Prayer Request

Don, Dick and My Dad having fun at High Point

For those of you who read our blog please pray for my Uncle Dick. He was diagnosed with a brain tumor about a week after William was born.

He had surgery last year to remove the tumor (most of it was removed) and things looked good. He traveled a lot last year and spent time with family and friends. He came up to High Point several times and we were able to visit with him. He went on several trips with Annette (his wife) and really enjoyed life. He recently took a trip with my parents to California and everyone had a wonderful time.

We just received some very sad news that the tumor has grown and has spread across to the right side of his brain. The tumor has tentacles and is inoperable. He has lost feeling in his left arm and leg and is sleeping a lot. He is not in any pain and we pray that this continues.

Please keep my uncle and aunt in your prayers. Please pray for their strength in the coming days.

Also please pray for my sweet Dad. Dick is his older brother and best friend. My dad has been by his side through everything and this most recent diagnosis is very hard on him. Please keep my dad in your prayers as well...just give him the strength to be there for my uncle and the rest of his family.
