In your boundless compassion, console us who mourn. Give us faith to see, so that in quiet confidence we may continue our course on earth, until we are reunited with those who have gone before. Amen.

With peace and love,

Hi friends, I'm in the hospital and am now in a comfort-care room. It has been really good to spend time with my family; Rob flew up from SC on Tuesday morning. This therapy dog is named Anna; we have a great friendship. *This msg was written by Stacey & posted by her friend, Xan

Thanks for all the prayers and love!!! ❤️🙏🏻❤️
