Our English teacher volunteer, Gwen Kirby, came this year knowing her dad had been diagnosed with cancer in November 2007. She received word in March that he wasn't responding to treatments and they wanted her to come home in April. Her plane ticket was changed to April 11th and she planned to spend the rest of 2008 with her mom and dad in Virginia. On April 8th we had a going away party for Gwen and prayed over her. Her brother made it home from Iraq the evening of the 8th. On April 9th Gwen received word her dad had passed that morning. Please pray for Gwen, her mom, her brother, and sister. The coming days will be very hard for them.
