Prayers for Denise Burchfield
Linda Heid writes requesting prayer for her sister’s friend Denise Burchfield whose 29 y/o son Brendon has recently died.
As horrible and sad as this is, it comes on top of a life filled with multiple tragic events: orphaned when her mother died in a car accident; oldest brother committing suicide when she was in grade school; other brother dead in a car wreck sixteen years ago; long-term multiple episodes of suicidal ideation — and now this.
May our Merciful and Loving God surround her with love and peace of mind and spirit in this latest travail. AMEN.

Barb Hickcox writes with news about her son Michael:
“Just wanted to update you about Michael. He has completed chemo and radiation and is waiting for the surgery. He was out in LA for a PET scan and genetic test and his doctors were very pleased that the tumor had shrunk and he gained 5 pounds. He has lost 40 pounds and a lot of muscle and hair although not all the hair.
“He talks to the surgeon next Thursday and should have a date and and an idea of what the surgery will entail. In the meantime his appetite has improved and he is trying to gain a few more pounds. He is with Charlotte and me at the lake in VT and his partner has stayed in LA for the better internet connection for his work. Michael continues to work and has had a good year in his business despite his illness.
“I’ll keep you posted and in the meantime, thanks to you and all of you on the prayer list for your prayers. We all really appreciate all of them and they are working so far. Thanks,
Barb”
Thanks be to God. AMEN

Update on Milt Wyman
Our Rector writes with sad news about Milt Wyman:
“Marlyn Wyman reports that despite Milt’s optimism and completion of chemotherapy for esophageal cancer, Milt is not doing well. He can only eat a little, not enough to keep him nourished. He still has a feeding tube to his stomach through which is provided his main nourishment.
“There may be a few additional radiation treatments, but the doctors report that surgery is not an option due to Milt’s other cardiac conditions.
“Please keep Milt and Marlyn and their family and friends in your prayers for strength and healing, and for the doctors and nurses serving him.”
May God be merciful to Milt in this time of his Passion, and embrace and support Marlyn. AMEN

Prayers for Lynn Hlavin
Barb Hickcox writes, “I know many people will remember Lynn Hlavin who attended the 0800 service. She had a stroke today and was able to call her son although her sight was failing and she couldn’t feel her legs. She rapidly went downhill and her son Mark, who lives around the corner, called the squad which arrived in five minutes and took her to Advent Health in Orlando. Within an hour and a half she had few stroke symptoms left. It is such a miracle for stroke victims to get clot busters.
“She and Mark are praising God and front line hospital workers for this miracle. He posted a picture on Facebook of her in her hospital bed smiling normally. She’ll be in the hospital for a few days for observation and treatment.”
Thanks be to God, and may He grant Lynn a continuing swift recovery. AMEN
