Sad News

If you look back to a blog I did on May 21 you will see it is entitled "Fourth Trail Visit." It has a picture attached to it of Nephew and I posing with the Lennon family of Pomona, NY. The love of Nephew's life is the youngest daughter of Owen and Rose Lennon, Rachel. 

    The picture contains all of the Lennon children, as Owen Sr. is holding up his phone and Rachel appears on its screen as he did a Face Time with her for the picture. She was in S Korea, where Adam had been for 4 1/2 years, teaching English. Nephew finished his contract early so as to walk the AT and Rachel planned to return to the USA at the end of August after completing her contract. Hence Nephew wanted to be finished by no later than the second week of September.

    Well, if you have watched the news this week you noted that a C130 crashed in MS killing 16 military personnel. Owen Lennon Jr. was one of them. Adam has already traveled to be with the family in Pomona. Rachel arrived in NYC yesterday afternoon and Adam was there to receive her with other family.

    I ask that you please pray for the Lennon family during this time of sorrow. I considered it a deep privilege to experience the love and hospitality of the Lennon family and I am grieving for them and interceding on their behalf with the only One, the living God, who can meet them at every point of need.
