The Wagner Family Update

We are overwhelmed and humbled by the tremendous amount of support and prayer that has already been shared by so many people since we first learned of Laurie’s illness. This blog has been created to inform family, friends, neighbors, our church family, and work colleagues of Laurie's healing progress. We will be posting regular updates so that you can monitor her progress and send her notes of encouragement and support.

An online calendar is being developed by our dear neighbors, Martha and Brian Roherty, to help in the coordination of the scheduling and delivery of meals. In order to be helpful to the family, we are requesting that the meals be dropped off at the Roherty's home, 13030 Monroe Manor Drive, Oak Hill, VA which is conveniently located next door to the Wagner’s. Brian Roherty is home during the day to help facilitate the drop-off of the meals.

The offers of support have been so numerous that we think it might be best if we assign nights for each of the various groups that have offered. We have randomly assigned the following order to begin on November 30th.

Sunday night - Church Family Members
Tuesday night - Floris Elementary School
Thursday night - Oak Hill ElementarySchool
Saturday night - Neighbors

We anticipate that this support will only be needed until December 21st for this first phase. Once we begin phase two we may need additional support.Please feel free to contact Brian Roherty roherty@verizon.net at 703-481-9361 or 202-251-3840 or Martha Roherty at mroherty@nasua.org 202-320-7419 if you have any questions.

Once again, we will update this blog as new information becomes available. In the mean time, we appreciate your continued prayers and support.

We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers as you have done for so many others for so many years...we pray that your surgery and recovery goes well, we pray for emotional and physical strength for all of you and that you will be able to feel the love of your family, friends(lots of them). We will also be praying for your doctors and nurses as they work to restore your health. You and your family mean a whole lot to me and my family we will gladly help out however and whenever we can...much love, The Ossenfort family.
