This does not realluy relate to GENEALOGY but, I have made some very good friends via this LIST and I do want to share this email with you all. This email is to let everyone know that we are heading to Marietta ASAP, no later than 3:00 pm today. Dad is in VERY BAD CONDITION at Marietta Mem. Hosp. in the ICU unit. The Dr.s took his feeding tube out, and are taking him off the resperator. It is only going to be a matter of time before the Lord calls him home. It could be an hour or two, or maybe a day, but Dad's time of earth is very near to the end......He will soon be with the Lord, where he will suffer no more. As soon as I get to Marietta, I am heading straight for the hospital. If anyone needs to get ahold of me or Kevin call my cell phone: 215-962-6854. I'm shutting down my computer now, and will not be checking it until I get back here to Philly. I will try to get all the look-up requests taken care of as soon as I return.

Debbie, I am sure that I echo the sentiments of all those on the list who you have assisted over the years. The loss of a parent is always difficult, but your outlook seems to be upbeat. You have my prayers that you and the rest of your family can maintain such a healthy state of mind in this difficult time. For Debbie and family: Lord, accept Debbie's cup of stress and fill it with quiet peace. Lord, accept Debbie's cup of criticism that You may fill it with encouragement. Lord, accept Debbie's cup of resentment that You may fill it with forgiveness. Lord, accept Debbie's cup of fear and worry and over control that You may fill it with trust. Lord, accept Debbie's cup of loneliness and selfishness that You may give me Your cup of communion. Lord, accept Debbie's cracked and crumbling cup that You may remold me and make me strong. Lord, accept Debbie's cup of pain - the cup You know too well. Lord, fill Debbie's cup with thanksgiving and hope that someday her cup of tears will be filled with joy.
