Baby Karnes Heaven Fund

~ Please help contribute to funeral & medical costs for Jeff and Starla Karnes who lost their newborn baby girl, Cadence-Brooke Valley Karnes, RIP ~

Starla & Jeff expected to welcome their baby girl into this world in early December 2025. Instead, she was welcomed to heaven in early October 2025.
I’m Cadence-Brooke’s aunt Belle, and I know that Jeff and my sister, Starla are heartbroken and mourning through the most difficult thing they’ll ever have to endure – something NO parent should ever have to face: The death of a child. As we’re told in 1 Thessalonians 4:13, we as believers in Christ will never have to grieve in the way others do, those who have no hope. This is a truly astounding testament of Jeff & Starla’s faith: I saw these loving parents’ grief-stricken, tear-soaked faces: right in the midst of their deepest sorrow, in the abyss of the worst heartache imaginable, saying goodbye to their newborn daughter’s earthly body. Yet they still lifted their eyes toward God and chose to Bless the name of the Lord.
No parent ever truly “recovers” from this. But we who are alive and remain, continue and strive toward the mark of the prize of the high calling of Christ Jesus. In other words, we keep going – each day to fulfill our mission. Jeff & Starla will continue… they’ll continue parenting their other two young children, they’ll continue being an excellent uncle & aunt to my & our sister, Sarah’s little ones; they’ll continue in service to the ministry at Definition Church in Greensboro, North Carolina; They’ll continue to choose to bless the name of the Lord, Jesus.
I’m asking primarily that our church families & community members, neighbors and friends come together in prayer through this difficult time. I am also humbly asking that you find it in your hearts to help out the Karnes family by giving. The unexpected financial medical and funeral costs they’re incurring can only serve to add burden upon despair in such an already devastating situation.
Thank you, for giving to others – for in giving unto others, you’re giving unto the Lord. (Luke 6:38, Romans 12:13, Matthew 25:35-40)
