Prayers for my favorite brother-in-law

Posted on 04/06/2005 3:22:40 PM PDT by ErnBatavia

My brother-in-law, Harvey Adams, has recently been diagnosed with lung cancer which has already spread to the lymph glands. Harvey has Down's Syndrome and is due to celebrate his 69th birthday on the 26th of this month. Sixty nine is extremely long-lived for one with Down's as I understand it. His prognosis is not good, given the cancers.

Harvey has always been the sweetest, nicest, most gentle soul and I love him as dearly as does his sister, my wife. He lives in a small town of around 300 in central Minnesota and it's the kind of situation where he knows everyone, and everyone knows him. The locals have my brother-in-law in their prayers, but I humbly request the efforts of the famous Free Republic Prayer Warriors.

May God hold this gentle man close to Him now and give him peace and strength. May He use His awesome healing power, if that is His will, in Jesus' name.

Sorry I didn't see this until today (April 12) I was out of town and am just now getting caught up on mail.
My prayers are with you and Linda and of course Harvey.

Prayers for Harvey and your family. Those with Down's syndrome seem to have such beautiful spirits. From the picture, Harvey seems to have the same.
