Special Thoughts for my Sister

Good morning my dear friends,

This weekend while I was visiting my sister, her best friend / boyfriend of 6 years died suddenly.  I am asking that all of you keep her, her 4 daughters and his family in your prayers.  I have added her address if you would like to send a sympathy card her way.  I know she will appreciate it as this has been a very tough weekend.  My sister is very strong in her faith and has been a beacon of light to me.  We know that Brandon is in a better place and that she will see him again.  The Plan of Salvation through Jesus Christ is a true plan of happiness.  

Thank you all for being such a wonderful support to me & my family.
