Sad News

This has nothing to do with my trip to Russia but I want to share this sad news with you and ask for your prayers for the family. My friend Frances called me about 7:30 this morning to tell me that her best friend, Lanora, passed away from a heart attack at 5:30 this morning. Lanora's daughter Carly was with her when she had the attack and called 911 but there was nothing they could do. Of course, it's too soon to know about arrangements. Carly will be with loving friends but it will be hard for her to deal with all this; please keep her in your prayers.
