'She Knew Jesus': Laken Riley's Grieving Mom Breaks Silence, Delivers Powerful Message Calling People to Christ

Billy Hallowell : Mar 5, 2024  Faithwire.com

"...To all the parents out there, I want to lay this on your heart. I can assure you that there is no greater gift that you can give your children than to walk alongside them and help them develop their relationship with Jesus. It is the most important relationship they will ever have. I know my sweet Laken knew Jesus personally and she will live eternally in His home. He never left her side until the very last second she was here on earth and He will take care of her now and forever in Heaven. I find peace during this devastation in knowing that..." -Allyson Phillips, Laken Riley's mother

In a series of posts, grieving mom Allyson Phillips said it would be easy to lose "faith in mankind" after Riley's Feb. 22 murder, an event she called a "senseless and avoidable tragedy."

But Phillips said God has guided her family through everything they've faced in recent days, and expressed gratitude for the support and love she and her family have been given by their community.

"My family has faced the most devastating, unimaginable loss that anyone could ever be [forced] to endure," she wrote. "I would like to thank my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for being with me and my family during this heartbreaking time."

Phillips continued, "I encourage everyone to have a personal relationship with Jesus. I give Him all the glory for getting us through this."

As for those who have stepped up to help in every and any way, she said her heart has been warmed and joy has come amid her "worst nightmare."

"Please continue to pray for our family as we put one foot in front of the other moving forward," she wrote.

Riley, 22, a nursing student at Augusta University, was murdered while jogging around the University of Georgia campus.

Jose Antonio Ibarra, 26, was subsequently charged with her murder. Ibarra's status as an illegal immigrant is further igniting political conversation about America's porous southern border and the migrant crisis currently raging.

Phillips also posted a second message thanking people for attending Riley's celebration of life on Friday. Her note focused not on lamenting her loss, but on pointing people to Jesus... Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
