My Mother-In-Law

Please keep my mother-in-law in your prayers. She had a stroke last Tuesday and has been in the hospital since. She has made a lot of progress but has a long road ahead of her. I've included the link to the blog Roy's brother started to keep everyone updated on her progress! We don't know what God has in store, but pray that through this trial we give Him the glory.

She is so creative......she turned them into a center piece! :)
