I’m asking for prayers for a very close friend of mine. His mom died last night and the family is devastated. She had been like a second mom to me, and loved me like I was her own.

She had liver problems and they got worse over the years. Last night she just died without warning, she had been married for many years to the love of her life.

He cherished Kay like she was a rare and precious jewel but it wasn’t always like that. They met when she was 14 and he was 16, then he went down a dark road of drink and drugs.

He told me often that he heard God calling him, but he ignored it as long as he could. Then one day he found hisself hungover and his wife beaten. That’s when he hit his knees and begged for help. He said he would do anything asked of him, and do it happily with Kay by his side.

He became a pastor and went from church to church. They never kept him long because he never took pay for it, he said you don’t make money on God’s Word. They didn’t trust him, and this whole time Kay is right beside him, loving him through everything.

Now he’s alone and so lost that he doesn’t know what to do. Their children and grandchildren are beyond devastated, she took care of everything so you can imagine the chaos.

I’m sorry this is so long, but I truly think of them as surrogate family. She knew some of what I suffered and was the one that got me away from it. I never told her, but she knew..... and she always loved me, and even as recently as days ago, made sure I was ok. So every one of your prayers are precious and appreciated ❤️❤️❤️❤️
