P.S. I like to think that all of us in the world are like one big family in a way that when one gets sick we should do our utmost to pray for that person. Even though we may number in the billions there is One in the cosmos who knows our problems & our concerns & whose arms of faith & love as never too small or narrow to unfold us all exp. in times llike these & whose presence is not so far away that we never feel that we are alone. Because He cares.
Again Love Cynthia [redacted]

Sincerly yours, Cynthia [redacted]
