As you now are quite literally in the "valley of the shadow of death," may our prayers be heard for your protection and comfort as we await decisions by mortals on your future.
We continue our prayers for that safety, for protection against those dark forces of evil who would see a similar fate as achieved with Terri and failed with Janet Rivera, Sam Golubchuk and others. May we all persevere as did Sophie Scholl and may we prevail.
