While there is so much that we can do to love and support Marcy and Mark, we also feel that we must draw on the strength of the Lord on Marcy's behalf. Many of her friends are fasting today for that purpose. In the LDS faith (as in many other faiths), a fast is used as a way of drawing our spirit closer to our Heavenly Father. We believe that through the supplication of our physical body, we allow our spirits to more closely commune with God. A typical fast in our faith involves skipping two meals. We begin and end our fast with prayer. And most often we fast with a purpose. Today we fast for Marcy.
We invite all who know and love Marcy to participate with us in our fasting and prayer. Marcy's wonderful friends are of many faiths and beliefs, but we invite all join with us today and call upon the powers of heaven to bless this family. So at 5:00 p.m today, where ever we are, we are going to kneel in prayer--please join us!

Marcy,
Our prayers are with you at this time! I want to do anything and everything! Can your kids come to my house and play? Can I bring a meal in when you are home from the hospital? You are an amazing person and a big-time trooper! Love, Alissa and Brandon Owen
Marcy -
We've been thinking about you and praying for you. Mark's good to keep the Bishop informed, so I'm able to let other's know. Danny left today for India. He'll be there tomorrow night, after 35 hours of traveling and layovers. We'll keep you updated on him! Keep smiling, and keep improving!

Marcy, Amy and Brad told us about your stroke. We were so sorry to hear about this, but are so pleased you are doing well. We send our love to you and your family. We are putting your name on the prayer rolls in the Nauvoo Temple.
Love to all of you.
Dean and Kathy Hughes
We should be watching a baseball game instead of you being in the hospital. Make sure you have those hideous hospital gown ties together before the bishopric visits.
LOVE and HUGS from CV and Family
Hi Marcy -I'm so happy to hear that you keep improving- I would have been in better contact before now except I have been down with the flu for 2 days!
we will do anything we can do to help - we'll stay in touch - I was excited to hear that Janna was able to talk to you last night - I look forward to that too!
Love, Kathy
Hi Marcy,
