“Is any one of you in trouble? He should pray. Is anyone happy? Let him sing songs of praise. Is any one of you sick? He should call for the elders of the church to pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise him up. If he has sinned,

he will be forgiven.” James 5: 13-15

Thank You Perhaps you sent a lovely

card, or sat quietly in a

chair. Perhaps you sent a

floral piece, if so, we saw

it there. Perhaps you

spoke words of kindness,

as only a friend could say.

Perhaps you were not

there at all, just thought of

us that day. Whatever

you did to console our

hearts, we thank you so

much, whatever the part!

Lovingly, the family of Elizabeth V. Harris
