Snopes says it’s true, but the first request was made in 2001.
Meant to say also that what you did by requesting prayer here was totally understandable and a very good thing, imo.
I admire Gary Hogman for sending out that request for prayer for his wife Cindy at the time, and I pray that all is well with his family today.
Snopes also says that a note from Gary in 2002 said that the wife’s cancer was in remission, but that she was still in danger.
This story reminds me of that kid in England about 18 years ago. His name was something like Craig Shergold.
