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

> If the tumer is not deep they will stick with the plan of 5 weeks of
