Esther 3:5 – 6 “When Haman saw that Mordecai would not kneel down or pay him honor, he was enraged. Yet having learned who Mordecai’s people were, he scorned the idea of killing only Mordecai.

Mark (my dear husband) is with Mike and Jennifer. They just took Chloe into surgery at around 10:00 p.m. I have it on good report that she was looking quite beautiful, and as sweet as ever. Thank you for your continued prayers. I will keep you posted as I hear things. –r
