Prayers for DeDee Daly and her Daughter and Son-in-law

DeDee asks prayers for her daughter Terry Ross and her son-in-law Jeff Ross who have contracted the current “flu” that is passing around.

And she also asks prayer for her “pinched nerve” in her back which is being looked after at Grady.
May our gracious and merciful God grant swift relief to Terry, Jeff, and DeDee as they deal with their diseases. AMEN

Kathleen Smith, who is Charles Smith’s widow, asks to be added to our prayer list. She has recently been diagnosed with stage 3 metastatic breast cancer. She is not tolerating the chemotherapy very well.

May our gracious God uphold Kathleen as she struggles with this terrible illness. AMEN

Update and a New Prayer Request

Linda Heid updates us on Wyatt Baker the junior high school lad with an intra-cerebral problem that is still eluding diagnosis despite continued testing and is becoming increasingly painful.

May God give his physicians a breakthrough in this matter and may our good Lord lift this affliction from him. AMEN

She also asks prayers for the family of Pat Boyce who was an Olentangy school system coach and teacher and who died on 5 March 2019 leaving behind his wife and three children. How unutterably sad for them.
May our gracious and merciful God be with this family in their passage through this grief-stricken time. AMEN

Update and New Prayer Requests

The Wyman’s ask for prayers for their son-in-law James Myers who has developed pneumonia. You all may recall that James had a bone marrow transplant about two years ago and had been doing fairly well. He is expected to be in the hospital for at least a week and off work for a month.

The Wyman’s also ask for prayers for their niece, Penny Wyman, who is to start a course of radiation therapy in the next few days followed by chemotherapy.

May our gracious and merciful God grant James and Penny good outcomes from these afflictions and minimize their pain and suffering. AMEN

Joe Kersey asks prayers for his 77 y/o brother-in-law Edwin Wilson who is rapidly descending into a state of advanced dementia; and also prayers for his 75 y/o retired physician wife Hallie (Kersey) Wilson and their son John Wilson, the two primary caregivers at this stage.

May God be merciful to all these people and the rest of their extended family as these sad events unfold. AMEN
