Good Evening Dave, Irene and Family,

Christy and I are praying for your family continuously.  I have found in scripture that, “As children of God we can trust that our Father will provide for us.”  In Irene’s case, God’s angels are with you in this time of need.  God will see you through this journey.  Many prayers and thoughts are rushing from the “hot” San Joaquin Valley toward your “cool” hospital room at UCSF.  The staff at UCSF are awesome!  They have taken good care of me with my cancer and I KNOW they will take care of you.

My wife and I went to Santa Cruz this last weekend.  We had fond memories of the time we spent with your family last year at Jo Anna’s Graduation Party then the year before with the BBQ.  When I passed the exit to your house on Highway 1, I really thought and prayed deeply for your speedy recovery.  We look forward to the day to visiting with you.

Love always,

Christy and Shawn
