Pilgrims from the Ireland 2008 journey will remember Roy Anderson of Vancouver. Roy is dealing with cancer, and after a series of radiation treatments, had some time with Diane and family catching some sun and warmth in Mexico. Roy underwent long and extensive surgery in the week after Easter. Word is that the operation was a success. He and Diane will both appreciate your continuing prayers.
