A special prayer in honor of Harvey:
St. Francis Prayer
Lord, make me a channel for Thy peace – that where there is hatred, I may bring love – that where there is wrong, I may bring the spirit of forgiveness – that where there is discord, I may bring harmony – that where there is error, I may bring truth – that where there is doubt, I may bring faith – that where there is despair, I may bring hope – that where there are shadows, I may bring light – that where there is sadness, I may bring joy. Lord, grant that I may seek rather to comfort than to be comforted – to understand, than to be understood – to love, than to be loved. For it is by self-forgetting that one finds. It is by forgiving that one is forgiven. It is by dying that one awakens to eternal life. Amen.

Gail Pliley says
All the places, faces and amazing things we experienced on the road were some of the best days and I am glad we shared that time. Every day something happens and I grab the phone to share with you but I can’t. BTW, get back here, we still have projects to finish. Thanks for being my friend and all the wonderful adventures we shared.
