Just hours aer receiving the prayer requests, Lynne penned a book, I AM With You Always, to convey God's love and comfort to children in diffi- cult times. With the book, children in hospitals across the country receive a thoughtful care package of brightly colored scripture cards, bracelets, a stuffed animal and a personalized card from Lynne and her volunteer staff. In the office, visitors will find a color- ful, yet sobering bulletin board filled with stars, names, and even some pic- tures of children who have received the His Shining Stars package. Beside the board, Lynne displays thank-you notes, letters and mementos from families. Lynne prays for them every day. "It's very hard to do what we do, but it's also very rewarding," said Lynne, who re- cently received a call from the parents of a Shining Star who lost her fight with childhood cancer. "I know I've done something to make their lives easier."
