Dear Friends,
Shannon, Meghan and I are so very grateful to all of you for the most generous gift. You have expressed your compassion for us with cards, phone calls, visits, and now in a tangible and practical way. Paul wrote to the Galatians, "Bear one another's burdens and so fulfill the law of Christ." In so many ways you have helped us to bear this burden. We are grateful.
Meghan is working through her semester at S.M.U. long distance. Shannon's lungs are well and her burns (hands and face) are healing exceptionally well. We cherish our friendship with you and will always consider Sylva "home," and all of you our "family." God bless.
In love and gratitude,
Ed Beddingfield
