I've been carrying you around in my prayers all week Lura and still am. I, too, would love an address to send some cards or letters to. I love you my sweet friend. I am praying that all will be well. I am just so grateful that you and John made it through what sounds like a horrendous accident alive, now am praying that you heal completely and quickly. Thank goodness you have your family around to help. xxoo
PS - All my blogging buddies, facebook friends, family, Church Ward family and the whole of both the Preston and London England Temples are praying you well.
Lura, dear. You are in my every prayer. I/we love you and John. We have called Paul and Michelle. Jan could hardly sleep last night. I feel guilty that I slept. But, I did pray for you when I turned over and considered that my simple movement of turning over is a luxury that you can't do without excruciating. When I went to my cell phone to call you there was a message from you begging me to pray for because you needed to turn over to receive a shot. The pain in your voice is haunting. To think you are in such pain makes my heart break. I will carry you and John in my prayers constantly. I will call the temple for you, also.
Lura, my heart is broken, and won't heal until you and John heal. Be strong my dear darling friend. You are in my heart and my prayers. Kris and I are just haunted by the sound of your broken body in your voice. I feel the love you placed in my heart 3 days ago. Feel my arms around you! Feel my healing love, and the healing love of all of us... your Heavenly Father, your church family, your precious family, and all the way down to me.
Silvija: Just talked to Lura. She confirms 14 broken ribs and a broken sternum. They will be doing an epidural soon to relieve pain so she can breathe deeply enough to avoid pneumonia. Could you please post here that she is at Utah Valley Med. Ctr., 1034 North 500 West, Provo, UT 84604. She is in intensive care and can't receive flowers there. She thinks she will be in ICU for at least several days. She says she's liking phone calls...keeps her mind off her pain. The phone number is 801) 357-7850. Thanks so much, Jan

We are all God's Children
"I am a daughter of my Heavenly Father who loves me and I love Him." Knowing that I am a child of God has made all the difference in my life. It influences everything that I do.

The Redland's LDS temple
John and I work as volunteers in this temple 1 day a week. Temples are houses of the Lord where couples can be married for time and all eternity and families are sealed together forever. Click on the picture of this temple if you would like to see other temples and learn more about them.

Grammy's Story
I married John in 1965. We had 3 girls and 2 boys, however, we lost 1 baby boy at birth. Our children are all grown and happily married to great spouses. We have 14 wonderful, cute, talented and smart grandchildren. (Of course I'm not at all biased.)
John and I are retired teachers. We taught for over 22 years. We taught at the high school level full time and adult and college classes part time. After retiring from teaching we became travel agents. We travel quite a bit (mostly to visit our kids and grandkids) and love cruising. Let us know if you would like to join us on a cruise or have us find a special cruise for you. Contact us at jandltravel@charter.net
We also enjoy working around our home and yard.
Our family is doing well. We count our blessings and are very thankful.
"Cruising Kids" John and Lura
Travel agents at work....It surely beats teaching!

Prayers are going up for you right now! Please know I am with you in spirit!
If someone could post an address for cards, that would be appreciated!!
If Lura or John see this -I am sending BIG GENTLE HUGS!!
I've been carrying you around in my prayers all week Lura and still am. I, too, would love an address to send some cards or letters to. I love you my sweet friend. I am praying that all will be well. I am just so grateful that you and John made it through what sounds like a horrendous accident alive, now am praying that you heal completely and quickly. Thank goodness you have your family around to help. xxoo
PS - All my blogging buddies, facebook friends, family, Church Ward family and the whole of both the Preston and London England Temples are praying you well.
Lura, dear. You are in my every prayer. I/we love you and John.
We have called Paul and Michelle.
Jan could hardly sleep last night.
I feel guilty that I slept. But, I did pray for you when I turned over and considered that my simple movement of turning over is a luxury that you can't do without excruciating. When I went to my cell phone to call you there was a message from you begging me to pray for because you needed to turn over to receive a shot. The pain in your voice is haunting. To think you are in such pain makes my heart break.
I will carry you and John in my prayers constantly.
I will call the temple for you, also.
Lura, my heart is broken, and won't heal until you and John heal. Be strong my dear darling friend. You are in my heart and my prayers. Kris and I are just haunted by the sound of your broken body in your voice. I feel the love you placed in my heart 3 days ago. Feel my arms around you! Feel my healing love, and the healing love of all of us... your Heavenly Father, your church family, your precious family, and all the way down to me.
Come back to us soon,
Love and hugs,
Jan
I just called and spoke with Sis. Vorwaller. She is, of course, very concerned and sends their love. She will tell the Morgans.
Silvija: Just talked to Lura. She confirms 14 broken ribs and a broken sternum. They will be doing an epidural soon to relieve pain so she can breathe deeply enough to avoid pneumonia. Could you please post here that she is at Utah Valley Med. Ctr., 1034 North 500 West, Provo, UT 84604. She is in intensive care and can't receive flowers there. She thinks she will be in ICU for at least several days. She says she's liking phone calls...keeps her mind off her pain. The phone number is 801) 357-7850.
Thanks so much, Jan
we continue praying! Love Lura! is the best. Can you tell her (when you can) that Gloria from Chile send a lot of huggs??,Dear Lura Im sure God is with you. Hope you will be OK soon my dear xoxoxo gloria
