Good evening from a chilly (cold) Michigan! It has been too long (again) since I have been here. I did post on my Sweet Fall Memories page but have neglected getting here.

Well Sunday afternoon when they got her to the hospital she was in cardiac arrest and not responsive. Many of the pastors and others were at the hospital praying for her and for the doctors but a bit later in the afternoon we got the news that she had gone home to be with Jesus.

therefore, I will hope in him!”
If you are still here and have read this long post...thanks...and keep us in your prayers!!
