She never got strong and pain free even after all of the thymic carcinoma was removed by surgery in November, 2004. I believe that the antibodies she made against the tumor caused nerve damage that led to a stroke.
She reassured me the other day that she was saved when a teenager. I know that she's pain free now and sleeping in Christ. But the centerpiece of our family is gone.
Prayers on the way!
Prayers and comfort for you all.
Sorry for the doubling of the text.
Prayers do help and we got to keep Mama almost exactly 2 years after her diagnosis with what is usually a very aggressive cancer.
Sorry, that was Monday night, the 14th.
Thank you for the prayers.
The centerpiece of your family is still with you -
look in the mirror, and see her smiling back at you. Live in the knowledge that love never dies, and she is with you always; in Christ, and in you.
May the Lord comfort you in your sorrow.
Prayers for you and your family from Scottsdale, Arizona.
That's true and I'm glad that I got Mama's sense of humor and love of politics. (My daughter takes after her Daddy, but she laughs like me. That makes me prouder than if she were a clone of me.)
May your mother rest in peace. Prayers for your family.

Helen Margaret Jernigan Burnett, along with Daddy, Robert, made sure that I grew up knowing that God loved me and that He had sent His son to make it possible for all of us to know Him. I am forever grateful to that loving Creator for giving me this Mama and Daddy.
I'm a little scared of the next couple of days. Just remembering that y'all are praying for me will lend me support.
(I may not be back on-line for a while.)
