Update On Hannah S.

I forgot this when I sent out the 1st Hannah update....

>
> The girls and I are home. We got here about 10:00 tonight. We are just going to take it one day at a time and try to catch up a little before we have to go back. Today was the most amazing day for our family. It is so true that the Lord is always with us and that he will meet us wherever we are.... here we are in this hospice facility and he met us there and we had CHURCH!!!! It was a most memorable afternoon for all of us! Leaving tonight was the hardest thing I have ever done. Please pray for me and the girls as we are home for a few days that we will continue to experience the peace that we have felt over the last several days. God is good all the time. Maria ....
