The Adventures of Colten Robert 
HI Katie, I am a friend of Lou Ann’s in the choir. I have been keeping Colten and you in prayer after talking with your mom. I prayed to our mother of Perpetual help at Mass tonigh and offered up a Communion for all to go well tomorrow for you and baby. Remember, Jesus will have His hands in there and lifting Colton up and out with the skill of the Doctor. God Bless and have a blessed day tomorrow. Marie Ruvolo
Katie and Richard – I am a friend of Connie’s. As she prayed so hard for my husband we know take up with prayers for your family. May the Lord hold your family and little Colten in his hands from this day forward. Prayers are coming for strength and love for all of you. Patti Fischer
Katie and Richard: Know that little Colton is in the arms of the Lord, and so are you. I will continue to pray and have spread the word to many prayer partners. Live in hope and know all is well.
