Pat, I am praying with you. Lord, I know you are looking after Pat, and
please be with her during her treatments. I know she is surrounded by your
love. Please make it possible for Pat to stay in the hospitality house
while she is undergoing treatments and please provide a huge financial
blessing for Pat and Vernon. I ask this in the name of Jesus. Amen.
God bless,
Sharon Gill
