An update on Nancy Holland:
    She finished surgery around 5:30 PM last night after 4 1/2 hours. The doctor said everything went well and she will just need to take it easy and recover. She is at Indian Path in room 603.
Please pray for Nancy’s recovery without complications.
Blessings,
Shaunna Milton
