Dave: I had lunch with John Evans and John Grover today and learned of Irene’s circumstances. My wife Pam and I will be praying for you, Irene and the family. I would like to include Irene on our church prayer list with your permission and, ask that blood be donated in Irene’s name. My wife and I belong to Modesto Covenant Church.

Hi Dave-
It’s so difficult to read about this situation that Irene is in. Just seeing her healthy “inspiring” smile in the photo makes me ask the question why. But then again, she is such a remarkable person that I know God will use all of this to bless countless people across the globe. Patrice and I are praying for Irene and for your family. God is our provider and healer!
Ron Demolar and I talked today and we’re getting the word out. Ron has posted the information and we’ll both be sharing about Irene at staff meetings we run. I’ll capture almost 20 key management and leadership staff (which then reaches all other staff) & Ron will reach the entire summer staff. We’ve printed the instructions on how to give locally so that the blood (and platelet) will be credited to Irene at UCSF.
We’ll also be praying for her as a staff and as family.
We love you all. Tell Irene and the girls that Patrice and I said hello.
Bill
Dave:
Thanks for sending me this link. I didn’t know anything about any of this. I have prayed daily for your sweet wife…
Please express our concern for her, and our commitment to pray for Irene. She is one of the sweetest women I have ever met in my life.
