[Magdalen] Prayer Request - Roland a\nd Shirley Orr

[Ginga Wilder]

How sad. Lord, have mercy.   I am praying for Roland and for Shirley.

Roger, is an assisted care facility available through national health
system?  I may be jumping to conclusions, but their situation does not
sound good at all.  Even if Shirley makes a full recovery.
