[Magdalen] Prayer Request for my old friend

[James Handsfield]

As disabled as Marcy was, she never LOOKED ill, and probably would not have liked being labeled ‘sickly’ (nor would I, for that matter).  It seems to me that it describes appearance rather than condition, but that may just be me.

And getting old is a bitch, ain’t it.
