I am asking for prayer for an acquaintance who is losing her battle with breast cancer. She was diagnosed in Feb. of 05 - went through treatment i.e. chemo radiation and it came back with a vengeance in August of 06. Fifteen lung tumors and 2 brain tumors. She went for a second opinion at the Mayo Clinic and they felt confident that her brain tumors were something they could easily deal with but had a few more concerns with the lungs. She started aggressive chemo once again. She went back to the Mayo Clinic a few months later only to find she had many more brain tumors. (20)

She is a remarkable woman who truly lived her life to the fullest. She was incredibly positive and knew that without a miracle she was going "Home" to be with her Lord. She wasn't afraid and accepted what ever would be. She lived fearlessly - encouraged EVERYONE ELSE around her and was just a real blessing here on this earth.

As I type this she is in the process of "going home." I ask you all to pray that her transition to Heaven would be quick and without much suffering. Especially do I ask you to pray for God's Peace and Love to surround her husband, 2 year old daughter and the rest of her family. It's gotta be tough for them all.

Thank you all as I know the prayers will be pouring Heavenward.

You are all loved.
