International Ellis

Ellis is still recovering from her surgery and seems to have more energy each day. She's not up to pictures just yet, so this is a good time to catch up on thanking some of our friends who have gone out of their way to pray for and support Ellis. WAY out of their way.

Richard Hess, a nice man who works with my mother, traveled to the Holy Land recently and kindly took a prayer for Ellis that was placed in the Western Wall. He brought us back these pictures. Thank you so much!

Also, a long-time friend of our family, Ernie Murphy, was recently in Rome and sent us the message that she had visited the Sistine Chapel and said a special prayer for Ellis. How thoughtful! And especially meaningful for Greg and me since we started dating in Italy many years ago and have precious memories of Rome, Venice, Siena, and many other towns. (But that's a whole other blog sometime...)

Thank you, everyone, for the continued prayers! We hope the next surgery in six weeks won't be so hard on Ellis.
