Memories and Prayers

Picture






By Brenda Douglas
$5.00

This is a love story. It is one of nostalgia, joy, honor, and friendship as the  reader looks back over the lives of Jan and Daniel Clay. Daniel has Alzheimer's Disease and Jan is having heart problems; but their love is still strong and  they have instilled their Christian values into some wonderful young people who  have shared their lives over the years. At one point, the reader 
gets to see a  wonderful "reunion" of the whole family as Daniel opens his eyes and knows them  each and they unknowingly get to say their goodbyes to him. Soon afterwards, the  answer to Jan's most ardent prayer is answered as Dan closes his eyes down here  to awaken in heaven. Just minutes later as Jan finishes writing in her diary,  she joins her husband, as a nurse with her own heartache and pain watches. This  same woman, Nadine, has taken care of the couple in the last days of their lives  and she has become attached to what she considers two of the most wonderful  people she has ever met. She gets a few surprises herself near the ending of the  novel. She fi nds love and a sweet, sweet peace in the arms of Daniel's widowed  brother as he comes home from the mission fi eld for the funeral and decides to  stay in the little cottage that his brother and sister-in-law have called home  for so long. They both meet new challenges and discover happiness for the second  time in both of their lives. The reader will laugh, cry, and often be surprised  by the happenings in MEMORIES AND PRAYERS.
