Piper Finley Jacobs : Our friends & neighbors lost their sweet sweet Piper Finley this past weekend.  Please join with me in calling them out to our Father.  May He be Jehovah Shalom, the Lord of Peace.  May He hold them especially tight on this day; the day they lay their baby girl to rest.  I know it will be in His strength alone.
