[Announce] Please pray for the repose of the soul of James Lovett

[Robert Waldrop]

Please pray for the repose of the soul of James Lovett, son of Dolores Lovett.  He was in his early 20s. 

James suffered from sickle cell anemia, diabetes, and had to have dialysis 3 times each week.  He died yesterday afternoon.  He was scheduled for dialysis the day before yesterday, but he didn't go.  The dialysis center sent a van for him yesterday morning, and he refused to go again.  He said he would go in the afternoon after he took a nap, but he never woke up.  Dolores said she thought he was so tired of being sick that he just gave up on life. 

We've known Dolores and James and her other children since 1999, she lived in the Walnut Grove neighborhood I have often written about, and was a next door neighbor to Mrs. Jones. In years past, two of the Creighton groups have done service projects at her house.  Please also pray for Dolores, since one of the hardest trials of a parent is to bury your own child.

I think I should probably appeal for help with the funeral expenses, as Dolores is very poor.  I am going to go to the funeral home with her later this morning.
