Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

 The pictures were printed, the letter was written, but the Christmas cards never arrived...so here is our virtual Christmas card.

Dear Friends and Family,

Grace and peace be with you as we reflect on the blessings and challenges of the past year. Our hearts are filled with gratitude for the love and support that comes from our faith community. Here's a glimpse into the journey of our family:

David is still with Wells Fargo and is approaching his 26th work anniversary in February. He dedicated considerable effort to preparing our house for sale as we began downsizing.

This year, Mary celebrated her 50th birthday, a milestone marked by joy and trials. In July, she was diagnosed with triple-positive breast cancer. Through the grace of God, Mary completed her chemotherapy treatments in early December, and we remain steadfast in our faith that, after undergoing radiation in January and a year of immunotherapy, she will be declared cancer-free in August.

Logan turned 18 and is now a high school senior. He has applied to several colleges for engineering and has already received responses from four.

Caden, a junior, faced his fourth surgery in October. We humbly seek your prayers, trusting in the healing power of God, that this procedure will be the final step in resolving his health challenges.

Mason embarked on a new chapter this year, starting high school with a focus on Automotive Repair. Attending the same high school as Logan, he is delighted to leave middle school behind.

As we gather in celebration of the holidays, we are reminded of the true meaning of this season — the gift of Christ. May your homes be filled with the warmth of His presence, and may the coming year bring blessings and peace to each of you.

With love, David, Mary, Logan, Caden, and Mason
