Will you please light a candle for my friend Kenny "Doc". He is a country vet that we have known for years and we have a close friendship with him and his family. He is dying of cancer and it looks as if he only has a few days left. We are all saddened by this. WE knew that the day was coming but we didn't know it would be this soon. My god-sister and her mother are closer than I to him and his family and as you could imagine it has been very difficult. He has 4 kids (all which all but 1 are grown and moved out of the house.) His youngest daughter is only 16 and she has had some issues of her own lately with drugs etc. Anyway, I would appreciate your thoughts and prayers as there is alot of arguing right now with the family etc and Doc is failing fast. Thanks

Here's a sad up-date on Doc. Doc apparently fell yesterday and broke his arm and shoulder. There is nothing they can do for him because his cancer is so progressed. Today Doc can't talk so it's just a matter of time. My heart is just broken. There are no words to describe how I feel. My family has really taken it hard which I guess is to be expected. I just am so numb right now. Doc's family has really made things hard the last few days. Please just keep Doc, his family and mine in your thoughts. Doc is in alot of pain and is having to stay on lots of pain medication. My hope is that everyone will just get along and that Doc will have no pain!!! Thanks for your caring, and your thoughtful words. Love Always, Joya

I am so sorry to hear of Doc's struggle and nearing end. I am especially saddened to hear of the family's arguing and fighting during this trying time. I pray specifically for the family to come to peace between them and also for Doc's pain to be controlled and that his passing is as comfortable as possible. I will light a candle for Doc now.

PS I will look for a group called Doc and if I can not find one I will start one. I hope that is ok with everyone.

Dear Forum Friends,

Here is a partial message I got from our dear Joya:
 
"Will you please let the forum know that my computer is still in the shop and that my friend did pass "Doc" did pass away Last Sunday. It has been hard on us all but we are making it. Will you thank everyone for their thoughts and prayers and tell them that I hope to catch up soon? Also, Betty and the kids seem to be doing fine. ThanK God. I talk to her every day."

I am very sad to hear of Doc's passing regarding the loss for us here on the planet, but happy for him to be without pain finally. Death is never easy on us, but I feel personally that knowing the person isnt suffering any more can ease the pain. Also, if you believe in an afterlife, which I do, that makes the passing even easier to bear.

Have a good day all.....

Luv~K

Dear Karen . . .

He has been much in my thoughts these last days.
Gone from this place now,
but present in another . . .
free from pain
free from care . . .
I light a candle to honour his life
