Prayers and Thoughts for a Dear Friend

The unimaginable has happened, my good friend Rachael has lost one of her shining stars. Her daughter, Hannah, passed away yesterday (the 19th). She is 5 years old, and just as beautiful as can be.

Here is her blog, if you get a chance, she can use all the energy you can muster.
