Please Pray

We were out of town for a few days and missed the news.  Lauren told us tonight that her boyfriend's good friend (they had worked together filming football freshman year) died at school this Wednesday.  What a loss.  Please pray for this young man and all those who loved him.  Thank you.

Tragic Tidings

A family that I don't know personally has suffered a great loss. Their 14 year-old autistic son was missing from a campout and then found drowned in a lake. Please pray for them and for the soul of Ryan Barrett.

In Memory

Hyatt Nolan died peacefully Thursday evening, December 4. Please pray for her soul and the family and friends who will miss her.

In Memory

Yesterday we went to a funeral mass for Joseph and Rebecca's violin teacher. She died on Thursday at 54. She was a very private person, so although we knew she was seriously ill, we weren't expecting her to succumb. Dr. Marianne Murray Perkins, a fantastic musician and teacher, was so kind to our children. Please pray for her.

In Memory

This morning, Len's grandmother passed from this world to the next. She was 89 and had many health problems, but this still felt sudden to us. She got up this morning, then went back to bed and fell asleep. We're all grateful her passing could be so peaceful, but of course we'll miss her.

Please pray for the repose of the soul of Margaret Rose Schmidt. May she be with God soon. Thank you.
