Hi Phil,

I'm praying that The Lord will touch Gretchan and that she will never 
ever want to do any drug stuff, and that she will quit doing drugs 
and quit lying to you and Sandy. I'm praying for you and Sandy that 
Gretchan will return the gift certifficate again from where ever she took it.

I am praying for a healing in everyone's hearts. I'mpraying for 
peace. I'm praying for the little ones, as well. Oh, how sad, this is 
so hard for little children.

Many prayers for you and Sandy, and lovings and squeezings for everyone.

Love,
Pat Ferguson
