Dear Friars,

I was at your Shrine about 3 years ago. My daughter, 41 years old, was in a horrible accident.

Her whole side was broken. They did not know if she would ever walk again. Thanks to Our Lady of Consolation, prayers from her family, friends and church and wonderful medical help, 14 operations on her leg and foot, she has finally started back to her old job with a promotion. She is now going on to college again to get her masters degree in nursing.

When she had the accident, she was a surgical nurse. She lost 3 jobs from the accident but things are really looking up for her. We have a lot to be thankful for.

I would like to update you on my brother’s condition, and at the same time thank you.

On St. Patrick’s Day 2005 my younger brother came to my house and told me that his physical examination had not gone well. The doctor found something suspicious on his chest X-ray.

Bob was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, a serious cancer. My brother, sisters and I sat down together and cried. The following Sunday, our families came to Carey to pray at the Shrine.
