Dear Dave:

I am terribly sorry to hear of your news.  I will most certainly pray for you and for Irene.  The treatment routine sounds quite involved.  Is there something I can do to help or encourage you?

I will pray for healing for Irene.  In the meantime, I pray the Lord sustains and encourages you.  You are a blessing to so many, Dave, not the least of whom must surely be Irene.

Michael
