  • Sad Note/Prayer Request

    From Daryl Stout@1:2320/33 to All on Fri Oct 21 23:52:31 2022
    For those of you who pray, please keep MEMORIES moderator Joe
    Mackey in your thoughts and prayers. He emailed me the other day,
    disclosing that he has stage 4 lung cancer, and the doctors only
    give him from 6 weeks to 6 months to live.

    I was originally going to wait until I heard further from him,
    but decided to go ahead and get the word out now. Joe has the
    same cancer that killed my grandmother nearly 30 years ago...
    and I doubt that any family has escaped that scourge.

    As for what this means for the future of the MEMORIES echo, I
    don't know...but if I can get the needed info for the echo, and
    Joe's permission, I may see if I can take it over. The echo has
    such as rich history, and we've lost so many of its former
    members to illness or other reasons. Former valued member, the
    late Nancy Backus, was a fixture in here, and so many other
    echoes...and she is sorely missed.

    I'm sure things will work out.

    ..and surely loss is not going to be extraordinary news at any time.

    Aigist.

    Thx for sharing.

    I have not heard anything from him since that email.

    I'm sure things will work out.

    I hope so.

    None of us is getting out of here alive.

    The physical body dies, yes. But there is a hope for the everlasting.

    August,

    ..and surely loss is not going to be extraordinary news at any time.

    None of us is getting out of here alive.

    The physical body dies, yes. But there is a hope for the everlasting.

    We're not like the Saducees who didn't believe in life after death.

    So, they're sad, you see. <G>
