I know you all have been keeping our dear friend Maryan and her family and friends in your prayers this week. Today is the funeral for Mr. Vanderwoude. If you could please send a few more prayers their way, today is going to be a very emotional for them.

Thank you!

We are home from the funeral. It was oh so sad and yet so beautiful. The church was packed. I think the parish seats 1200, there were at least 500 standing in the church. We (Rachel May and I along with our children) were in the hall watching on the mass on tv. The hall was standing room only and the vestibule was packed. The Bishop was there and about 70 priests. Father VW gave a moving homily. What a wonderful testament to an amazing man and family.

We were able to see Maryan, Dan and most of the boys afterwards. I know your powerful prayers helped her today. As they were leaving Maryan called across the parking lot, "I feel the love!" Thank you for praying her through this difficult day.

Thanks for the update Mary Chris
I have been praying for Maryan and her family along with the rest of us at 4Real. She (and her family) have not been far from my thoughts.
