8/27/05 My dear mom lost her battle with cancer last night around 10 pm. Denelle and I were at her side. She had a very peaceful death and is now with her Lord and my dear father. Please thank everyone from Share-a-Card for the wonderful gifts and cards throughout her and my father's illnesses. They both spoke so highly of all of you and Suzanne and for this wonderful organization and group. . ~Barb.

Elmer lost his mom at 4 yrs. old and sister at 14 yrs. of TB. He lived with his dad and cousins. His dad was 51 when he was born, so he basically had to take care of his dad. He met his wife Terri just after WWII where he nearly died from pneumonia. We think this illness was God's way of protecting him as most of his buddies died where he was fighting. He lived a wonderful life with my mom but has suffered many major illnesses. He was diagnosed with prostate cancer about 12 yrs ago and was in remission until just recently. He also suffered and abdominal aneurysm surgery for which his heart stopped during the surgery. He also endured bypass heart surgery and major artery reconstruction of his leg due to more aneurysms. My mom has been taking care of him, but has also been diagnosed with bladder cancer for which she just finished chemotherapy about 2 months ago. They both are very Christian people and have always given
everything to help anyone else. My dad has started to hemorrhage and aquired an infection which also has shortened his time considerably.

Terri would appreciate anything Christian.
