As you know, Conor MacNessa (Tom (Doc) Mitchell) passed away in January and was finally laid to his final rest in Arlington National Cemetery April 10. Yesterday I was informed that his youngest son John died in his sleep the night before last. He was only in his 20's. Obviously the family is devastated.

God love Tom, God Bless and comfort his family, and God Bless you all. 'Til Valhallah, Brother

Asking for prayers for my 77 y/o Mother-in-law, who had a stroke Sunday morning. She holds down two part-time jobs for the Church, which she will probably now lose due to her condition and the need for extended rehab.
