Prayers are needed! Pray for all the people who are losing their homes due
to the weather and because they don’t have a job. Pray for those that are having surgery or recovering from surgery, or are in
the hospital. Especially, Kathleen Canclini, Robert Fisher, Rod Skenandore, Flora
Mae Williams and Margaret Tyon. Your prayers are very important and help people recover faster!
They all need your prayers and positive thoughts because it's hard being ill.
Also remember those who have made their journeys to the spirit world during
these fall months. We will never forget them! Pray for anyone else needing Prayers
at this time!
Heartfelt Sympathy! To the Oglala Lakota Tribal Nation &
family of Johnson Holy Rock, who died on January 21,
2012. To anyone else who has recently lost a family member or friend
in the Indian community. Our prayers and positive thoughts are with the
families in their time of sorrow and mourning. May they all rest in peace!
