I’ve been wondering how it’s going for him, so sorry and hopefully praying.JoyE wrote: ↑Thu Dec 04, 2025 9:20 pm My brother Joseph--the one whose son was murdered this year--was diagnosed with colon cancer and leukemia. He went through surgery and chemo. Now he has been basically sent home to die.
There are a number of natural methods to fight cancer, and his wife is trying a simple one.
Prayers would be appreciated.

Valerie, the hospice nurse told me this evening that Joseph will be gone within two days. The chemo damaged his body very badly. His wife has taken wonderful, loving care of him, and it will be very hard on her when he dies. But we know where he'll be, and that comforts as nothing else.

In my reading times morning was this passage:
“Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints” Psalm 116:15
I am thankful we had a chance to meet them- fond memories.

Re: Prayer Requests & Personal Testimonies
Joseph is at Home with the Lord. Thankfully, Grace and Lyn and I were at his bedside. We had sung hymns for him, which I believe helped. He didn't admit to pain unless asked, and one of the hospital nurses had called him her favorite patient, because he was so kind, uncomplaining, and compliant. His widow doesn't know yet where she will go, except she plans to come down here and bring the electric scooter, as well as her apartment dryer. Both of them have shown a very giving spirit.

Re: Prayer Requests & Personal Testimonies
Thank you all for the prayers. As much as Grace and I and the rest of the family miss him, it is much, much harder for Lyn, so continued prayers would be appreciated.
