Hi Dave,

THANK YOU for informing us of Irene’s illness.  Please know that we will pray for all of you as you journey with the Lord through this season.  It was assuring to read about your family’s dependence on our Lord and it’s an encouragement to us all that you are seeing God’s Hand at work in Irene’s life and in yours.

You have two beautiful daughters who I know are blessing you with their courage and faith.  I loved seeing their pictures and enjoyed seeing all of you in the pictures.  The memories of our time in Merced were quickly renewed and Irene’s sweet, gentle nature was remembered.  I know the Lord is near.  “But as for me, it is good to be near God.  I have made the Sovereign Lord my refuge; I will tell of all your deeds” (Ps. 73:28).

May you be strengthened each day by our loving Father and may Irene feel the prayers of those who remember and love her.

Blessings,
Betty Lou & Steve
