For Alexis: this is Ms Ronda who knew you from Aunt Melanie’s house years ago. I am so happy to see that God protected you and your friend from great harm in this accident. I praise Him for His provision and pray that you do well in your recovery.
For the Grassman and Canning families: I pray that you will seek comfort during this time of loss and injury from the only one who can give true comfort…Jesus Christ. I will be praying for Kristopher’s complete recovery.
