He Didn't Lose.

Myself and my family would like to thank all you wonderful people who kept myself, my uncle, and our family in your prayers and I am saddened and heartbroken to announce that my uncle has passed away (about an hour ago) after fighting a courageous fight against leukemia.

I read one of my dear bloggy friend's Jen site today and saw that her friend also passed away from cancer and I ventured to read her friends husband site, and now after learning of my uncle's passing the words this man wrote stick with me.

"Susan’s part in the battle is over, but she didn’t lose. She led the charge. She showed the rest of us how to fight..."

And I believe that is soo true.

They didn't lose.

In my eyes they are winners, because they are now resting comfortably with the Lord. Someday I hope I am just as lucky as they are!

I Love You Uncle Ed

You don't know how much you and Aunt Jeannie's open arms and love and affection has meant to me over the years. Of all the family, you were the most comforting and welcoming of me when I met Dad. I love you very much and will miss you dearly!

And please if you will, keep my Aunt Jean in your prayers. She has lost a son, had a stroke, and has now lost her husband in less than a year and really needs all the love and prayers that people are willing to send.

Thanks again ladies for letting me share this difficult time with you.
