The Scaglia's want to wish all our dear friends/family a Merry Christmas. This Christmas we are sending a very special shout-out to our dear friends Jim and Eli Munroe.
Jim Munroe was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic lymphoma (leukemia) a week ago. The news of this diagnosis was shocking, especially, for such a healthy and young person. Since this diagnoses he has not left the hospital and was transferred to MD Anderson in Houston from Dallas for treatment.
Wanting so desperately to be there with them during this time we decided the next best thing was a video from his Colorado friends.
We love you Jim and Eli and pray that this video message is encouraging and blesses you this Christmas.
A special thanks to all who participated in this video!

All of us in Idaho are begging God for a miracle. Let me know if there is anything I can do...

Although I really don't know Jim except thru Brian, we will continue to pray for healing and that this trial will be a testimony to the power of prayer and faith in the great Healer of us all, Jesus.
I'm proud of you Brian for pulling this video together. I know Jim and Eli will be blessed by the outpouring of love and faith by his friends.
Love,
Your Dad and Linda

Brian, you are truly a good friend. This is an amazing effort put forth by you and your family/friends. I met you briefly one night at Jim's house in October and really enjoyed your company. Thank you for your support during these tough times.
