A Friend in Need

Please pray for some of my best friends and their family. MaryLee Baker and fellow blogger, Janiece Cooper and siblings are gathering together at their parent's home as I type. Their mother has battled cancer off and on for several years, having been diagnosed with breast cancer in 1993 or 94. It was in remission for quite awhile but then about 4 years ago, she was told she had cancer in her back. I think it may have spread to other organs and she has been on chemo or radiation a lot of the time since that diagnosis.

We grew up with their family in the church. Their older sisters are friends of my older sisters and sang together just as Mary and Janiece did with my sister, Barb, and me. The picture posted is of both sets of parents from Easter 2006 (l to r: my dad, my mom, Maryln and Leland) and it has fast become one of my favorites. In fact an 8x10 is sitting on my piano.


Anyway, I know the family would appreciate all your prayers for safe travels, strength and peace in the days ahead.
