Please pray for the B family. Most recently we have had three deaths within a month, March. The decreased individuals’ age ranged from 34-60 years old. They left behind a hug family that included father, mothers, children, grandchildren, husband, and wives. My cousin Joyce is the mother of the 34-year-old decreased son. Joyce is becoming very ill and has not stop crying since her son death. She has very little to nothing to eat. I especially solicit prayers on her behalf; the grief is overwhelming. Her health has become of great concern to the family. Please, please remember Amee, Bruce, and Li M, the deceased family members ...
