Our dear friend, Stacie Rose Richards, 39 years old, battled cancer for two years and recovered. A year later the cancer returned and claimed her life within 3 months. We are glad that she is no longer in pain, and in the arms of Jesus, but we miss her tremendously. During her first battle of cancer and for the last three months, there was a tireless group of people, including family, who volunteered to care for her two children (Zoe, 6 & Leon, 4).

As Darin makes adjustments to his life, in order to raise his kids without their sweet mother, we need to continue to keep the family in our prayers. God has already answered prayers when Darin's schedule was recently shifted so he could have his evenings free to be with his children. Kitty (Stacie's mom) will continue homeschooling the kids every day which will provide stability for the children and continued healing and joy for her as she grieves the loss of her daughter. In the meantime, there are some hours between the time school ends and when Darin gets home when childcare is needed. In an effort to continue supporting the children, this fundraising page has been set up. Please give as you feel led.  Thank you!
