From Wendy Fowler:
Would you please add the family of Renee Nicholson to the prayer link. Renee was the mother of one of my first grade students. She passed away last night at her home. She was fairly young, so this was a shock to everyone. Elizabeth, my student, is a sweet little girl. Please be in prayer for her as she travels through this difficult time in her life.
