Joys and Concerns

Friends,

I know some of you may already be aware but for those not following Facebook, Phyllis passed away yesterday. This is so difficult to comprehend that she is gone, she has always been with us. We will miss her and speak of her often.

Barbara  gave me this necklace when I lost a dear colleague last June. I think this will help us all as we grieve Phyllis’s passing. It reads: My mind still talks to you; My heart still looks for you; But my soul knows you’re at peace. These words surround a beautiful dragonfly.

Betsy has asked that we send her emails with our thoughts and memories of Phyllis we all hold dear. She will publish them in the next newsletter on Friday as a memorial to her.

During this time of the COVID-19 pandemic we pray for all that have been affected either by contracting the virus, loss of work, working bravely on the front lines and those who are suffering the loss of a loved one.

GOD, IN YOUR LOVE, HEAR OUR PRAYERS!

 

THANK YOU TO ALL THOSE WHO ARE RISKING THEIR LIVES CARING FOR THOSE WHO ARE SICK WITH THIS VIRUS WHETHER IN THE HOSPITALS, NURSING HOMES, FIRST RESPONDERS WHO ARE OFTEN THE FIRST TO ENCOUNTER THE VIRUS.  SUPER MARKET EMPLOYEES AND SO MANY MORE WHO ARE SO UNSELFISH AND RISKING THEMSELVES AND FAMILY.
