Joan Sider, from the UB church in Toronto, writes, “Thanks for your prayers for the entire family. Stan [son] says everyone is doing well, and because of Ruth’s recent surgery, everyone had been in to see her in recent days, including some cousins from a distance away. Please continue to pray for God’s comfort and strength for each one.”
