Sorry for long title and caps. I am typing thru tears. My mom is dying of pancreatic cancer. She raised my son and I got thru to Red Cross & Hospice and they approved it. Military is denying it saying she is not loco parentis. On top of that nobody knows how to do the paper work. My son is her baby (30 Year Old Marine) and she is all she wants. Seems to be holding on for him. She just took a drastic turn for the worst yesterday. I need a congressman/senator anyone who I can call and try to push this through. I am literally BEGGING. I am losing my best friend and I need My Son home but More importantly, SHE needs him. She is basically unconcious but everytime she hears a mans voice she screams out that Rob is Here Bring him to me now. Dont' know how much longer she has. Any help appreciated... Prayers too!. He has served 2 tours in Iraq and has made the Military his career and he is lost right now. Please. He is in Camp Lejuene, NC and is scheduled to go out on a training excerise tomorrow on ship. Hospice and Red Cross pushed it through and Military is pushing it somewhere else.

Prayers raised for you and your family,,,,prayers for the repose of your Mom’s soul..........
I am so sorry for your loss and that your son can’t be there. Prayers up.
I would call the base commander's office and tell them what is going on and I bet they will help. Also contact the Chaplin on his base and his commanding officer.
May God bless you and your family.

May God give you much comfort today and in the days ahead. I pray for His peace for you and your son and the rest of your family.
Lord, draw this family together that the stress and tensions between them would vanish and that they’d work together so that this time of mourning will become a precious time of family togetherness as they remember their Mother’s life.
