Cindy Womble: Our dear sister, Cindy, age 83, passed away earlier this week, with her funeral held yesterday at North Atlanta Church of Christ. Cindy was a blessing to all who knew her and, because of health challenges, had been unable to worship with us for many years. She and her husband, Buck, who passed away several years ago, touched and blessed many lives together through their faithful Christian example.

Cindy’s legacy of love, kindness, and steadfast faith continues to shine brightly in the lives of those who knew and loved her. May the Lord comfort her family and dear friends during this time of loss.

John Wood: John is in New York City for a two week stay as part of his clinical trial follow up. He continues to respond well to his pancreatic cancer treatments, with tumors continuing to shrink. Encouragingly, his oncologist has indicated that the majority of his pancreatic and liver disease is now under control.

On Thursday, John’s medical team performed a successful procedure to drain fluid buildup in his abdomen, bringing him immediate relief. Additional testing is planned, along with a one-time radiation treatment for a spot on his spine.

Alicia is thankful to be able to travel with John during this visit. Please continue praying for John’s complete healing, and for peace and strength for him, Alicia, and their entire family.

Kathy Brooks: As many of you know, Kathy has been living with multiple sclerosis for many years. She was recently diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia and began treatment on May 18. After 28 days of chemotherapy, a follow-up biopsy will be performed to evaluate her progress.

Please pray that her treatment will be effective, that side effects will be minimal, and that she will be strengthened and sustained each day. Also remember her husband, Ed, as he faithfully cares for her—praying that God’s will be done and that both will be filled with peace, strength, and encouragement during this time.

Sherry McMillan: Sherry underwent knee replacement surgery on May 14 and is recovering well. Please pray for a smooth rehabilitation, reduced swelling, effective pain management, and a swift recovery. Please also pray for strength for her husband, Kirk, as he cares for her.

Camie Pew: Mark and Patti Pews’ daughter-in-law, Camie, continues to battle recurring breast cancer. She is being treated with two different types of chemotherapy and has been resting at home. Please continue praying for Camie’s strength, comfort, and healing, and for peace and encouragement for the entire family.

Wanda Quattlebaum: On March 10, Wanda fell and fractured her femur just above the knee. After extensive surgery and a short stay in a rehabilitation facility, she returned home and is responding well to physical therapy. Please continue to pray for this dear couple and a full recovery for Wanda.

Grace Brown: Grace continues undergoing immunotherapy for lung cancer through daily medication and monthly injections. Recent scans show that all tumors are continuing to shrink and that inflammation is steadily decreasing—praise God for this encouraging progress! Please continue praying for Grace’s healing, manageable treatment side effects, and for peace and strength for Grace and her family.

Rosemary Lisby: Rosemary continues to deal with inflamed nerves in her back that affect mobility in her right leg and cause numbness in her foot. A recent injection did not provide relief, and she continues with physical therapy while exploring other treatment options. Please pray for complete healing and fully restored mobility. Also remember her husband, Greg, as he continues to care for her.

Virginia Ann Edwards (Bo Edwards’ mother): Sister Edwards, age 91, is continuing her recovery and rehab following a partial hip replacement. Please pray for her healing and for those caring for her, including Bo. Also pray that her application is approved for a place in an assisted living facility near her daughter Clair in Myrtle Beach.

Please remember in your prayers the following GC members who have ongoing health issues and are generally unable to attend worship services:

Esther Johnson: Esther has experienced improved strength and breathing through physical therapy, which has now been reduced to once a week. Please pray for continued progress for Esther as she manages Parkinson’s disease, and for Russ as he faithfully cares for her.

Bert and Joyce Blackwell: Pray for Bert’s declining health and for Joyce as his caregiver. We pray for strength for Joyce and that she can hold up physically as caregiver. Melissa Boyle is helping to coordinate meals; you may sign up to take a meal at mealtrain.com/trains/yrzl3k. Feel free to send Joyce a text of encouragement (no calls, please); she so appreciates it.

David and Carolyn Wheeler: David is battling cancer in both kidneys as well as prostate cancer. Pain is being kept under control very well with minimal pain meds, and both David and Carolyn continue to maintain wonderful, inspiring positive attitudes. Please keep this special couple in your prayers. David and Carolyn welcome cards and calls.

Wayne and Faye Tincher: Wayne and Faye, both in their early 90s, live at The Glen Villas on Highway 9 and have been part of Grace Chapel since moving to Cumming three years ago.
