The dreaded phone call is often expected, but we're never prepared when it is our loved one of whom the news concerns.  Marilyn Gilliam Kyle Deweese got just such a call today.  Finally content in her marriage to Frank, it seems as though declining health will soon usher Frank in to eternity.  Please pray for Frank that he will find peace and salvation through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  Please pray for Marilyn that her care giving days, no matter how long be filled with God's peace and strength.  She has her own disabilities with which to cope, but she needs to be strong for Frank.  The doctor says it will only be a matter of time as the cancer has invaded his system.  The other day when they removed the kidney, the family was filled with hope only to have reality deal that crushing blow that things are not as they seemed.  Hospice will be called in within a matter of time, and they will continue to learn more from the doctors as more news is available.  Frank doesn't know and it will be Marilyn's difficult task to tell him.  

I'm sure many of us have lost loved ones to cancer, so we know we can be there for them both as they walk through this valley.  I am babbling as I often do when I'm not sure what or how much to say, but please pray that Marilyn and Frank both become confident in their salvation and will have eternity's choices made before it is too late.  I love Marilyn.  We've known each other since I was four and she was five.  She is as much of a sister to me as if we had had the same parents.  

Thanks for keeping her and Frank in your prayers.  I'm going to try to visit her tomorrow night to take her some things.  She may be taking Frank home on Sunday.
