Hi all. I'm writing to ask all of my readers and friends to please be praying for my family over the course of this week. Yesterday, we received the tragic news that a very, very close friend of our family's had taken her own life. She had been very ill for years and it seems that the pain was just too much for her to bear any longer. I will not go into all of the details, but this woman just happened to be my mother's best friend, and as close to a 2nd mother to me and my sisters as anyone could be. Her passing was just 1 week after the 5 year anniversary of my mother's passing. Whether or not this was a coincidence or not, we will never know. But, by having to deal with her sudden death, many memories of loss and hurt are being dredged up for all of us.
Please remember her family in your prayers, as well as the church she & her husband founded and pastored.
I will return at some point next week when I can see the sunshine through the clouds.
God Bless!
