Sorry to hear about the loss of yoru friend Doris. I don't know what to say
that  hasn't been said or ring of a cliché'. Psalm 23 I guess.

Subject: Update on Our Friends Anna and Curt from Minnesota

Our frined curt started his first round of chemo (four rounds of one 
week with five treatments , then three weeks off) this past Tuesday 
for his battle with germ cell cancer. He was kept in the hospital for 
the first round of chemo because of the location of the tumor in the 
thorax and the involvement of Curt's heart.

Curt did ok with his first three treatments. He was blessed to not be 
nauseated much and to have maintained his appetite.Then Friday 
morning while he was sitting on the edge of his bed and talking to a 
nurse, he suddenly collapsed and never regained consciousness. anna 
contacted me earlier today and reported that curt had died.

Anna and Curt had been a cople for more than twelve years and had 
lived together  for about ten out of those.  This is more than many 
couples are married.

Curt's sudden death comes as a shock for all of his friends. The news 
of the cancer had been bad but this cancer was supposed to be very 
susceptable to chemo and easily treatable.

I have been really good friends with Anna ever sinceChris's and my 
time in Minnesota from 1999 to 2000 and I was the one who asked Curt 
to help out Anna when she needed hhelp with her first computer back 
in 2000. I do not really know how to comfort anna except to entrust 
her into God's care. anna is a Christian girl and that is a comfort 
but losing a friend and life partner so suddenly is still a terrible 
blow and beyond words stuff.

Please pray for Anna and for all the friends and families affected by 
Curt's death. Curt was a good guy who was always ready to help others 
and, w hile fully sighted, had many friends in the blind community.

Thanks much for your prayers.

In God's loving grip!
