Message: We will be praying for all of you! We knew friends with a little similar situation many years ago in Texas. It was mostly the cleft lip and palate. It was amazing the way the church people all made themselves available to help. The father was saved through all of this. I think they had to spoon feed the formula to their little boy. Every child is precious in His sight!

Message: Dan and Kari, I've been so proud of you for your witness for Christ in the hospital! "Difficult" is a word that doesn't quite describe what you've been through, but the Lord has brought you through so far, and He has no intention of leaving you now!! God's grace has helped you learn and experience many things that you probably never thought possible, and you continue to give Him the glory! Keep listening to our Lord and His leading and Cora will have a wonderful Christian home in which to grow up!!!! Isaiah 40:31 "But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint." I'm excited to see you fly!!!!!!! I love all three of you dearly!!! Love, Tammy

Message: Dan, Kari and Baby Cora, You have touched our lives in such a great way. We have been praying for you since we knew that Cora was on the way. It is wonderful to rest in the knowledge that nothing is a surprise to God, and that He chose you to be the special couple to be the perfect parents to such a precious child. It is obvious by simply reading the Guest Book, that you have much prayer support behind you. You are special! We will continue to remember you and Cora. Children are a Heritage of the Lord!
