Please join us all as we give our strength and love to Elizabeth and Tony Santos....a kind of cyber prayer chain if you will....please know that your Passion's Family is praying for you at this time..... Out of the desert sands grows A flower of delicate hue Buried for a millennium And unearthed just for you God saw the weeping in your soul And comforted you with his tears The rains imbued his sadness And gave peace to all your fears Miracles are God’s way of saying Each of us is a tender flower So in these days of darkness Seek the miracle’s power Have faith in God and His strength Give love to those in need With that and hope, you may find A miracle in this seed.

I believe in miracles They are very real A blessing from the Lord That He will not conceal A miracle performed Is praise unto His name For the blessing that He gave In hopes His love we'll claim Lord look down upon Anthony And heal him with your touch And bless his loving wife, Liz For she loves him very much Lord I know you hear us Please answer our friends prayer And help him heal quickly To return to her love they share Cause I believe in miracles I've seen what God can do For He can heal Anthony And give comfort to you too! God Bless you both! In my prayers |

Elizabeth, I always find beauty and inspiration in your words. I do not know what troubles are on you and your husband, but I hope and pray that all turns out well. You will be in my thoughts. It matters not how strait the gate; How charged with punishments the scroll; I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul. --W.E. Henley |

Elizabeth, you and your husband will be in my thoughts and in my prayers until the Lord sees fit to heal him and send him home to you. May His angels give you comfort until your own comes home. --Kess Full fathom five thy father lies, Of his bones are coral made, Those are pearls that were his eyes; Nothing of him that doth fade But doth suffer a sea-change Into something rich and strange... --William Shakespeare, from The Tempest |

True Rest The vi'lent storm is thrashing 'round The giant waves upon me pound And though I search so desperately This raging storm is all I see. And yet I know deep down inside This too will pass, this shall subside Yes, this rising tide, this raging sea It shall not always ravage me. Dark clouds will pass, the sun will shine And once again - a calm shoreline Oh, the gulls will swoop, my heart will soar My soul shall sing like ne'er before. I know He's true, He'll give me rest He gives His peace when I'm oppressed Yes, and even 'midst the storms to be He'll be right there - He'll rescue me. My prayers are with you both, Elizabeth and Anthony for healing and peace. Love, Denise |

Angel Sometimes you walk alone, feeling so forlorn I am right behind you, although I am not born Sometimes you feel sad, something pulls you down I am the one that carries you and your thorny crown Sometimes you are scared, you do not know where to turn It’s me, you have to trust and learn Sometimes you are hopeless, lost every way I am the one that calls and tells you what to say Sometimes when you need me the most I follow you, but I’m just a ghost I spread my wings to cover you Because I’m your angel no matter what you do. My prayers are with you both The ability to describe life with words is similar to painting a picture; both can be powerful tools. |

I may not know everyone and their lives all that well. But I do know one thing...I know what a loving friend is. And everyone here is overflowing with it. I never knew that poeple could be so kind and understanding and caring to others of whom they might have just met. So let me say one last thing, befor I fall asleep smiling out of the joy that fill my heart tonight. "I love you all " |

It is times like these that I truly wish as friends we could give you more than our words as comfort. Accept these virtual hugs and my honest wishes for strength for you. Chris |

When troubles seem to drag you down, Talk to the one who is always around, He'll listen with patience, answer with love And send you strength from heaven above. Your friends here are numbered so high, Offering love, concern and care, This place we've found, where friends abound, And good listeners are never rare. |

If aching hearts could hold the power To just reach out and heal We'd send that to you now, dear friends. All we can do is kneel And offer up our prayers to God That he will help you cope With whatever comes your way As we send love and hope. |

Into each life of sunshine They say some rain must fall And before the winter cruelity We've the beauty of the fall Our life is full of ups and downs With bad there too comes good And in this time of trial Dwell on the things you should Remember that God gives no burdens He thinks we can not carry And that he's there to lift us up When we are down and weary Remember also, you have friends Who wish you all the best In in remembering all these things You'll find you have been blessed And so we offer up our prayers In this your time of need May God grant you health and healing And all within good speed Liz and Anthony, my thoughts and prayers are with you...God bless you both richly At the touch of love, everyone becomes a poet. ~Plato |

Unto each life a teardrop falls Lord, I honor thy name Unto each life an angel calls Lord, I honor thy name Unto my life a friend came in Lord, I honor thy name Unto my life he did away sin Lord, I honor thy name Unto you I say a prayer in kind Lord, I honor thy name Unto you I say, “peace of mind” Lord, I honor thy name. Sunshine Look, then, into thine heart, and write ~~~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow |

Elizabeth - These words are from my Nana's collection of poetry. She wrote them to my grandfather when he fell ill... She, too, was totally devoted to her husband... While You're Ill by Velma M. Carlson (1903-1996) It takes a lot of courage never to ...complain When you are blue and discouraged ...and suffer lots of pain. It's hard to take in on the chin ~ ...to smile and say "I'm swell" When all the time you're really ill ...and feeling far from well. It takes a lot of courage, a mighty ...lot, I'd say. But you must grin and bear it. ...There is no other way. The doctor's working mighty hard ...to help you get well, So when he makes the rounds today ...just say, "I'm feeling swell." It takes a lot of courage, but ...start in now and smile. Don't give up and say "I'm sick." ...It's really not worthwhile. Spread a little sunshine. ...Drive those clouds away. Make those around you happy. ...Then, you've really won the day. [This message has been edited by Nan (edited 01-25-2000).] |

All of your poems are so beautiful and I can hardly type through my tears, knowing there are so many prayers for Tony. We are so much more hopeful now that we have been in contact with some of the top specialist in the country, who say that they have treated similar cases and they are encouraging. I think in the end, this may turn out alright. I will know more on Friday, but I thank you all for being so supportive through this nightmare. You are wonderful friends to have Love Liz |
