We as that you would life up in your prayers Steve Roberts and family as they mourn the loss of Steve's Mother Mell. As the family mourns we pray for Gods arms of love to envelope them and for His strengthening Spirit to encourage them in these difficult days. May they be reminded of the victory that is assured in Jesus.

Romans 8:37-39 NKJV
