Dear Fran and Family -
I've been keeping track of your progress through Kerstin and you've been in
my prayers everyday. I am so encouraged to hear that you are beginning to
move a bit. I am confident that God is going to see you through this, as He
has been answering our prayers thus far. You have a lot of friends across
the country praying for you. I can't wait to see you smiling and winking
again. Hopefully the lax staff can make another visit out there and I can
join them. Know that we're all thinking of you often. Keep fighting the
good fight!
Much Love,
Jen
