I am going to borrow dad's caringbridge site to request prayer for some dear friends of ours (who many of you probably know). 

We, literally, grew up with the Wingard family.  All of us kids were in close range to one another and Karen and Larry were the first friends that mom and dad found in the town of Kittanning (or who found mom and dad perhaps). 

I am asking for prayer for Jeremy, Emily (his lovely wife), their son Elijah and especially little Maren, thier princess of a daughter.  She is two years old and has recently been diagnosed with Leukemia.  She currently undergoing treatment at the Children's Hosptial in Pittsburgh. 

Please lift this sweet little girl and her family up in your prayers. 

Here is her blog, so that you can stay up to date on her progress as well as leave messages.

May God enfold you in his arms Jeremy, Emily, Elijah and Maren. 

Lynn (and family)
