Thru the years, they can actually become members of your
extended family. We lost ours of 30+ years just yesterday
at the age of 94. She was a hard working woman, pioneer in the community and of Christian faith. They are missed.

As most of you know, I moved back to MA from FL back in 2015 to take care of Mom, who subsequently passed away. Now I live in a small mobile home community on the South Shore, and in the year I have been here, have come to know my neighbors.
Our community has had no shortage of tragedy, but recently there have been two that really stand out.
My next door neighbor, Melanie, has been diagnosed with lung cancer, and for the past couple of months has been enduring the most brutal course of chemo and radiation therapy I have ever seen. When I asked FReepers to pray for her, the response was wonderful. I am asking now that you continue in prayer for her and her loved ones.
Just this morning I found out that another neighbor, Mary, is in the hospital with "swelling of the brain" and pneumonia. She will be undergoing surgery and a trip to a rehab facility. She is a single mom with three boys, two of which are developmentally disabled. Family and friends are struggling to keep her home in order while she is in the hospital.
I have only been here a year, but I really care about these folks, all of whom have been very kind to me.
I promised Mary's son that I would bring this to our group of praying FReepers.
Oh, Yes. Absolutely. You got THAT right! :-)
Thank you for your prayers for my friends and neighbors. I really appreciate them!
Praying for Melanie and Mary.
I pray that you in some way share with them the Gospel of Salvation that is Christ.
I’m praying for their Salvation also, which is the most important issue.
God Bless!
Totally agreeing with you in prayer, Sister!
(((HUGS)))
Prayers for both Melanie and Mary.
May God sustain them through their trials.
Thank you so much for your prayers!
Indeed. Thank you for your prayers for my friends and neighbors.
Praying for both friends to be completely healed.
Thank You, Dear FRiend. I really appreciate it.
Melanie and Mary are now in my daily prayers. And prayers for strength to those watching over Mary’s family.
It’s always a group effort.
We give it to the Lord and He does the rest!
Prayers for all.
Notre Père qui es aux cieux,
Que ton Nom soit sanctifié, que ton règne vienne,
Que ta volonté soit faite sur la terre comme au ciel.
Donne-nous aujourd'hui notre pain de ce jour.
Pardonne-nous nos offenses, comme nous pardonnons aussi à ceux qui nous ont offensès.
Et ne nous soumets pas à la tentation, mais délivre-nous du mal.
Car c'est à Toi qu'appartiennent le règne, la puissance et la gloire,
pour les siècles des siècles. Amen
Je vous salue, Marie, pleine de grâces,
le Seigneur est avec vous, vous êtes bènie entre toutes les femmes,
et Jésus le fruit de vos entrailles est béni.
Sainte Marie, Mère de Dieu, priez pour nous pauvres pécheurs,
maintenant, et à l'heure de notre mort. Ainsi-soit-il.
Garde la Foi, mes amis! Nous nous sommes les sauveurs de la République! Maintenant et Toujours!
(Keep the Faith, my friends! We are the saviors of the Republic! Now and Forever!)
