. We lost more than Belle yesterday. And one thing that gives me a sliver of encouragement, is the fact that Belle was surrounded yesterday, by her church family that she loved fiercely, and vice-versa." -Sherri Pomeroy

"Whatever life brings to you, lean on the Lord rather than your own understanding. I don't understand but I know my God does and that's where I'll leave that," Pastor Pomeroy told reporters.

"And one thing that gives me a sliver of encouragement is the fact that Belle was surrounded yesterday by her church family that she loved fiercely and vice-versa," Sherri Pomeroy said in her statement.
