the prayer list

[Karen M.]

Having the faith to keep you strong during times like this is such a difficult thing when the question "Why?" is upper most in your thoughts and prayers. Many are praying for strength and hope for your whole family during this time. I add my prayers each day.

[Robin G.]

Oh Ritzy, this is sooo hard. I'm praying that you, Beccah, Josh and the whole family be given the strength to get through this horrid ordeal
Hugs, Robin

[Robin G.]

Thank you--everyone. Each prayer and hug has held us up when we could do nothing but fall. Beccah went in for the D & E. The doctor said she did well; she was dilated enough that he didn't know why she was not able to deliver. They were able to remove the baby without tearing it apart and without doing any scraping or other damage to Beccah. For this we are truly grateful--God is faithful.

[Robin G.]

Dear Ritzy, that's good news. Now I pray for an easy and swift recovery for Beccah, and healing for all your hearts! Hugs, Robin

[Robin G.]

Well that is good news. I hope she is dealing with this I know it is hard I have been there I lost 2 babies too. With the love of her family and friends it will help.We will keep her in my praying for them love ya lady

[Mary R.]

Ritzy,
I'm happy to hear that the D&E went okay with no complications. Prayers for all of you that God's goodness will help Beccah to heal physically and emotionally and the rest of the famiy to find their way through this tough time.

[Terry K.]

Healing prayers to Becca, Josh, you and the rest of your family.

[Pam D.]

Please continue to pray for Ritzy, Beccah and Josh. Ritzy has posted on the blog today and is feeling very down indeed.

[Deborah W.]

Ritzy and her family are definitely in my thoughts and prayers. My heart aches for their loss and the painful journey they must be on.

My sister, Jeanne (also my quilting and singing buddy) needs your good thoughts right now. She just called to tell me that she will be having surgery on a detached retina tomorrow in Madison (only because they can't find an eye surgeon in Rockford - they're all at a conference in Chicago!), with the retinal specialist who has treated both of my torn retinas in the past. Of course we're concerned for her vision, but she is also just sick at the thought that she likely won't be able to go to Seattle to sing with our Sweet Adelines chorus in the international competition this next week. I'll be with her tomorrow and will try hard to keep her spirits up, but I could use some help - so keep us in your thoughts. Thanks!

Mary, Your sister and you and family are in my prayers, for a good outcome for your sister.

Praying all goes well for your sister.
