There really isn't anything that any of us can say or do to make this better for you except our prayers. It is through our prayers that you will feel the presence of God and his sustaining power and strength for you during this time. I would hope that you would know that during this time.... you can reach out to any and all of us and we will have the listening ear and caring heart. We are all crying with you and for you. We all really DO care. Please don't stop blogging .... we need you as much as you need us right now. We do want to know how you feel, and you can consider yourself "hugged" every day from all of us. That is the power of love.... you and your family are loved by all of us. Make your needs KNOWN.... WE NEED to know and share with you. I feel that I speak for all of Monty's friends.... Your baby is now with Jesus. You'll see her again one day. Keeping you in my own personal prayers, Rev. Sherry Scara aka Apache's hooman.
