[Magdalen] Prayer Request

[Sibyl Smirl]

Prayer for Jeff and Tracy rising!

The year that I was nine, my grandmother died of a stroke a couple of 
weeks before Christmas, and my step-grandfather, her husband, ate his 
shotgun a couple of weeks after Christmas.  I have never really liked 
Christmas since then (though I could get flashes of it), and for years 
blamed my winter Clinical Depression on that.  I have found it more 
complicated of recent years.  Do Jeff and Tracy have young children?
