We would like to thank everyone for their support, prayers, love, donations of food, time, monies to Megan Colvin’s Region’s Bank Account, fund raising efforts on her behalf, donations of blood and platelets, but mostly for the many, many prayers that have gone up on behalf of Megan , Michael, the girls, the baby, and our families. Every day, your prayers and God’s grace sustains our strength when we are weary; brings us calm and peace, when we are anxious; and surrounds us with love and compassion, when we are low. Keep up the good work and prayers; and may God richly bless you all.
