    Lily Lozitsky

    August 29, 2009 - July 2, 2021

    On Monday June 28th, Veniamin Lozitsky (age 37) and his 6 young children went fishing at Berea Metroparks near Wallace Lake. Lily (age 11), cooling off from the hot weather, unexpectedly stepped into a part of the river that had a sudden drop. Veniamin, seeing Lily drowning in the water, rushed in to try to save her, followed by sibling Luke (age 10) who also tried to help. The younger children who were witnesses (age 2.5-8) ran to the road screaming for help and attempted to stop someone to call 911. By the time someone came to their aid and emergency crew arrived, Lily, Veniamin, and Luke had been underwater for over 20 minutes. Lily was pulled from the water by an officer and taken to the hospital, then life-flighted to Rainbow Babies and Children's Hospital. Rescue workers found Veniamin and Luke almost an hour after they went under. Veniamin and Luke were transported to Southwest Hospital in Middleburg Heights, and were pronounced dead shortly thereafter. Father and son are now resting in the arms of our Heavenly Father. "..according to my earnest expectation and my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life, or by death. For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain." Philippians 1:20-21 May God's name be glorified even through this terrible tragedy. The total number of children in the Lozitsky family was eight. Six currently remain safe with mother Liliya Lozitsky, and are between the ages of 6 months and 13 years old. This morning our beloved niece went on to see the Lord with her brother and father. Thank you to every one of you that was praying for her to pull through. God hears our prayers but also knows how best to answer them and I would encourage everyone to not lose faith. All things work for good for those who love the Lord. Please continue praying for the family in the next weeks and months as they process what happened. We love you all and are beyond grateful for all the love and support you have shown. The funeral arrangements will be finalized in the next day or so and we would appreciate your patience with that. The service will be held at the Church of Evangelic Faith, and more details will be announced as they become know. Any donations during this horrible time are appreciated, as Veniamin was the sole provider of the family. May God bless you one-hundred-fold. Please keep the family in your prayers. All funds raised will be used to benefit Veniamins's wife and children. Anyone who is a Cleveland local is encouraged to donate at the Church of Evangelic Faith, where a bereavement fund has been established and 100% of funds will go directly to the family. "And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. And He that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And He said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful." Revelation 21: 4-5 https://gofund.me/034175b2
