More bad news

There are no words to express how things are going right now. It feels like we take 1 step forward and 2 steps back. My mil, Louisa, was diagnosed with malignant colon cancer and will be having surgery to remove it. Please keep her and her family in your prayers. She beat bladder cancer over 8 years ago, so we are hoping she gives this a good fight also. She is a very strong person and has raised 5 boys on her own. Al's father drowned trying to save his nephew when Al was almost 3, but both drowned after being caught up in an under current in New Orleans. She has recently lost her oldest son and her youngest son was murdered, so she has had a rough life. Al's other brother and niece lost everything in Katrina, the brother lived in St. Bernard and their house was under water with only the peak showing and his niece lived in Lakeview, next to the levee that broke. Al's family has been through a lot in the last 2 years, so they need all the prayers you can give. Thanks everyone, Pat
