I have just received this sad communication from my sister-in-law about her sister, Sarah, who is suffering from breast cancer. She had been admitted to an acute care center in El Paso where she was to continue radiation and chemo, but has been returned to the hospital. (More in comments section.)
Very sad to hear about this. Rest assured we’ll continue to pray.
Prayers for Sarah and family.
I just went through this a few weeks ago. May God give them comfort.
Prayers for Sarah, her family and her friends.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone,
Our latest update from Paula relates the ever more saddening news that Sarah’s vital signs have become erratic and her breathing labored. It appears she will soon be reunited with her mother and father and brother, Bob.
The family extends their grateful thanks for the huge outpouring of prayers, support and kindness, which Paula says is a great comfort.
She also adds, “On this special day, we give thanks for all that Sarah has accomplished in her life. She touched so many with her work, her art, and her gentle, caring nature. All of us who know and love her will carry her in our hearts forever.”
Ever-faithful FReeper family, I will carry you in mine. Thank you.

I’m so sorry my dear :-(
Lord be near Sarah in the hour of her passage.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, amen.
I’ve been quiet all day floralamiss. Reflecting now, I cannot understand these things or will I attempt to. I only know that G-d is merciful. I’m helpless here and saddened to a degree that I thank Him more than ever today.
You see, I was spared last year and this year from kidney failure and hip necrosis. Why me? How can I question G-d and His Divine Mercy?
So very sad and yet comforted by the fact that all of these people are faithful servants.
May G-d Bless you and their entire family.
Have to stop now. Overwhelmed...
Oh, potlatch, I am so sorry for the loss of your daughter. I join with others who have come before the Lord in prayer, and ask on this Thanksgiving Day, that warm memories of your daughter will bring deep comfort to your grieving heart. May God bless.

One day, it will all be made clear to us.
As Pegita so often and graciously quotes from her Bible, “Length of days belong to you, O Lord ... for in His hand is the life of every living thing and the breath of all mankind.” Job 12:10
(((((HUGS!))))) to you, poobear. :-)
I know, honey. I am, too. J&P should be pulling-in about now. I can’t imagine how big sister’s heart is feeling, running towards little sister. Those long. lonely stretches of Texas highway... the entire width of the state... knowing your baby sister needs you... not knowing if you’ll make it in time. It sounds like a terrible dream from which one cannot awaken. :-*
The family is tremendously grateful. Thank you and may God bless the always faithful Brad’s Gramma and “Logan’s Prayer Warriors”!
BTTT
You have such a way with words... I am choking back tears. My prayers continue.
I’m so sorry about Sarah.
And bless you Potlatch.
I’ll never forget that you wrote to me the day after she passed to pray for my puppy, even though your sorrow and and needs were *by far* greater than my own.
You’re both in my prayers.
I can only hope that Sarah’s journey is an easy one.
She will soon see the glory of the Lord and be forever happy.
It’s only those of us left behind that feel sadness.
Floralamiss, I had each member say what they were thankful for before eating our dinner tonight. I said I was thankful for being introduced to Sarah... a beautiful, strong woman with a loving family who was soon to be with God. I pray that she is comfortable and will soon be free of any pain or worry. Soon, she will be with Our Lord and joyfully reunited with her Mother, Father and brother, Bob. Thank you for sharing her life, her joy, her hopes and dreams, and her last moments with us. Even in Sarah’s darkest hour, she gave a gift to FR. I mourn with her family even though I am miles and miles away. I feel a loss even though we never personally talked or met. God Bless, Floralamiss...
Prayers for Sarah on her final journey....
