We are hanging in there with the prayer chains going full blast around here, wish that we could slow them down a bit. Ha. But we do what we have to do. Hope that you and the family are doing o.k., these last two months have been quite a challenge more than we could of or would of imagined that we would ever have had to go thru. Well, take care, hopefully we can all be together soon and say WHEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We did it, but at the same time we are all prepared to do what we have to do. Bill is really struggling also at the moment, but we are hoping that something can be done also to get him some help. Take Care. Love you guys lots. FROM: Herb Jr TO: Reverend David Sept 18 @ 12:09 PM David, Lea and Larry are my very closest friends who own the bed and breakfast in Indianapolis. We have known each other since the early 70's and grow closer together each year although we are separated by many miles and many different trails and tribulations. Larry and I have had the opportunity to view first hand God's benevolence and Love when we were each called to protect the life of the other under extreme crisis conditions. We, therefore, are as close, or closer, than brothers. I would hope that we would now be able to connect to the full community of faith and exercise that same benevolence and Love for Lea so that she may fully return to Larry, family and her world of friends. I simply ask for your prayers, blessings and countenance for a full and speedy recovery. FROM: Kristin Sept 18 @ 2:18 PM Larry, Just wanted you to know that you are also touching the lives of some of my relatives here in Austin. We spent some time with my cousins on my mother's side yesterday. They all told me that they cry when they read your e-mails and that they are inspired by the faith that you demonstrate. My cousin's wife, from Mexico, talks about having learned so much from you and wanting to meet you. I said they probably would meet you, and likely Lea, at our wedding next year. Anyway, it has all really emphasized how God is working through you and Lea to teach all of us. Keep staying strong, we are behind you..... FROM: Marlowe Sept 18 @ 4:13 PM Dear Larry, I forwarded your update from 9/14, in which you said so many nice things about nurses, to my cousin Betty who is a retired director of nursing at Seton Hospital in Austin. Her friend Doris, who lives in Hartford, has been in touch with you. Thought you would feel good about her response. -----Original Message-------- FROM: Betty Sep 17 @ 5:17 PM Marlowe; Obviously Larry is a wonderful man. Is his son like him? I am sure he must be. Isn't Kristen the lucky one. I loved hearing all the good things about nurses. It really makes me proud. That is the kind of people I tried to have at Seton. I know Doris will be proud of her hospital and the staff even if they may not be the ones she recruited and hired. What does Larry do? Maybe we can meet him sometime. We will be going to Indiana in November, but Lea may not even be back there by then. It does sound as though she is doing amazingly well. With someone like Larry in her corner how could she not recover. Thanks for keeping us informed. REPLY FROM: Larry Vaughn Sept 18 @ 9:43 PM Thank you, so much, Marlowe. Yes, I DID get a call from Doris, who asked if there was anything at all she could do for me. Although I didn't talk to her long, she was very gracious, and I felt privileged to have been called. Isn't it wonderful how we can all pull together, and support each other? I just continue to be amazed at how all this is playing out. It is very gratifying, of course, but I do feel the weight of a lot of responsibility associated with the chronicling of this life changing event. I certainly am not trained, or in any way qualified, to minister in this manner, but feel led. And, sometimes, the words just flow. I usually have to read the email after I send it out, just to see what we wrote! :-) I got a very nice note from Kristin yesterday. She is so sweet! Love to everyone. Thank you for praying for my darling! DAY SIXTY-FIVE

HI, Larry, just a note to let you know that Maleah is my sister-in-law, and that’s my brother Bill Sjoken that she was talking to you about, wasn’t sure with all of the things going on if her name would ring a bell or not. We are hanging in there with the prayer chains going full blast around here, wish that we could slow them down a bit. Ha. But we do what we have to do.

Hope that you and the family are doing o.k., these last two months have been quite a challenge more than we could of or would of imagined that we would ever have had to go thru.

David, Lea and Larry are my very closest friends who own the bed and breakfast in Indianapolis. We have known each other since the early 70’s and grow closer together each year although we are separated by many miles and many different trails and tribulations.
