Hi, everyone. I know that many of you met Fred while he served in the Friends Of Bookshare chat room, and I thought you might want to pray for him. I received the following note from Bob Acosta. Dear Friends, it is with a very heavy heart that I tell you some very sad news concerning the grave illness of our beloved friend Fred Bertelsen. He has Cancer of the liver, lungs and perhaps the brain. Yesterday morning at 4 am, his wonderful wife Dee received a call informing her that Fred was now on a ventilator. he had stopped breathing. Dee is waiting for a call from the Doctor. The Family will drive 250 miles to Memphis to be with Fred. Please pray for him. Bob Acosta Monica Willyard "The elevator to success is out of order.
