Prayer Journal #7

 I learned today that my high school friend Peggy King Brown lost her husband.

I had just been thinking about her the other day.  She collects old bowls and pottery and often posts pictures of the items in her collection.  She has commented on some of the bowls I have picked up, mainly at Green Oak.  As I was replacing the bowls on top of the hutch after it had been returned to the spot in the dining room, I thought about Peggy and how I hadn't seen any posts lately.

Today she posted by sharing her husband's obituary. 

Now her husband Leonard also was a MVHS graduate, class of 1968, so he was a year older than we were.  He was very active in the band, playing the French horn, and that is about all I remember of him (and I am not really sure why I remember which instrument he played). 

Peggy and Leonard lived in Laredo, Texas, and he was retired from teaching music in the public schools and I think Peggy had retired from teaching elementary students, but I am not sure.  They had two sons, one of whom is married, and two grandsons.

Tonight my prayer includes a prayer for peace and comfort for Peggy and her sons and their families.  

Please, Lord, but with them as the grieve the loss of their husband, father, and grandfather.  Amen.
