Our last posted prayer request asked for prayer as my mother was pretty sick. She had melanoma cancer. We flew to FL to be with everyone as she was admitted to ICU. Well she was in ICU for 9 days, when she was transferred to a wonderful hospice facilty in Largo where she received wonderfuyl care for the last 15 days of her life. She went home to be with the Lord on May 11. We had a wonderful service for her May 15. Shirley and I stayed with Dad for an extra week to do whatever we could to help. He seems to be doing ok since then, but you can imagine the tough time it is to adjust to not having your partner of 58 years around. Your prayers for Don are greatly appreciated. As far as the rest of us (my brother and sister and me and our spouces), we are doing ok too. We had time with Mom and were able to say everything i think we wanted to say before she left. We talk more now than we used to which is a good thing. Our conversations are more God centered  too which is another very good thing…Thank You Lord!

Thank you for your prayers for us as we traveled this tough path together. We cherish the Body of Christ and thank God for the way she reached out to our family throughout the past month. May you know how much we appreciate you.

Philippians 1.3 

We would appreciate your prayers for our family. My (Rex’s) Mom went to the ER April 16 and ended up staying in ICU for 9 days. We thought we were going to lose her. However, she did come out of it a bit and Saturday the 25th she was able to transfer to the Woddside hospice facilty. What a blessing!

She had just finished 3 months of chemo for Multiple Myaloma, through which she had done well. She apparently came down with an infection though that really threw her for a loop. My Dad is reeling too, as you might imagine. They have been married 58 years.

We are not sure what will happen now. Today, Wednesday the 29th, she has slept most of the day. It is a day to day dependence on the Lord. We praise Him for how He has brought our family together at this time. We have talked much about salvation and God’s sustaining grace. What an answer to prayer. We know His timing is perfect and He only does what is good! Hallelujah!!!

Thank you for taking us before the throne of Grace!

Much love in Christ,

Rex and Shirley

March 26 will find us once again taking to the air…this time to AZ to visit Mike and Rachel. While there we hope to see the grand canyon and also head over to LA to see AJ and Meg.

Your prayers for us will be so appreciated as we travel in unknown territory :>). Not exactly like PNG is it?

Here are a few other things we are praying about:

• Shirley speaking at a Women’s retreat in April.
• My 1,2,3 John class coming up in April.
• Senior retreat coming up late April.
• My Mom, Dot, is undergoing chemo treatment for Myaloma. Please pray for her spiritual well-being.
• My Dad, Don, as Mom goes through the chemo…They have been married 58 years. WOW!

Thank you so much for praying for these things with us. We thank God for each of you. Let us know how we can pray for you please!
