Re: New Battle
Dear Barb,
I am praying hard that all will go well with you at Wills and that there will be no mets, and that recovery will be thorough and as soon as possible. Bonnie, please know that I am praying for you, too. I am praying for all to have the peace of God in their hearts, and praying this for myself also. May God bless you and I hope with my whole heart that all goes well.
