Prayers are requested for Dottie Zilliox who on Friday had open heart surgery to replace an aortic valve with a prosthetic.  She is still in critical care and they had to do two surgeries on her back to back as she had a lot of bleeding.  They went back in and discovered an aneurysm on one vein and a problem with another tearing open.  Please pray for God's special healing for Dottie from these two very major surgeries.

Please keep Maricar Sharper and family in your prayers as Maricar's father passed away very suddenly this morning from a massive heart attack.

Prayers are requested for Linda Snyder's father who had triple bypass surgery yesterday which lasted about five hours.  The doctors felt he did very well throughout the surgery.  If everything goes well and he has no setbacks, he may be able to go home as early as Friday.  Pray for his successful recovery from this surgery.

Thank you to everyone for their prayers for Ronnie Abell.  Ronnie did pass away this morning at around 12:30 a.m.  He was surrounded by family - his daughter arrived from college in time to see him.  Brenda and Rebecca will need strength to get through the next few days as well as the weeks to come.  Please keep them close to your heart and in your daily prayers.
