Stephanie and Eric...I have not had the pleasure of meeting you but have heard the most wonderful things about you from my friend, Janelle. We are praying for you and your family. I wish I was in KC so I could offer my help with the kids or do whatever I can to help. I know you have a lot of wonderful friends who are rallying around you. We'll be thinking of you...

Stephanie,
When we went to JCHS you always had a smile, your positive out look and kindheartedness is what attracted so many to you. I will pray for you. I know with all the people that care for you and as good a person you are that you will prevail.

Eric, We went to high school together and I got word from a friend that this was going on with your wife. I am praying for her and asking that the Lord give you strength that only comes from him. During a trying time in my life I had to claim a scripture and believe that the Lord meant those words for me as well. Jeremiah 29:11 " For I know the plans I have for you," declares ther Lord," plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart, I will be found by you," declares the Lord, "and will bring you back from captivity." I pray that these words comfort you and your family. Knowing that the Lord knows all our needs. He will not leave you nor forsake you. Give him all you thoughts pain and anger. May you conitue to walk in faith knowing that He hears your needs.
May the Lord continue to heal your family. Shauna Daniels Morris

Eric and Stephanie: Not a moment goes by that I don't think of you two and your beautiful family. God has blessed you so much and I am confident he is not through blessing the Vest family. You both have been an inspiration with your faith and how you raise your family. You not only have God fighting for you, but a huge host of family and friends. Heaven has been bombarded by prayers in your behalf.

God bless and I love you.

[Rosemary Hall]

Stephanie,Erik and family,

I am lifting you all up in prayer trusting that God's healing power will touch Stephanie today.
God Bless You.

Stephanie and Eric,
We don't know each other, but I heard of Stephanie's illness through another blog I follow. I thought you might like to know that a family from California is praying for your full recovery, and that God's peace surrounds you during this time! Jesus is our great physician, and He still preforms miracles!

[Evelyn Cantwell]

Eric, Stephanie,Steve,Brooke and all other support team members.

Eric and Stephanie,

I recently heard about Stephanie's condition and have been kept up to date by Natalee. I am very happy to be able to use this site to track her progress and keep you all in my thoughts. You have always been nothing but wonderful to me and I will keep you in my prayers. You have such a beautiful family and I want Stephanie to be able to go home and revel in the joy of a newborn and the unpredictableness of two older boys! I love you guys and continue to pray for your recovery.

[N Krider]

Eric, Stephanie and all - Hang in there - God works in mysterious ways. You are all in my thoughts and I am keeping up with your progress - and progress it is! God Bless you all.

[Ann Hendrickson Lawrenz]

Steph, Eric and family--I am so sorry to hear about your condition. I know we haven't seen each other in years, but I have kept you in my thoughts and prayers. I know that suffering produces perseverance and with perseverance comes character. And with character, hope. And hope does not disappoint, as Romans 5:3-5 states. I love you and I am praying for you.

[Tracey Elsloo]

Stephanie and Eric,

I have not met either of you, but wanted you to know about the power of prayer today. I have received two e-mails with your website information from two different friends today. Also, my parents live in Lee's Summit and my mom used to teach at Voy Spears Elementary. Mom talked to me this morning about you as well. I find it amazing that I have been touched by your story today by three different people. I am praying for a miraculous healing for you and for your beautiful family. God Bless all of you!
