Well today I believe that my brother Larry found Yonder. Larry died this morning shortly after 8 am. Two weeks ago my mother and I learned that his cancer had returned. Mom and I were waiting to meet with his cancer doctor to learn of the prognosis before sharing it publicly. That meeting was scheduled for this week. Since returning to the nursing home last Wednesday night, Larry had not been doing well. He was vomiting even with the feeding tube in place. He was quiet as well as sleeping a lot. None the less it was a bit of a shock to receive the call Sunday morning that we needed to prepare to say good-bye. From the time we learned of the cancer's return, I have been praying for mercy. I have prayed that Larry would not suffer long. God has indeed been faithful to answer that prayer. I have many stories I would love to tell you of God's grace and mercy over the past weeks. I hope to share them with you at a later time.
A memorial service will be in Kansas later this spring and we are planning to have visitation here in the next few days. I will continue to provide updated information as well as stories of God's goodness in the days to come.
