Oh, Phil! How absolutely wonderful! Will be praying especially for little
Everett, that his baby heart will be filled with peace and comfort through
Jesus' Love, and through yours and Sandy's. Thanks so much for sharing
with us that Gretchen is showing signs of her healing even now. Praise be
unto God!
In His Love,
Helen
