Three New Blessings for a Local Family Hit by Tragedy

Almost a year to the day since their three kids were killed in a terrible wreck almost within sight of my house, the Coble family of nearby Ladera Ranch has welcomed new triplets into their lives:
MISSION VIEJO – A Ladera Ranch couple who almost one year ago lost three children in a freeway crash announced the birth of triplets – two girls and a boy – born late Wednesday.

The babies were born within minutes of each other. The first baby girl named Ashley was born at 9:42 p.m. weighing 3 pounds, 8 ounces. Then a minute later came Ellie, weighing four pounds, and their brother Jake weighing 3 pounds, 14 ounces was born at 9:44 p.m. The babies are in the care of Children's Hospital at Mission and are listed in good condition. They were born by C-section. Lori Coble is in good condition, said Denise Almazan, spokeswoman for Children's Hospital of Orange County.

In October Lori and Chris Coble found out that triplets – two girls and a boy – were expected to come into their lives in May.

"It's kind of a two-sided coin," Chris Coble, 36, said then. "We feel amazed that it's happening, but at the same time we're still mourning Kyle, Emma and Katie. Nothing will ever replace them. We feel joy for what's happening, but we're crying and missing the kids."

The Coble children – Kyle, 5, Emma, 4, and Katie, 2 – died after a big-rig loaded with more than 40,000 pounds of electronics struck the family's Chrysler minivan May 4 on the I-5 in Mission Viejo. The minivan was stopped in the slow lane. Lori Coble, 30, who was driving, and her mother, Cynthia Maestri, 60, were injured.
I'm really happy for them. I remember that terrible day very well, and did a lot of posting on the accident. We'll never understand why Kyle, Emma and Katie had to go, but God is good and now they have three new little ones to fill their house.
