Dear friends,
We wanted to write and share with
you that Jean’s mother, Dorothy, died yesterday... and is, we trust, enveloped in the peace of God’s eternal Love. We would very much appreciate prayers for Jean’s dad who is deeply grieving the death of his soul mate and best friend for over 77 years! Thank you for all the many ways you have been “with us” during Dorothy’s illness.
May your lives be blessed with love and peace,
Jean & Ron
