Hello Everyone,

I just wanted to give a quick update on Mom.

She continues to rest peacefully in the pallitive care unit of the hospital. Our prayer is for no suffering, and we know that God is with us. The nurses have all been so wonderful and take special care of our mother. Patti and I have told them all about our mother and what a great nurse she is.

Our family would like to say a special 'Thank You' to Wayne the Baptist (as Dad calls him). We listened to his sermon on Sunday while sitting in Mom's room. His words of inspiration have lifted us up during this low time. He has visited us daily and listened to us say, "This is the day the Lord has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it." His sermon on Sunday focused on this powerful verse, and we are grateful.

Thank you for all of the love, support, and prayers that we continue to receive. Please continue to think of us as we weather this storm. Our hearts are breaking, but we know that God is Good...All the Time...

Love,
Laura
