For all who are ill, and those who care for them: especially Dwight Adema; Jacqueline Tebaldi, mother of Michele Tebaldi and grandmother of David and Michael Raymond; may God’s Holy Light bring them healing, strength, and hope.

For all who have died: especially for Beth Greengo; Jerry Petrini, great-uncle of Lauren Milkie; Dale Vaughn, father of Kelly Vaughn and grandfather of Angelina Vaughn; that they may share in the light and peace of God’s presence forever, and God’s consolation may be with their families and friends in their grief.
