Hand in Hand

Last week we recieved news that a friend of ours who has been battling cancer for the last couple of years had taken a turn for the worse.
Since Saturday we have had the chance to go and see her three times.
While sitting with her on Monday evening she woke up and reached out for Melody's hand
I took this shot while she was lying their hand in hand with Melody
Over the years Cheryl Ann has been a blessing to so many people both here in Canada and in Africa where she had been a missionary for so long
Even now as she lies in a hospital bed she continues to impact the lives of those who come to visit her. Please keep her and her family in your prayers as they have now moved her into Pallitive Care
