What a great story. How wonderful Dave and his wife are to help this family --without even knowing it first. Bless you and your family , and have a great Holiday.
Now I have to get another kleenex.

The fact that you had no way of knowing that your work would mean so much and give so much comfort to Liz's family. How kind of you to push hard enough to get her quilts done in time. You are an inspiration to us all. Thanks.

Some people are very fortunate in that life presents such wonderful opportunities. Not only is the receiver blessed, but more so is the giver.

Beautiful story!

"The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.' Matt 25:40 NIV

God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people and continue to help them. Heb 6:10 NIV

What a blessing you are to that family and such an opportunity to serve!
