Urgent prayers are being begged for Barbara Curtis and her family. Barbara suffered a massive stroke and is in very grave condition.

Oh my goodness, Ruth! Thank you so much for letting us know.

I'll certainly pray for Barbara and her family.

Here is an update and donation request from Elizabeth Foss: To Give

Unfortunately, it doesn't sound good for Barbara. Looks like the Curtis family will need many many prayers.

Ruth or anyone local to Barbara,
Are there any further updates on Barbara's condition today? There seems a dearth of public information - perhaps this is at the family's request?

My prayers continue here.

This is from an email from her local homeschool group...

"Barbara is on life support and unconscious. She will not resume consciousness. The family is waiting to get all of the children home to say their good byes. We pray now for the family, peace, and healing. I believe they will need support in the next few weeks. Please pray, this is so difficult."

So painful and tragic for the Curtis family.

Thank you for the update, Ruth.
