I marvel at your beautiful and eloquent writing about a subject that is not pleasant or easy to deal with. You are truly blessed to share these difficult days with all of us who love and admire you so very much. You have so many talents that you have shared with so many people during your lifetime and continue to do so even though some days may feel absolutely “icky. One of my favorite passages that gives me comfort is Isaiah 41:13. My pastor read that to me when I was so sick three years ago and it gives me such strength when I need it. Please give Charles my greetings and tell him when he gets to be a gourmet cook I will be up for dinner. Smile. Until then please know that your cheering section in Omaha is doing cheers every day with our biggest pompons (prayers). God will take you by the hand and walk with you always. A great blessing because we are HIS. Lots of hugs to you. Sharon Struve

Jesus loves you…and so do I!…Tom

I just returned from an LWML prayer service. We focused on the “light” and had periods of silence to take our special petitions to our Heavenly Father. Since I was in the balcony at the organ bench (and alone as is often the case for organists – which you know), you, your care, and your spiritual well-being were at the top of my list. I know that you know the love of our Savior – sometimes it never hurts to be reminded and reassured, here it goes: “He loves you, Connie, so very much. He is with you ALL the way to comfort, protect, and care for you!”

May He surround you in His loving arms as you rest in Him tonight.

Love, Irene
