Ok, my second vanity, even though I had earlier promised that I would only post one. However, I felt that this was important enough to post here, where good people pray for those that really need it.
Got this e-mail from a friend this morning and I am asking you for some of that special prayer support that one only finds here.
I thank you.
"My Dear, dear Friends, I have some very sad news. My niece Sara xxx, my sister Fran's daughter, was beaten to death by her boyfriend this past Friday in Hawaii where she lived. She was also pregnant and after much testing on the fetus the doctor's determined that the baby could live outside the womb, but recommended it stay in-uterine for another 2 weeks. Sarah has been on life support since she entered the hospital and was proclaimed brain dead on Sunday. She is being kept medically alive for this gestation period. My nephew/godson Mike xxx went to Hawaii to be there with her because Fran is going through chemotherapy for ovarian cancer and couldn't travel at this time. One redeeming note, if there can be one in this situation, the man who did this to her is in jail. Also her two children weren't there when it happened.
This ordeal is so surreal. You only hear about this kind of incident happening in the news or movies not to someone in your own family. My sister is a pillar of strength and her son is truly a man among men for the way he's been there for his mother. I know you all have your own family ordeals, but I wanted to let you know about Sarah since some of you knew her and my family.
love, MJ"
No such luck. If they don't find him crazy, he'll still be well cared for, for a very long time.
My prayers are with Fran and her family.
Your sister, yourself, and your family are in my prayers today.

It's over.
I just got off the phone with MJ and her sister, Fran passed away several hours ago at home, surrounded by family and friends.
MJ said to thank you all for your prayers and kind words during both of these ordeals.
Rest in God's loving arms, Frannie.....

Rest in peace Fran. May the Lord bless you and keep, may He make His face shine upon you and be gracious unto you, and give you peace. Lord, we also ask that you bless the little children that Fran and Sara are leaving behind. We ask that you watch over them and let them know how much they are loved. Amen
PRayers sent for you and your family. How sad this story is.
God Bless.
May God bless all the loved ones who are dealing with Frannie's homegoing.
Fran is in my prayers this evening, as are all of those who mourn her passing.
From my friend, MJ, who is babysitting Sarah's baby boy tonight, in Oregon......
This was the email I received early Tuesday AM........
"My dear MN friends,
My beloved older and only sister Fran died this morning. I was by her side holding her hand. Then she raised her arms, I knew she was getting a big hug from our dad. I'm sure my niece Sarah was there too. We will miss her. Thanks for your thoughts and prayers, and especially being my friends.
love and hugs,
MJ"

Prayers up for the entire family.
Hey....I just got an email from my friend, MJ, Josiah's great-aunt...
Believe it or not, a year has gone by since he was born (1 year old tomorrow) and he's doing great, looking good and happy and healthy.
She sent me a picture, but I don't have a place to post it to, nor the savvy to pull it off. You'll just have to take my word for it!!!
God is good!
