A TENDER MERCY.............

               JERZYLYN KRAMER

Life is full of surprises.  When we received the Nauvoo call we realized we would not be here for the birth of our sixteenth grandchild who was scheduled to be born in mid-October.  Apparently realizing that she wouldn't have the opportunity to be held by her loving grandparents she put it for an early transfer.  She made her way through the transit system and arrived early on September 20th at 10:30 p.m.  Kimberly and Michael named her Jerzylyn. (I know, I know).   She will be spending time in the ICU as she gains strength and her body adapts to the earthly climate.  We share alternate times with her as visitation is very limited.  Kimberly had a difficult delivery but through skilled medical care both her and the baby appear to be on the road to recovery.

Marc and Steve were able to give them both a Priesthood Blessing of health and comfort.  She is indeed a tender mercy for our family.
