Please remember my childhood friend, Susie, who is dying of brain cancer right now. Susie struggled with a chemical addiction for almost 15 years, and finally seemed to beat it after she gave her life back to Christ last Spring. Two months later, she was diagnosed with breast cancer and around the same time her father died of a heart attack. Recently she got the news that the cancer had matastisized (sp?) in her brain. They were going to do surgery soon, but have decided to wait due to swelling in her brain, I believe.

She and her husband, Brian, have two boys under 15 years of age. Her sister is staying with her for a while to take care of her. Her mother is also facing the death of her mother and mother-in-law in the next few weeks.

Suzie was really a dear friend. Please remember her at this time, as well as her family.

Thank you and God bless,

Gordo

LORD JESUS CHRIST SON OF THE LIVING GOD - MERCY!

Our Father, Who art in heaven,
Hallowed be Thy Name.
Thy Kingdom come.
Thy Will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil. Amen.

Dear Friends in Christ,

I just got off the phone with Suzie's brother-in-law, who is also my former college roommate. They do not expect her to live past the next two days. Also, her mother, Joyce, flew to Tampa to be with her daughter only to receive a call as she got off the plane that her own mother died of cancer.

Please remember this family in your prayers!

In ICXC,
