Dearest Irene,
I am shocked to hear about your recent diagnosis. I will be praying for you. Please let me know if there is anything I can do. You have been such a great and fun friend to my mother. Monte Vista isn’t the same with out you.

Much Love & Prayers,
Sara

Dear Irene:

Bill and I are so sorry to hear you are sick! We know you are in the best hands medically; but more importantly, you are in God’s hands, and we know He is holding you tight!

Know that we are praying for your FULL recovery - and also praying for strength and peace for you and Dave as you go on this journey.

Also, you will be covered in prayer by a group of women who love Walk Thru the Bible and who meet each month to pray for the ministry; plus I’m sending your info to a special group of donors who love to pray for Walk Thru and everyone involved in the ministry.

I hope you will be able to actually “feel” all the prayers being lifted to our Lord for you, and that you will also feel His arms around you, loving you and healing you.

We love you!
Judy & Bill Ginn

You and your family are in my prayers, Irene.  Your presence at Monte Vista was like a ray of sunshine touching us all.  I’m asking God to supply you with everything you need to get through this challenge successfully.  May peace in all of your hearts reign and God’s love wrap around each one of you, keeping you close in His care.
Love, Sue

Dave and Irene, I am saddened to learn of Irene’s illness.  Although I have not met Irene I know how hard it is when the heart of your family is challenged by illness.  I will remember your family in my prayers.  May God bless and keep you.

Dear Irene and Dave,

So sorry to hear of Irene’s condition.  This is indeed a severe challenge and we hope and pray for full recovery.  Dave, thanks for including us in your mail list.  Irene, God bless you and give you the grace, courage and endurance to fight this disease.  We will be thinking of your often and remembering you in our prayers.  Our God is capable of anything.

Love,

Irene & Dave:
We’re praying that today will bring good news and the process toward treatment begins.

You are joys in our lives, and it pains us to see you sick. But you are a source of inspiration and encouragement as we see you living out your faith daily.

I know that you honor God with your love and faithfulness for Him and each other and in your testimonies of Him in your daily interactions with the doctors, nurses and staff at UCSF.

We can’t wait to see you again soon.

Bob & Susan

Dave & Irene:
We are in daily prayer for Irene and for you also Dave. We pray for Irene’s healing and that He continue to hold you up in body and spirit. You are loved so much by many,......... an you have an army of prayers at yor disposal.

Philippians 4:6-7
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Love, Larry & Chris Gilbert <><

Dear Irene -

Kim and I have been praying for you since I first heard of this from Dave several weeks ago.  May you feel embraced not just by all of our prayers, but by the arms of our Lord, whose boundless love will surely carry you during this trying time.

Peace,
Gil

Irene & Dave,

We just learned of Irene’s condition, and are at a loss for words. Irene’s disease sounds wickedly brutal, and we pray that she has the physical and spiritual strength to endure what will be a daunting time ahead.

The juxtaposition of your Christian faith with the cutting-edge medical modalities that are being deployed in this battle is jarring. Walking with Christ and leading exemplary lives provides you with the courage and optimism to meet the challenges ahead. We would like to thank God for His divine guidance, that surely must have inspired the scientists and physicians to investigate and discover the treatments that are being brought to bear.

Dear Dave and Irene,

Please know that I carry you and your daughters in my heart everyday.  I pray for a quick remission, and I know that Irene has enough strength and faith to win the fight.

God Bless,

Leslie Strohm

Dave and Irene, our prayers are continuous for you both, and that God will keep you both close to His bosom.  We know that He has a perfect plan for each of us, and we know that His will be done.  It is a joy to have each of you as friends, and we cherish the days from when Irene was at the front desk of MVCS with her cheerful smile and greeting.

We will share your prayer requests with our families and friends across the US and rest assured that the power of prayer will continue to strengthen you both.

God bless you,

Andy and Elda Robinson

Dear Irene,
Each time I’ve had an opportunity to talk with you at PC has always been a joy. It has always been obvious to me that your beauty goes beyond the physical.

I’ve always felt such warmth and sincerity from your hugs and brief conversations. It is a blessing to bring you and your family before the Lord each day.

In Chirst Love,
Pauline Estell

Sending my prayers and love to you!

Even though we can’t be there in person, please know that we love you LOTS and will continue to keep you in prayer. He IS able!

Shalom; our Lord’s peace to you!
