Fox 6 News Link Nadia Kersh remembered after 2 years missing
November 3, 2010 was the second year remembrance for our daughter, Nadia who disappeared from Homewood, Alabama and has not been seen or heard from since then. Below are the words shared by our family at her remembrance at Vulcan Park in Birmingham, Alabama later that evening:
Its been two painfully long years since our daughter Nadia disappeared from Homewood, AL on November 3, 2008 and every day since then were reminded she is not here. Three days after she went missing we were notified of her disappearance. We lived just outside of Washington D.C. at the time and we were completely overwhelmed by the news. Questions fired away at us at an alarming rate. What happened to Nadia? Where is she? Where is her son? Our grandson? What could possibly have happened? Today two years later many questions continue to go unanswered.
Albert Einstein was known as one of the most brilliant people in the world. He once said, The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing.
Well over 1000 people have been reported missing in AL. Most of them remain missing because those who have information on their whereabouts have been afraid to come forward and have remained silent. It is this choice of inaction that can damn a community into bondage of secrets, untruths and deception, the greatest tools used against a society creating misery, uncertainty and pain. That is not what our Lord in heaven would want.
Our God is not the author of confusion, misery, separation and despair. He would want you, the people in this community who have clues about what happened to Nadia and where she is to come forward with information concerning her whereabouts to end the darkness, to end the confusion and the mystery of where she is that surrounds us all.
Most people dont want to see me here, they dont want to hear what I have to say because its a reminder once again that their children, their siblings, their mother, father, sister, brother could be the next one taken and not heard from again. Each day we as a family are reminded Nadia is not here, each day I look at her picture and tell her we have not given up looking for you. But still, we need your help. We need your help to answer some of those unanswered questions. I ask you good people of Alabama to come forward and give us the information we need to find Nadia and bring her home. I ask you all who hear this message to ask around Birmingham and the surrounding communities to see if anyone has any information that could help us find Nadia and end this bondage of the unknown, of deception and of secrets.
You can help by calling the Homewood PD on their tip line at (205) 332-6262 with any information that might help us find her. If youve called before and you did not receive a response, dont be afraid, dont hesitate and please call again. All information is so important, so critical. Its important for us as a family as a society to find the truth, to find Nadia and release this community from the darkness of secrets.
If youd like to contact us, you can reach us at helpfindnadia.com (repeat) Just register on the site and send an email.
In the meanwhile, we as Nadias family and friends wont stop praying, praising God and looking to Him as our source of strength and hope. As we do each day we thank the Lord for He is all sovereign and we know He looks over Nadia and her son wherever they are.
Dear Heavenly Father we ask for Your continued protection and grace for Nadia, our grandson, the rest of our family and this community plagued with knowing one of its members is still missing. We pray for Mr Haywood and his family that you Lord may comfort their hearts for they are also a family in pain and despair. We lift up this community to You and ask You to touch the hearts of those people who can help us find our beloved daughter Nadia and bring her home to rest. Lord we ask you to guide the search teams as they continue to volunteer endless hours looking for her. We thank you for the officers of Homewood PD, Birmingham PD and the FBI who have been working to find the truth behind Nadias disappearance. Lord, we ask you to put people in our path to help us find answers we need and this community needs to heal. In Your Holy Name we pray. Amen.
Nadia’s brother, John added these words:
Hello everyone, I am John Kersh, Nadia’s brother. I am nine years old. I really miss my sister and if she came back home I would give her a big hug and show her around Montgomery, Alabama where we live now. I would show her where I go to school at Montgomery Academy.
I have a nice comfortable bed for her to sleep on at home and a big backyard and a big lake with some ducks, lots of geese and a big water fountain in the middle of the lake. I think Nadia would enjoy feeding the ducks and playing in the backyard with me and my sister, Charlie.
I really miss Nadia a lot. I wish she was here. Please help us find her. Thank you.
Nadia’s sister, Charlize added:
Nadia is my sister. She’s bigger than me. She is lost. We need to find her.
In Christ,
Nancy for all.
