Well having started this thread with bad news on 27th. August I thought things could only get better. Our neighbour has had her husbands funeral & last night gave birth to her daughter, a healthy 5lb 81/2oz. Both are doing fine.
The bad news for the week is a father & daughter both lost there lives Saturday morning while at home. The police say they are not looking for anyone else in connection with the incident. He has left behind a wife & 4 other children. Although I don't know the family personally you can not help wonder how they will ever get over there loss. Prayers were said at church for them & offers of help made. The daughter had only left the local secondary school in the summer & counseling is being made avalible today for anyone who wishes to use it.
May all our thoughts be with this family.
