  8. I love you and I love your family! Your mom has been such a sweet friend to me since we moved in. When you're talking to her, she has the unique ability to make you feel like your conversation is the most important one she has had that day. She has shown so much love and concern for me and my family. I'm grateful for her love and prayers for us when my dad was so sick and in the hospital last year. Our family has seen many miracles come from faithful prayer and the healing hand of the Lord. We are adding our love, faith and prayers to all the others for your mom and your family. Please call me if you need anything and let me know what I can do for you and your family. I'd love to have the kids come play, or clean the house, or whatever you need! - love, kristie

  11. Everyone: I believe you can call any temple and ask for a name to be added to the prayer rolls. So in addition to your prayers, call or go to the temple in your district (not every temple on the planet-yours is enough!) and have her name added.

    Thanks to Bishop Johns for putting her name on in Seattle.

  16. I don't know your mom, or you, or your family - but I know several people who know and adore ALL of you. I have been praying for your mom's heart, and from the looks of this picture I see two hearts overflowing with love for each other. God give you strength and rest so that you can be there to continue to support your dad and to be there the second you are able to be with your mom. Be strong and of good courage....

  18. Pregnant women should not look at this picture. I've been crying heavily for about five minutes. What a picture of the love we all hope to have with our spouses as the seasons pass. We are praying for you and your family!

  19. Oh, Elise! This picture says it all. I am heartbroken that your mom and your family must go through this. I am inspired by you & your family's spirituality and tremendous faith. I know that the Lord will provide you a miracle if it is to be. You are all in my prayers. You're mom is such a wonderful lady & I really enjoyed getting to know her at your baby shower. She has a great sense of humor!

    Love,
    Jenae O'Rielley

  20. I am so moved by this blog. There is so much love and support out there for your family. I have known Betsy ever since your family moved to Frisco. I have admired her strength and beauty (inside and out). She doesn't deserve this. I know Heavenly Father has his hands in all things and loves her greatly. I will continue to pray for her and your family, Love to all. Angelica
