                 Panic is rampant, health issues are rising, and many seem unsure of what to do.

                       Please give us the strength and the love to see the light in the darkness, no matter how bleak times
                       may seam.

                       For inspiration and wisdom for scientists, doctors, and nurses
           We sprang into action...
                 With virtual school days
                 Closing of schools
                 Staying at home
                  We pray...
