Prayers for my Family

The last few weeks have been pretty trying for my family on my Dad's side. A few days before Thanksgiving my cousin Steve and his wife Andrea lost their baby girl born at 5 months (preterm). Her name was Mereck Loy .

My parents told me this morning that my uncle Dan has also been hospitalized for a collapsed lung. He was scheduled for foot surgery on Thursday but was hospitalized for that instead.

Now tonight we received word that my Dad's oldest sister Ione Freeland has lost her life to a horrible disease called Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease. She was only 68 years old and was just diagnosed with this the end of October. This is a very rare disease(1 in a million). Below is a link to read more about the disease. We knew it was only a matter of time as this is a fatal disease but it's always hard to accept the inevitable.

Please keep my all of my family in your prayers, especially during this Holiday season.
