Common Tator is very, very ill, battling cancer...lung, to his liver.
Latest on Common Tator (as of 03-27-2009):
All,
My is so muddled right now, I don’t know who to post this to.
Ray is completly out of it now, not able to speak. I talked to his step-daughter a few minutes ago, and she said it is basically just a matter of time. I was going down tomorrow to see him, but she said that they prefer only close family to be there. Although I feel like I am Ray’s family, I will respect her wishes.
I’m just so blessed that just a few days ago, he gave me his last column, via telephone, which AF Phys helped me with. It’s on another thread.
I hope this post makes some kind of sense. My heart is hurting, I just pray for Ray to have a peaceful passing, and his step daughter said she would call me when that happens.
I can’t imagine my life without him. I guess I am in denial, I don’t know. All I can do is ask for your prayers.
Admin Mod please post the update for me.
Love and prayers,
Lisa
Prayers for CT’s health !
1The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
3He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.
4Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
5Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
6Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
God Bless Commontator, his family, and his friends ... he’s always been one of my favorites here.
Prayers from my family and me.
Prayers being said.
Continuing in prayer for Common Tator.
Oh, that does not sound good.
I have always loved his posts. I will pray for him and for you as well. I believe in miracles, and you never know when He will send one.
prayers up now

Prayers for Common Tator, Lisa!!!!!
Prayers for you Common Tator.
Miss Marple,
You were one of Ray’s favorite posters on here.
He taught me so much as well. As well his insight on politics, he is a computer genious, and an accomplished country music singer and guitarist. I remember when we were together, him trying to teach me how to play the guitar. I was a horrible student, but he was so patient with me:)
Thanks so much, to everyone for your love and prayers. You all were there for me when my daddy went through almost the exact same thing 5 years ago, he passed on May 25th, 2004. That’s when I met CT on here. We realized we were from the same town, and met, and we just clicked. He was my rock.
I know he was also very close to someone named, I think BillyBob, and a Dr. Deb, not sure of their names on here. Could you please pass this along to them?
Love and prayers,
Lisa
I think a few years back he was thinking of leaving FR. I asked him not to leave and he didn't! His posts are always right on. Seems like he posted an opus if I remember correctly but there has been many of those, so I may be mistaken.
Tell him we are praying for him!
Prayers flying from more folks you’ve never met, CT (Mr. Tator seems somehow inappropriate).
ProfoundMan and ProfoundBabe
Common Tater, you are in my prayers tonight.
You’re in my thoughts and prayers,
Prayers for the Tator. He is one of the best Freepers and will be in my thoughts tonight and every day. I pray that the lord place his healing hands upon you and take away your pain and suffering. One way or the other you will soon be whole again, be it here or on the other side.
Prayers up Beautiful story
Our prayers are with you.
