A prayer request for the Edmonds family, Randy, in particular. Randy is the beloved brother of Helen Edmonds, a long-time musician to the churches in our region. Helen died suddenly this week. She had a history of heart disease and thyroid cancer, both of which caused her to endure many surgeries and extensive treatments. She had been doing very well for the past several years, visiting our congregation only three weeks ago, seemingly in good health, and always wearing an exceedingly positive attitude. We have not been told how she died. We are grief stricken. How we will miss the musical talent God laid upon that woman, through voice, piano and organ. But more than that, we will miss her sweet influence of how one is to act in the midst of great trials. She never wavered because she knew Who held her up every minute of the day.
Randy especially needs our prayer for comfort. He and Helen had a younger sister who died just a few years ago. It is a most trying time for this dear man and those who love Helen.
