Common Tator is very, very ill, battling cancer...lung, to his liver.
Latest on Common Tator (as of 03-27-2009):
All,
My is so muddled right now, I don’t know who to post this to.
Ray is completly out of it now, not able to speak. I talked to his step-daughter a few minutes ago, and she said it is basically just a matter of time. I was going down tomorrow to see him, but she said that they prefer only close family to be there. Although I feel like I am Ray’s family, I will respect her wishes.
I’m just so blessed that just a few days ago, he gave me his last column, via telephone, which AF Phys helped me with. It’s on another thread.
I hope this post makes some kind of sense. My heart is hurting, I just pray for Ray to have a peaceful passing, and his step daughter said she would call me when that happens.
I can’t imagine my life without him. I guess I am in denial, I don’t know. All I can do is ask for your prayers.
Admin Mod please post the update for me.
Love and prayers,
Lisa

Here’s to ya Common! You’ve been blessed with wit and the ability to put it into words. I hope you overcome this, and you can bet I’ll pray for you. Whatever happens, you’ve already made a real impact on people, as I can see by this thread.
Prayers going up.

I am so sorry to hear of a fellow Freeper in trouble. Cancer is so cruel. My youngest uncle died at 54 from gall bladder cancer that spread before it was found. He fought it for a year. He was so young. Barely had gray hair before the cancer hit. Everyone was so stunned that he could be taken from us like that so fast. Left behind 3 kids. My Uncle wrote a message for all of us to hear at the memorial service. He said that cancer, horrible as it is, walked him home to Jesus.
1 Timothy 6:12 “Fight the good fight of faith, take hold of the eternal life to which you were called.”
Romans 8:18 “Yet what we suffer now is nothing compared to the glory He will give us later.”
Psalms 33:17 “Your eyes will see the King in His beauty and the highland of Heaven far away.”
Lisa,
Please send my best to Ray and let him know that we are praying for him. He is so smart and I have always enjoyed his posts. God Bless you both.
