Guest guest Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 Joan, I must apologize for 'striking back' at what seemed to be a personal attack. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I pray to God for a Miracle breakthrough for your mother. There is nothing impossible through Jesus. I have been so swamped I wasn't able to read this before I responded to your post to me - I've been sick with a fever/cold and trying to keep up with the responses from several lists while also keeping up with the Office of Advocacy cases. I realize that what I thought to be a 'tough time' right now is a cakewalk compared to what you must be going through. I hope you take this sincerely - as it is very much that. Take care of yourself and family in this time of need. May the blessings and favour of God be upon you, E. , Sr. ===================== Posted through Grouply, the better way to access your Yahoo Groups like this one. http://www.grouply.com/?code=post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
