[Magdalen] Anyone Here?

[Ginga Wilder]

Hi Judy,
I am sorry to hear of Bill's injury and slow recovery.  Also, to hear of
your friend's debilitating infections.  Both Bill and your friend will be
in my prayers -- and you, too.  Sometimes being the caregiver is terribly
difficult.  Sending love and hugs your way.

I was thinking of you and Bill and Renee this past Sunday, which was the
7th anniversary of Ginny Wilder's ordination to the priesthood.  We were so
thankful to share that with our listmates, as well as friends and family
from Summerville.  I looked at all the photos from that day and my heart
warmed when I saw all the clergy leaning in around Ginny to lay hands on
her as she was made a priest in God's church.  An alleluia moment.

Love you and Bill,
Ginga
