Please keep the family of one of my dearest friends, Anita, in your prayers. This afternoon her mother went to the Lord after fighting poor health since having a stroke 2 years ago. She asked to go home and died there after seeing many, many relatives. She was tired of needles and the hospital and it sounds like she had a very peaceful death surrounded with love. It is still hard, though, even when you know what is coming and my friend is grieving and sad.
Also, my son is having a procedure tomorrow to see how his ulcerative colitis is going. He has had constant problems and the drs. haven't seemed able to get things under control. Tomorrow they will see how things look and change his meds. He still isn't able to work and is living home with us. He has been very depressed over the entire situation so please keep him in your prayers, too, please.
