Death in our family
Please keep my family in prayer today.
My Aunt Helen (my mother's sister-86 years old) has lost another child--my cousin Timmy was scheduled for open heart surgery on Monday and didn't make it. Aunt Helen had 13 children, and has had to see the deaths of 5 of them, two by suicide. It's too much.
