Dear, dear Irene,

I came across this poem again today and thought of you all….

Hope is my heart’s sacred courage
Hope is my life’s daring experience
Hope is my soul’s illumining success
Hope is my Lord’s ascending perfection

You’re in our thoughts, prayers, hopes and hearts.

Fondly,
Cynthia, Joshua & Cath

Irene and Family,

I just wanted to let you all know that you are in my prayers.  I can’t even begin to imagine what you are going through.  As I have browsed through this website, I can definitely see that God is at work.  He is your strength Irene!  The thing I most remember about you throughout the years is your radiant smile.  It is like a hug from God.  You truly shine His light, and you continue to do that each day, even now.  I pray that His grace would be sufficient for you today.

Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed,” says the LORD, who has compassion on you.  Isaiah 54:10

Dear Irene & Dave,

How thankful for the internet to be able to be close to you during this journey.  As you know, we are in NC and you can imagine the level of activity.

Nevertheless, YOU are on our hearts and in our minds as we constantly cry out desparate prayers on your behalf.

Ashley is here by my side and wanted me to tell you that she is also praying for you.

Love from us all,  Phyllis
