I just learned of some very sad news. My good friend, Geneva, who I always go to those high school lunches with, called to say that her son Marc, 49, had passed away. She was crying and of course I started crying too. She told me he never went to a doctor on a regular basis and that he had some bleeding and let it go for a while, thinking it was hemorrhoids but it wasn’t.

He went to the doctor and was hospitalized immediately and was in the hospital 21 days until his death. He was divorced and had no children.

My friend Geneva, was constantly doing something for others. She is one of the sweetest, easy going ladies that I have ever known. She would drop everything she was doing to help a friend like taking them to a doctor or taking food to someone sick.

She had her doctor’s degree in Education and before her retirement, she was a teacher for years, then Principal, then Superintendent. She worked in the Bristol, Virginia school system, just across town. We are two cities here as I’ve mentioned in the past.

None of us know what tomorrow may bring. Say a little prayer for Geneva as she deeply grieves the loss of her beloved son. I plan to go to visitation tonight.

Saying prayers for comfort for Geneva, Jaycee. There is nothing worse than losing a child. My heart goes out to her. May God hold her in His loving embrace as she grieves.
