Cathy Hawkins

We have so much appreciated the prayers offered for our daughter, Cathy Hawkins, since she began treatment for lymphoma over a year ago that we wanted to share with you our delight that she has been told by her hospital that there is now no trace of the cancer in her bone marrow.  Obviously, this is not a full and final ‘all clear’ but we could not have hoped for better news at this stage, and both we and Cathy are quite sure that prayer has played a big part in bringing it about.  Thank you all.  Liz and Stan Edwards
