Do any of you have prayer requests??

My uncle Joel passed on today.

They were supposed to have his triple heart valve replacement surgery on Tuesday. They moved it to Thursday. He had a 50/50 chance of making it.

My poor mother was in tears. It's rare to see her upset like that. She has collected herself because she said he wouldn't want everyone to be upset. He'd want everyone to still celebrate the 4th.

One of the things my mom said was that she wasn't going to be able to say goodbye to him. I really wish I could get her out there somehow. I really really wish. I didn't know my uncle Joel too much, since we're so far away, however, seeing my mom so upset had me in tears as well.

Rest well, Uncle Joel.....

prayers for all who need them

Kay, I'm sorry about your uncle. May he rest in peace.


Tomorrow is the court date for my brother. Everything is scheduled for tomorrow. Our lawyers have an appellate issue that the judge is suppose to rule on as well as dropping one of the charges and his sentencing. Hopefully the judge will be able to see us since we are last for the day. Tomorrow will be emotional and I don't know what to expect. All I ask for is everyone who can spare a few prayers to pray for my brother and family. Court is at 4pm.

Kay, I am really sorry to hear about your Uncle Joel.

Amber, I'll be thinking of you.

Thanks for the prayers everyone. We still need them. He was sentenced to 20 years. Where is the crying icon?

[Kfamr]

I'm so sorry Amber.

Just like talking to my mom about her brother, I am completely at loss of words. I know there's nothing I could say to make things better, so I just wanted to let you know I'm thinking of you.

[Alysser]

Oh, Amber. I am speechless..I am so so sorry. I will definately be thinking of you. {{hugs}} I really can't think of anything to say otherwise..

[wolf_Q]

Kay I'm so sorry to hear about your uncle. And Amber I'm very sorry to hear about your brother too. I wish there was something I could say or do that would help, please know that I'm thinking of you both and your families.

Amber - I pray that the DCA shows some common sense and compassion!

HUGS.

I hope you get to see your brother soon.

-sigh- When it rains, it pours, right?

My Memaw's sister, Bonnie, passed away. Sometime this evening she is driving to Michigan with my aunt to attend her funeral.

As if things weren't stressful enough for my Memaw, with my Papa being sick.


Sorry for overloading this thread. It seems I've posted in here far too much lately.

Kay - not sure what MeMaw is....you mean your mom lost a sister now?

OMG....Prayers big time...for you and all your family.

My brother-in-law was diagnosed yesterday with untreatable pancreatic cancer. They removed a softball sized tumor that was attached to his liver. The doctors say he's got less than two months, but not to expect two full months...

Memaw is what I call my grandma. The poor lady has watched her husband go through a nasty episode, was sent to the ER herself, and now she's lost her sister.

Today marks one year that my Uncle Joel passed.

I know he's celebrating today by rocking out on his guitar or something.
