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
Your welcome Beautiful.I am here and I am praying.
Thank you, Fatima.
Notre père, qui êtes aux cieux!
Que votre nom soit sanctificié. Que votre règne vienne.
Que votre volonté soit faite, sur la terre comme au ciel.
Donnez-nous aujourd'hui notre poindre ce jour.
Pardonnez-nous nos offenses, comme nous pardonnons aussi a ceux, qui nous ont offensés,
et ne nous soumetez pas à la tentation, mais délivrez-nous du mal.
Car c'est à toi qu'appartiènne, le régne, la puissance et la gloire, pour les siècles des siècles.
Amen.
Je vous salue, Marie, pleine de grâces,
le Seigneur est avec vous, vous êtes bénie entre toutes les femmes,
et Jésus le fruit de vos entrailles est béni.
Sainte Marie, Mère de Dieu, priez pour nous pauvres pécheurs,
maintenant, et à l'heure de notre mort. Ainsi-soit-il.
Garde la Foi, mes amis! Nous nous sommes les sauveurs de la République! Maintenant et Toujours!
(Keep the Faith, my friends! We are the saviors of the Republic! Now and Forever!)

Heartbreaking, Lisa. I will pray for you and Ray most particularly, and Ray’s family. May God bless and comfort you all.
So very sorry to hear this sad news. God bless and be with you all during this very difficult time.
Prayers for CT to have a peaceful passing.
So sorry to hear this.
He’s been in my prayers.
Praying for our Lord’s Comfort and Peace to be with Common Tator, and with all who Love him.
We cannot begin to imagine the heavenly delights that are opening up to our beloved Common Tator, yet we know the pain and sorrow we feel in his leaving. Weeping with you, Lisa, yet rejoicing with Ray as he meets his Savior face to face.

Prayers that you will be comforted with God's peace, Lisa, for I know it hurts to be away, but he knows he's in your heart, and that you'll hold him so dearly there, until you meet again.
I want him to be at peace and free of pain.
It is such a loss to so many of us.
May God bless Ray and all who love him. I’m sorry that you aren’t allowed to be there.
I’m so sorry for the hurt in your heart and am sending prayers your way as well as for Ray.
A long time ago, someone told me that no one is really gone unless they are forgotten. I don’t think you will ever forget him.
God bless.

Fervent prayers are being said for you both now.
May God bless and hold you both close.
"Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade -- kept in heaven for you, who through faith are shielded by God's power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time. In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. These have come so that your faith -- of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire -- may be proved genuine and may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed. Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, for you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls" (1 Peter 1:3-9, ESV)
Lisa.....thank you for the news.
CT has been in my thoughts for a while. I miss him...as he has always been such a terrific FRiend and teacher.
I learned so much about elections from him, especially this last year.
May God be with you and CT, Lisa.
Very sad news. I join in prayer for Common Tator and all the loved ones as they deal with his homegoing.
Joining in prayers here for you both.
I am so sorry, Lisa. I have been praying for him every night, and will do so as I go to bed this evening.
He has been such a good friend and teacher to all of us. Everything I know about political analysis I learned from him.
I will be praying for you, too.
