To Marci and family, it may seem trite to say our prayers are with you, but we know that unto them whom we cannot reach give a comforting hug, our prayers to our Heavenly Father and through Him, have no bounds. Continue faithful in Jesus you who has been handed the baton of faith to continue this race on your father's behalf in Jesus' Name. "Being confident of this very thing, that He which has begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ." Phil 1:6
