- A Thank You to our St. Paul’s Family – Gord and Judy Richardson are very thankful to all who upheld Sarah Lee Richardson and baby Beatrice in her traumatic birth and subsequent brain surgery to insert a shunt. This week the pediatric neurosurgeon saw her and said he was amazed at how "perfect" she looked and how well she is doing. We are all thankful, relieved and continue to trust in God's care and healing for her future.
