Each week we lift up the sorrows, the joys and the gratitude of those in our community, and in our world at large and we appreciate your sharing so that you need not walk alone.

Jeanine and Leo Meunier share their sorrow at the loss of Leo's brother in law, Gerald Deschenes Sr., who died unexpectedly last week in Massachusetts. They are so shocked and saddened. Please keep Gerry and Leo's sister Lea in your thoughts. 

Also from Jeanine Meunier: "All of my hometown, Pacific Palisades, CA is on fire. Many of the downtown's main structures are damaged or burnt to the ground. High school, elementary school, large grocery store, theater, and many other buildings in this small town. It all started from a vegetation fire in the hills. So much sorrow."
