Update/ long and outt there, sorry

I felt the need to post more about Rebecca. I am having such a hard time with letting her go. I feel that its so unfair. When I was growing up in Mt Pleasant, we had these wonderful neighbors move in when I was 12. They had two children, a 4 year old named Jeff and a 3 month old baby named Alison. Our families became very close, and Alison quickly because "MY BABY" I babysat them for years and they are our second family. Allison's father (now retired) was the head of the radiation oncology center at Roper. When Alison was diagnosed with leukemia We were devastated but knew that she would make it, she had the opportunity to definately receive the best treatment in the world, neither money nor location would be an issues. After fighting so hard for 7 years, Alison passed away. None of my family has ever felt that kind of grief before. I will never forget the look on my 18 year old brother's face as he was a pallbearer, carrying Alison to her grave. So once again, when Rebecca was diagnosed, my mom and I both said it will be okay, how can two children that we love so be taken. Now we are facing her death. I am really struggling with faith and hope right now. Thanks for listening Mary

Mary...God knows..remember Martha and Mary over Lazarus (which is one of Rebecca's favorite Bible Stories) they were questioning HIm why...He wasn't upset with them but told them to remember the resurrection....now just as Rebecca's web page said...she will take either resurrection from the Lord...a healed body or a resurrection into the arms of Jesus Body. It is harder for the grieving ones I think because we don't want to let go but the one's that are God's children, who are leaving get the peace of God that passes all understanding. Father, I lift Mary to You now and ask that in Corinthians it says You are the God of ALL comfort. Comfort her now in Jesus' Name I pray...Amen Jesus came to give life and Rebecca understands that better than most Christians I know. I signed her web page and prayed for her. Love in the One Who Loves, Joan M

I am sorry you are going through this Mary. I wish there were was something I could say to make you feel better. But I am at a lost except to say you and Rebecca are in my thoughts and prayers. (((HUGS))) Julie

((((HUGS)))) I'm so sorry to hear about Rebecca. Thats so sad seems like cancer takes the best of people and leaves the evil ones here on earth for some odd reason. I had a cousin die of cancer when she was 2. It was the saddest funeral ever. She will be in my thoughts and prayers.

... DON'T LET HER GO UNTIL YOU HAVE NO CHOICE ... STAND ON HER "LAZARUS" PRAYER REQUEST ... FIND JOY IN EACH MOMENT SHE IS STILL WITH US ... DON'T MOURN HER WHILE SHE STILL BLESSES THIS EARTH WITH HER SPECIAL PRESENCE ... KEEP HOPE & FAITH ALIVE ... FIND JOY IN HER PRECIOUS SPIRIT ... BE AS STRONG AS SHE IS ... LIVE YOUR LIFE DIFFERENTLY, BETTER, TO HONOR HER GRACE ... THERE WILL BE TIME ENOUGH FOR TEARS WHEN SHE IS GONE, WHETHER THAT IS SOON OR 70 YEARS FROM NOW. WASTE NOT ONE MOMENT IN SADDNESS WHILE SHE GRACES OUR LIVES. IF SHE STAYS STRONG, WE CANNOT DO LESS! &, IF SHE WEAKENS, WE MUST BECOME STRONGER & HOLD HER UP! GOD BLESS YOU MY DEAR FRIEND ... DAWN & NICk

Wow mary, you guys are going through alot right now.. I had no idea! Ill be praying for her and you for a healing!!!!! All things are possible through Christ !!! jen

Hey Mary, I am soooo sorry. This is just unexplainable. I know that many Christians I have talked to and know, are going through some storm in their lives right now. It seems to be a season of storms. I can only say that in the storm, there is a guiding light that will give you peace beyond understanding. My mother in law is in stage 3 colon cancer, and all we can stand on is the Word. The Word of God will give you peace, and we are just praying that even though we acknowledge the reports of the doctors, we don't have to believe them. We will stand and pray for life, not death. Life and death are set before us, and blessing and the curse, choose this day life. Its in Romans I think, I need to look it up, but we are believing life for Dianne, my mother in law, and we will just speak life, not death to your daughter. Remember, God is still on the throne, nothing takes him by surprise, He is sovereign. I am sending you a big hug from the Holy Spirit. God Bless Deb
