Thank you for your prayers for my husband, Larry Epps. He had a pacemaker put in and not a defibrillator like we thought. He is getting better . He is in rehab at Boone Hospital in Columbia. He has some hospital delirium because he has been in the hospital since April 16. His daughter is here this weekend. We talked to his kidney doctor yesterday and they will start him on dialysis this week. Pray that he tolerates it also please pray for Rachel today. She goes back to Chicago this afternoon. Pray for a safe trip for her.
Yesterday while doing lacto Dena in the morning, praying the scriptures what stood out to me was be not afraid and Fr. Daniel‘s meditation. I believe God is doing a powerful work in Larry. Thank you for your prayers for him. I just wanted to give you an update.

Please pray for the repose soul of my uncle Paul who passed away on Friday May 1st, 2026. He woke up in the middle of the night with a stomach ache. My cousin took him to the hospital on Wed. He developed respiratory issues while hospitalized. He was intubated on Friday and died immediately. His body could not handle the intubation.

For Sophia,
I experienced something I never had in my almost eight decades.
The officiant, Father Higgins, following the closing prayers at the end of the Mass called a young lady, I guess about 9-10 years old and her family forward.
Father Higgins:
baptized Sophia,
confirmed Sophia,
gave Sophia First Holy Communion and
finally administered "Anointing of the Sick” to Sophia.
I gave the family one of the bottles of Holy Water I collected during my Rome Basilica Holy Door pilgrimage last November including sacred water from Lourdes.
What I heard in side conversations Sophia is fighting leukemia. There was noticeable hair loss on her scalp.
Blessings and Thank you all.

I want to thank everyone who has prayed for me. My quarterly appointment and scans showed no signs of cancer. I will continue to have issues with dry mouth. Please continue to pray that the dry mouth symptoms will lessen. May God bless you!

Please continue to pray for my husband, Larry Epps. He went to rehab and had problems with his heart. He has sick sinus syndrome. He had surgery Saturday for a pacemaker. The drs. Are trying to control his heart rate with medication first. There is some discussion that he may need a defibrillator too but he has had so many procedures already.
He needs to go back to rehab when it is safe for him.
He hasn’t had a drink for several days now. His problems stem from that. He also has stage 4 kidney disease.
