Blaine's Progress: Goodbye

Good Quotes...

Daily, constantly, we choose by our desires, our thoughts, and our actions whether we want to be blessed or cursed, happy or miserable.

- Ezra Taft Benson

Do not pray for easy lives. Pray to be stronger men! Do not pray for tasks equal to your powers. Pray for power equal to your tasks.

-Phillips Brooks

You better not get discouraged!! Someone, somehow we have to keep a strong outlook. Nancy and I were in NY City eating dinner 3 blocks away when they tried to set off the bomb in Times Square on Saturday. They failed and we are still here!! The moral is near misses don't count. Trust that life will prevail. God is looking out for us.

-Vic St. Pierre

Goodbye

Today is a sad day. Yesterday evening, at about 7:30 PM, my brother Brian (the one who is waiting for a liver transplant), walked upstairs to tell his wife, Rainee, that supper was ready. He went in to find her very still, and realized that she had passed away in her sleep. She was 44 years old. This was very unexpected. Brian and Rainee - Lorraine Marie Currier Farrell - are the proud parents of a 19 year old daughter and a 16 year old son, as well as a 22 year old niece they raised from a young age. Please keep them in your prayers, as their burdens are heavy right now.

Thanks. Marleigh
