I am praying for the members of the council, that your heart may be filled with compassion during this Holiday Season. I would like to share with you how this annexation is taking its toll on so many of the residents that it will be affection. Many are not sleeping, many are having to take nerve pills just to calm themselves down and be able to function in their daily activities. I ask you to not vote on this annexation at this time, if anything, please let the residents have a cheerful holiday season. Postpone this annexation to a later date. Please, I beg of you, give them some hope during this time of year.
