UPDATE ON STATE GRANDFATHER LEONARD BLAKELY:
He is still at Good Sam. They drained the fluid. They are now waiting on the results of chest x-rays to make sure his lungs are clear enough for him to go home. Those results will either let them enjoy their 59th wedding anniversary at home tonight or they are going to have to wait 5-6 days before the celebration. Please continue to keep him in your prayers. Cards may be sent to: Leonard Blakely, 11109 127th St Ct E, Puyallup, WA 98374
Bless those who mourn, eternal God, with the comfort of your love that they may face each new day with hope and the certainty that nothing can destroy the good that has been given. May their memories become joyful, their days enriched with friendship, and their lives encircled by your love
Amen
