Robert

My sister called me late last night. Her best friend's father was just diagnosed with cancer. They found it in his liver, but that is not where it originated. They don't know, yet, from where it metastacized. They've given him 6-12 months. She asked that we include him here ... he & his family need prayers and positive thoughts to get through this trying time.

May they find strength and comfort through their love for each other.
May they know the love and support all around them.
May they find peace.
