I received this email today & I am just heartsick. I haven't seen these friends for a few years, but have kept in touch by email. They have been married for 50 yrs & 1 month. Please join in his prayers & mine, for them both.
On Tuesday 8/7/07 Alma was transferred to Hospice in Jackson. Her doctors have decided there is no further treatment for her returned cancer. In Hospice, she will be given enough analgesics to ease her considerable pain in order to be kept as comfortable as possible. This development in her cancer fight came after nearly two years of Radiation and Chemotherapy. As you can guess, the cancer grew as did her pain. Her main doctor, is the chief of Oncology at the Mississippi School of Medicine in Jackson. He is up to the minute on the latest treatments and he finally said in effect there was nothing more to do but wait for the end. Please pray for her passage to Heaven and my coping with the loss of my darling.

Of course they both have my prayers for peace, knowing what the waiting does to them both.
