Soliciting Your Prayers

[David Hartman]

Dear friends,

I just spoke to my wife who relayed the news to me that my Sister In-Law (my wife Kathi's younger sister) has less than 2 weeks to live. She has been dealing with cervical cancer for the past 4 months, and just found out that it has spread rapidly into her bladder, rectum and other areas within her.

They have turned her over to Hospiss(sp?) (she is now bedfast in a hospital bed at her home, where her son and boy-friend are helping to care for her) and my wife's family are meeting Sunday to make funeral arrangements.

This is the first in either my wife's or my family to leave us, and we are all taking it very hard.

For those who pray: Please remember my wife and her family in your prayers.
For those who don't believe in prayer: I do covet your thoughts and well wishes for her and her family.

Thank you in advance for your support,
Dave Hartman

Very sorry to hear this. You are all in my prayers. How old is her son?

Very sorry to hear this. You are all in my prayers. How old is her son?

Thank you. Her son (Nathan) is 25. She just recently turned 50.

That kinda thing is NEVER easy, but I am glad the son is not a small child. An aquantaince (friend of a friend) is dying of cancer -- has about 30 days -- and has a 2 year old and a 4 year old child. I cannot fathom the grief...

What we never want to hear

Dave,

This type of news is something we all dread. You are in my thoughts and your family will need your strength in dealing with the tough times ahead. I know that you have what it takes. All the problems we think we have don't compare to a situation like this. My deepest sympathy to you and your family.

Bill

ddharma,
We will keep you all in our prayers. We lost a son-in-law to cancer last year, he was only 29.

Dave, My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family, we just lost our grandfather who was a retired fire fighter to lung cancer a few weeks ago. He was given 6 to 9 months to live, he hung around for 12. We miss him very much. He was at peace with life and I believe he is at peace in Heaven.
Sincerely,
Paula
