I just talked to my buddy Jon Prendergast today and he is in need of our prayers. He is to undergo surgery at Reading Hospital on Friday morning. Please say a prayer or two for Jon, his wife Ann, daughters Kristen and Kelly, and for the surgeon -- so that God may guide his hand.
Although he's not feeling well it was difficult to get the consumate salesman to shut up (and I'm not so bad myself), so we talked for over an hour; about soft pretzels, about Notre Dame, about Jesuits hiding IHS, about life, and of course, Hawk basketball. I asked if there was anything I could do for him. He asked me to get us a true point guard for next year as we open up the Hagan Arena.
Please hit the knees people, if you will. Friends are in need of your prayers.
AMDG,
44

Tom,
ReplyDeleteAs always thanks for the e-mail. Reading is my home town and I know some members of the Predergast family. I will stop by at my church this evening and say a prayer for Jon.
Happy birthday to your sister! She is a great person.
Jeff "Irishawk" Babb
Tom...I will put your friend on the prayer list @ the motherhouse. They really do have a direct line to the Big Man. I will be @ the crypt this week and will pray for him. Jim
ReplyDeleteMy children and I will say an extra prayer for Jon Prendergast tonight.

Tom.
ReplyDeleteTrish and I will pray for Jon and his family and surgeon too.
I can't believe it's been three years already, I'll say a prayer for you and Looch too. As I've said before, Mom must be very proud.
Love and God Bless,
B
Will Do Tom. God Bless. Keep us posted.
