Dear Aunt Marie, Laura, Debbie and Family, I am so sorry to hear of Uncle Jimmy's passing. Though we haven't been in touch, your dad always had a special place in my mom's heart (she passed in Sept. 2of 011). I also have fond memories of him and am glad I got to connect with him (and all of you) - though briefly - as an adult. You will all be in my prayers...
Hey Cousin, wonderful poem. Let me now pray for you and anonye else suffering from this disease. Our Father in Heaven, so glorious is your riches in healing motivated by love. Please extend your hand of healing to anonye reading this prayer. Let them truly encounter your presences in their lives and see that you care for them. Bring your comfort and peace to those who think and feel as though know one else understands and even to those who think that You don't care. Let them see that you have extended your love to them through your Son Jesus. May you wash them all with your love, forgiveness and healing. May they all taste and see that you truly are Good. I pray this in the Great Physician and Healers name, Jesus Christ. Amen
