OT - Sad news - DH's SIL lost her battle w/lung cancer yesterday Sign In/Join 
posted
Anne passed away yesterday on Christm@s Day at 4:00PM. According to BIL she died peacefully with him at her side. Please continue to pray for BIL. DH & I are worried about him. He's a 20 plus year recovering drug/alcohol ad dict. We are fearful this might make him fall back into that black abyss.

Not such a merry holiday. Just an ironic after word..DH's sister's FIL passed last year on Chris tmas Eve.

Take care everyone & hope the new year is a better one.

Hugs
Gina

So very sad. I will definitely keep your BIL on my prayer list. My first DH battled the alcohol demon...never shook it.

A couple of years ago a friend made it through the death of her DH without falling back into that sinkhole. Prayers do help.

Sending prayers of comfort to all the family. Keep your BIL close in heart and involved long after everyone goes back to their normal day to day routine. It will be a long walk.

Thanks everyone for all the T's & P's for Ray & Anne. The family will be there for him just as you have been here for me. I appreciate it more than I can ever say.

I've said it before but it bears repeating...YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST!

Thanks again,
Gina

pr@yers for the best. A close quilting friend of mine lost her DH this fall and ended up in the hospital the same day. They called it something like a widows heart attack. They did find some undiagnosed issues though. More hugs to all.
