Update

Thank you all for praying -- we can feel the prayers. Very difficult. Please pray for family members traveling home for the funeral: Natalie (coming from Manitoba); Joy & Nicholas (California); and an aunt from BC.

Natalie and Jonathan are having a very difficult time dealing with this sudden death of a beloved grandfather. Doug and I are grieving as well, but all is well. Pray for wisdom for us this week and as Doug, Joy and I discuss what to do next with their mother and her care. She is taking it hard, of course. And we need to stay with her at night and don't believe she will be able to live alone. Our life has changed once again, and we still hardly believe that our beloved father and grandfather is gone to be with the Lord. Thank you for praying...

Also -- just found out tonight from Doris, who is in New Zealand with her husband, that Doris' mother passed away in the night last night as well. She has had Alzheimers for 2-3 years and went to be with the Lord. So, please pray for Doris and family.

I am exhausted.

Wow, a lot of death going on. But it's also a new life for them. (((hugs)))
I just want to share some cheer with you. Yesterday a friend of mine just had a baby boy. This baby is such a miracle for them as her & her husband had been dealing with infertility for about 10 years. This baby boy is such a dream come true for them!
A time for everything, a time to be born and a time to die.

Love,
Krista

Deb, I am so sorry to see that your FIL and your friende, Doris's mom has passed away as well. It is a bad time of year to lose love ones.
