Updates on wife Jane and Niece Diane

Some months back I asked for prayers for my wife Jane and niece Diane. Both were facing long odds to survive serious medical conditions. Last Sunday September 21, my dear wife Jane passed on to her heavenly reward. Jane was a faithful Catholic and a loving wife and mother. She was in the state of grace and I am comforted by that acknowledge. Jane had been in various hospitals and facilities for the last 18 weeks; and all of the medical problems that arose made fighting her stage 4 uterine cancer impossible.

Diane, has continued her fight to find a combination of medications and mechanisms that will keep her heart pumping. Last Friday Diane may just have found that special balance between machines and meds. We are excited to say Diane is doing very well although the next two weeks will be the real test. My own faith in God and Catholic faith that Jane and Diane shared has sustained me.

Please pray Diane's recovery continues and I can make it through these next few days.

Tomorrow we will wake Jane and Tuesday after a funeral Mass we will lay her to rest. Please pray Diane's recovery continues and I can make it through these next few days.

It's OK to cry as you pray, I know from experience.

As I have aged, I have learned the power of prayer, and been the recipient of it. A simple prayer can take under a minute and can do amazing things. I will happily pray for soul of this man’s wife, his daughter’s health challenges and his family. May God bless. We all need prayer.

You sound exhausted with love pouring out of you. Jesus knows that state. Adoration while you wait for things outside her room might be the best place to discharge, respite, and recharge.

God love you. Thanks for the update and request for continued prayers for both souls and your daughter’s health. And you while we’re at it.
