Prayers for Tony.

My father died of colon cancer in 1985. First diagnosed in 1965, given a year to live. Made it to 1968 with another ‘attack’, then made it to 1983. We were blessed with 20 years of my wonderful father when he was first given one.

My maternal grandmother is going to be 100 years old in September. She is physically and intellectually strong. When she was in her late 30’s she had uterine cancer. When she was in her early 60’s she had colon cancer. When she was in her early 70’s she had breast cancer. Each time the prognosis was not the best.

Today Grandma enjoys life and has no immediate desire to
leave us!

God bless you.
