I am au struck at this news. Our most wonderful God has taken one of his chosen home, which is the best medicine of all. God, has told us, that in order to live we must learn how to die, in Him and with Him, for everlasting eternal life. I didn't know Mrs. Marian, but I am sure she lived the best life possible, considering the circumstances. We have also been told, that God takes care of those, that can't take care of themselves. I believe this fully. When there are no logical answers to our questions and when we are at our lowest point in our battles with ARD, God was there, is there, and will continue to be there. I do pray for Mrs. Marian's husband and family, that they be blessed with courage and strength at this hour of sorrow, but I also, pray for their rejoicing, in knowing that Mrs. Marian is at home with our Loving Father. In loving memory of Mrs. Marian Lewis...Renee Madron
