Please pray for my nieces, who lost their dear mom a year ago today. They are doing well - Dad has done the best he could, all things considerered, to help them adjust to everything. Nonetheless, my nieces miss their beloved mom and the younger two are not yet able to fully understand that Mom is with God in Heaven. Dad is sad and struggling through other issues, and needs prayer. I'm so thankful my SIL is free from her earthly burdens of ill health and sadness, but we all miss her so very much.

Please join with me in prayer for Kim's soul and for the three beloved daughters she had to leave behind. I hope that Our Lord will somehow convey to these young ladies (16, 8, 5) that they are beloved, that their mom is praying for them and urging them to be strong in faith, and that they will realize they always have a loving home open to them, no matter what might happen in the future. I am so thankful that their father has made plans for their futures and involved our family in this process, especially since his wishes coincide with what my SIL would have wanted. No matter what, my nieces will be loved and cherished...a real blessing.

It's never easy to lose a beloved family member, especially at this time of year, but it is such a comfort to know that you were all praying for Kim one year ago and that today, God Willing, she is with Our Lord, free from all earthly concerns. She knew all about 4Real and prayed for your intentions often.

Please know that I bring your intentions to our loving Father in prayer and am grateful, in my turn, for your prayers.

Nancy, there have been so many days in the last year when I have thought of Kim and prayed for her and for her girls. Her prayers for me during her own trials continue to sustain me. I will always pray for her, for her children, and for you and the rest of your family.

I do remember very clearly praying for Kim, Nancy. I can imagine that her family is still missing her so intensely! I'm late, but praying for all of you as well as continuing to pray for the repose of Kim's soul. Anniversaries are mysterious and hard.
