Good evening all,
  As always, I have been overwhelmed by the responses
and prayers from everyone. I thought I would share
with everyone what I have come up with so far.
   We are going to do what we all calling the "Rope of
Hope". What we have planned is to have people purchase
a balloon and a prayer for a dollar, and the balloon
will be added to the rope of hope. The rope will
actually be a balloon garland, and we will keep adding
on as long as people spend a buck. We hope to do this
in the parking lot of the hospital, and have a live
remote from some radio stations. Depending on how long
it gets,we will be draping it around the hospital or
the cafeteria. That way, every time that the family
comes to get a drink or eat, they will be reminded of
all the prayers being said for them. 
   We are also going to make some balloon angels. I
found two mylars that I like. One says" With God all
things are possible", and the other " Our prayers are
with you". The angels will be holding one of these
balloons and will be at the entrances to the hospital.
We are calling them "Sarah's Angels". We will have
boxes next to them, so that when people buy a balloon,
they can leave a prayer, card, or any message they
would like for Sarah and her family. 
    We have a group of people meeting tomorrow night
so that hopefully we can pull this all off by next
weekend.
    If any one has something they would add to this,
please let me know. 
    Have a good night!
