Our love and our prayers will be with you always.
I think whom ever God puts in the hospitality house with you must be
very special  My heart breaks to think of you suffering in one breath,
and in the next, I can't wait to hear about the Divine Appointments
that are planned for you.
Love you always,
Donna
