Her mom is my coworker and friend. Tonya's mother, Ann Adams, who received a liver transplant a few yrs ago is having problems as well and will be undergoing biopsies and other testing to see if she is experiencing rejection of the new liver or not. This family needs all our prayers."  (Ann is Kathy Daniels' sister-in-law, Tonya is her niece.)

"Please also add all my nursing students as most are suffering personal illnesses, caring for parents with incurable cancers, and trying to care for parents, children, themselves, and their loved ones while trying to succeed in school to obtain their nursing licenses to better support their families. It has been a particularly difficult time for most of this class."
"Also please pray for my friend Sue's friend in Indiana. Her friend is the mother of 5 children ages 12 to 20. Early this week, the 18 yr. old was taking the children to school on icy roads and skidded into another vehicle, whicT hit on the passenger side. the 18 and 14 yr. old boys on the driver side were fine. The 16 year old boy on front passenger side suffered a fractured pelvis. The 12 year old daughter was trapped in the back seat between the two cars. Rescue workers were able to cut the 16 year old boy out, but as they did, the car burst into flames, seriously burning the young man, but incinerating his 12-year old sister. The funeral is Saturday. The 18 year-old brother who was driving blames himself and the family is devastated by this. Please pray for them and for my friend Sue as she flies to and from the funeral in bad weather."
