This is so heartbreaking. The daughter and son-in-law of Missouri Representative Ben Baker were killed in Haiti this week, while on missionary work in the island nation.

Missouri state Rep. Ben Baker’s daughter and son-in-law were among three people shot and killed in a gang attack while serving as missionaries in Haiti, the politician said Friday.
“My heart is broken in a thousand pieces. I’ve never felt this kind of pain,” the Republican lawmaker wrote on Facebook.
Baker’s 21-year-old daughter, Natalie, and her husband, Davy Lloyd, 23, died alongside their mission group’s director when they were “attacked by gangs” on Thursday evening, Baker said.
“They went to Heaven together. Please pray for my family we desperately need strength. And please pray for the Lloyd family as well. I have no other words for now,” the grieving father added.
Our deepest sympathies to Baker and his family.

This is such an indictment of the media and our politicians.
Horrifying, prayers to Rep. Baker.

We can't imagine how painful and sad this is for the Baker family.
My heart breaks just reading this.

Ours are broken, too.
Life is so f*cking unfair. ☹️

It really is.
Very cool that the Biden admin is flying as many Haitian “refugees” into the country as possible. It’ll be fine. https://t.co/W25sjmEcZr

Amen.
GP This is horrible. Also, don't go to failed countries engaged in civil war. https://t.co/KzjOsL1L3e
