Being around on this planet for some 58 years or so I have met many people. Of all these people I can only claim to have 3 friends over the years who I could count on through thick and thin. The guy to bail you out of jail or give you his last beer or cigarette without even flinching. The friend who would loan you $100 and not ask why. The friend who tells your wife yah he was at my house last night. A friend that every time he'd come over would bring beer and when you went to his house he handed you one before even saying hi. If your car broke down and you called him he'd ask where can I pick you up. These friends are few and far between. One I buried 15 years ago, the second I will bury tomorrow. If any of you have ever had a friend like this please say a prayer for them and for mine. Bob, you'll be sorrowfully missed by me but even more so by your family.
I want to thank all of you that offered their thoughts and prayers.
Bob hired me at the auto parts store that he managed back in June of 1969. I was fresh out of high school and had been sworn into the Army. Because I wouldn't be 18 for a few more months and the fact that my AIT didn't have an opening until early the following year I had some time to kill. Bob was buried this morning witch included a beautiful service and a an amazing eulogy from his 3 children.
The one thing though that I will probably never know or understand was how did he ever get the Budweiser truck to deliver to his house.
Thanks again to all.

They want to send her to St. Louis once she has regained some strength to see if the surgeons there will attempt more surgery. At this point she is on morphine drip with a pump that she controls to ease the pain. They do not promise a cure, maybe some partial relief. She is only 38. If you would please send up a prayer for Tiffany I would be ever so grateful.

I guess I'm pretty hardened up to death having watched so many in my family pass away. I would suggest if you ever have to deal with these things, and the person is in a coma, stay home and remember them they way they were. The process of watching a human body shut down and die is hard to watch and if you don't have to, then don't.

My husband's uncle passed away Saturday and services will be this Saturday coming up. Hubbie will be driving over ten hours one way to attend his funeral after working all day Friday. He has another uncle who has terminal cancer with no firm projection as to how much time is left as the uncle will not share this information with the family. We did get a chance to visit him last month in St. Louis.
My mom-in-law was able to be with her brother when he passed, but I fear for her health because she was the oldest. Her other brother and her mother passed away within the last year. She suffered a massive coronary a couple years ago and this stress will add up.
My uncle has heart health issues (he is 58) and has had over five heart surgeries. He is like a big brother to me and I fear his health is on a steady decline.
Please keep us all in your prayers.
One of Mrs. Zulu's coworker's young teenage daughter is currently fighting a very rare auto-immune disease, and is on a medication that will basically destroy what's left of her immune system for the better part of a year.
I ask for prayers that this young woman recovers from her ailment.
How you doin'!
Yesterday they sent her back to ICU. Her heart rate was extremely elevated and white blood count had dropped drastically. She is now on dialysis and they are trying to determine where she is harboring an infection. She has gone from 230lbs to 190 (lost 40 pounds) in the seven weeks that she has been hospitalized due to her inability to hold any food down. She has been throwing up anything she consumes.
My father passed away in December and she may not be fighting back like she should.
Please pray for her.
***KATN!***
Dad is the best man I ever met and the best Dad anyone could hope to have. Wish I lived closer so I could be with him.[V]
Any prayers would be appreciated. We believe in the power.
She was, if not the biggest influence on my life, one of the biggest influences in all things.
She held all the very desirable qualities one looks for in a person:
Loving
Kind
Devout Christian
Hard working
Smart as a whip even with minimal education
Writer of long letters
Tender
Stern
A wonderful story teller
Beautiful
Giving
Self deprecating
A great cook
A great baker
Loyal
An accomplished seamstress
A farmer
A fisher
A gardener
Dutiful wife
Doting mother of 4
and if you think there is some other quality that should be on a list of greatness, she is that too, most assuredly.
My wife's mother had been her care giver the last six years. It's been really hard on her to do that, and now to not have that in her life is going to be a big switch.
Thanks in advance
Thanks.
Dean's a good egg and need all the help he can get at this time.

I will explain the story later, but for now please pray for him, or at least keep a good thought for those who don't pray.
Thank you.

Both girls will spend the night in hospital tonight. My daughter was transferred to Parkland in Dallas with a subdural hematoma. They wanted a Neurosurgeon to look at her just as a precaution.
We had such high hopes for 2011 especially after loosing my son in March of 2010 and now already ten days into 2011 and this. I don't know how much more we can endure. Please pray for us and for Ally, (my daughter), and Jeanette, (Ally's friend).
The car is totalled and with only liability insurance we are perty much screwed. Oh well. Life goes on.
Thanks for any and all prayers.

Keep those players and families in your prayers. I played against several of these players through out high school.
Every thing went fine had her up this morning walking. 2 or 3 days in the hospital then home. PT 3 times a week looks like I get to use some of my sick leave. Thanks guys Jay
Rebecca who was only 17, was involved in auto accident just a year ago and was in a coma for two weeks and was hospitalized for months during her recovery.
The last words I had with her a few weeks past were how fragile life was and how I felt her life had been spared for great things in her future. She was a very sweet Innocent young lady and now she is gone.
If you could please say a prayer for her, and her family.
I honestly dont know what else to say.
