<\/span><\/span>\u201cHow do we trust a God who is supposed to be good, all knowing and all powerful, but who allows such terrible things to happen \u2014 even to children?\u201d Tavia, 53, added.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat is a sacred and tender question \u2014 and one the Bible doesn\u2019t shy away from. Scripture is filled with the cries of those whose hearts have been shattered, who still wrestle to trust the same God they believe allowed the pain.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to The Post<\/a>, Janie was the great-granddaughter of late billionaire William Herbert Hunt, who was the brother of Chiefs founder Lamar Hunt. Lamar was Clark\u2019s father.<\/p>\n
