Hello John Tng, God Bless you for your faithful service in these letters.  I wrote for prayer in july 2008 when my father suddenly and unexpectedly died and I was in bereavement and being evicted, deep in depression. At that time my sister Joy Lynn Jessup succombed to her alcoholism and came to live with me to recover .  She praised the LORD and told everyone I saved her life and began again new.  Soon Satan deceived her and she ran away from my home and lived under a bridge these last few years when the shelter was closed in the summer.  Yesterday the coroner told me my beautiful sister, 56 years old, died in her disease yesterday.  She had been sober for a few months and had a great deal of homeless friends who have told me how beautiful my sister is and how she loved the LORD.  I praise HIS name for that. I am stunned and sick in my mind at the hard news and yet a part of me is devastated. My sisters daughter spoke to me this morning asking why did her mother leave her.  I told her the Heart of the LORD is good toward us but that life and death is serious and time is flying by beyond our ability to comprehend.  She is coming up here in a day.  I have no words.  The rest of the family thast abandoned my sister and I each has called me in unspeakable sobs.  They do not know the LORD and suffer terrible loss and regret concerning the treatment of my sister and myself.  I am numb. O how I love my sister.  I dont know what else to say. Please pray for my family, and for me.
