Marlene,
You are a faithful member of Immanuel and the Bell Choir. Bob was also faithful as a communion assistant and a great supporter of music at Immanuel. God too is faithful. He will not allow His children to suffer above that which they are able. But with the suffering, make ways to bear it. Your Immanuel family prays with you, cries with you, and lovingly supports you in this time of great need.
