I am SO VERY SORRY, for you, your wife, and your entire family. My heart aches for all of you. Adding you to my daily prayers beginning today. May God care for you ever so tenderly in your pain. Josie Ray (I&#39;m so glad, now, that I came to your site, so that I know to pray. Keep turning toward the light, little by little, as you can.)Josie Rayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03781270584168622683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5791496318819973464.post-21042625290507224622012-01-19T14:08:12.309-05:002012-01-19T14:08:12.309-05:00My continued thoughts and prayers Mike.
