The dear mother of one of my close friends and co-workers needs our prayers.
This lovely Catholic widow is the beloved mother of 11 children from a very close family. She has recently had medical tests come back that revealed something that is likely cancerous in her lung, as well as a couple of questionable appearances in her heart cavity and spine. ( am not good at medical terminology.)
Marcella is lively, energetic and full of life. When her youngest daughter of the same name (my friend and co-worker) proposed that the two of them meet up in Italy last fall, the daughter didn't have to ask twice. Mom was packed and on that plane in a blink and had no problem running all over that country for a little over two weeks.
I hear that she is handling this news very well and taking a very positive approach.
Please include Marcella and her family in your prayers for complete healing and for comfort and strength for her family.
Please also send prayers for the youngest daughter and my close friend (also named Marcella) who is here in Iraq having to deal with this from far away. Please pray for her to have strength and peace. Thank you, prayer warriors.
Prayers on the way.
