" Dear Family, I am a cousin to Loretta. Your families are on several prayer lists here in Washington for peace and healing. May you know that God's hand holds you and your loved ones.

...Where can I go from Your Spirit?
Or where can I flee from Your presence?
If I ascend into heaven, You are there;
If I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there. If I take the wings of the morning, And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,Even there Your hand shall lead me, And Your right hand shall hold me... from Ps. 139
