There’s power in prayer and I will most certainly keep you all in my dailies as it is never easy to go through this w/ a loved one. The one thing is you’ll have a peace of mind your father n law is ready to go meet his maker and join his wife what could be more beautiful than that.
So sorry for your loss on John may he RIP and I’ll keep his family in my prayers too.

Somewhere I have an 8 by 10 marble slab with a really cool wooden (it’s dogwood if you haven’t heard the legend look it up) rack to hold it like a picture.

Sorry for your troubles, Cancer is an awful disease. It’s taken many people from me over the years. It’s one of the reasons I turned to vaping, as I was a heavy smoker myself for 25yrs.

My dad due to black lung from the coal mine and smoking, mom to cancer. It only took me 44 years of smoking and two heart attacks to realize it was going to kill me. I changed to vaping, that was 2 years 5 months and 25 days ago.

The scariest side of it I witnessed was my Grandfather, barely able to breath in the hospital, out of his mind with dementia and riddled with lung and bowel cancer, didn’t recognize me - at one point even asked the nurse “Who’s that lad there?” - which upset me, but then he started begging me to go buy him a pack of smokes 
It was all he wanted, while he was literally dying by the second. He was an 80-per-day smoker who also loved his pipes.
3.5yrs smoke free here, I’m only sorry I didn’t get sense much sooner.

Thank You All for the replies.
It has been hectic the couple of days. Getting ready for the viewing tonight of my friend John so not much time to be here. I won’t have much time to be on ELR but please know your thoughts and prayers are very welcome and comforting. I will try my best to drop in form time to time as I can.
God Bless you all.

Sorry I have not been here much but I know you all understand.
Many Thanks to all of you for yours thought’s and prayers. Words could not express what it means to me.
Elder William H Payne (my dear Father-In- Law) passed away early this morning 8/27/16 with his youngest Son. one of his Daughters and one of his Granddaughter’s at his side. He suffered very little in his final days and I am sure that is because of everyone’s prayers.
I memory of him I would like to share his favorite bible passage with you.
Psalm 23King James Version (KJV)
23 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.
4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
RIP Pop’s Love Ya
Again many Thanks for the support you have all shown it truly means a lot.
Dave
