Dear Peggy,

     I am very saddened to hear of your loss, and I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. We lost my brother in law to pancreatic cancer 22 months ago. He had gone to the hospital because of the pain from what the doctor thought was an infection, only to discover it was cancer. That was August 9th and he died on Sept 5th not even a month later. Still there are things that cancer nor death can take from you - though at times it seems as though it does:

     (Romans 8:38, 39) "For I am convinced that neither death nor life nor angels nor governments nor things now here nor things to come nor powers nor height nor depth nor any other creation will be able to separate us from God’s love"
    
     (Isaiah 41:10) Do not be afraid, for I am with you. Do not be anxious, for I am your God. I will fortify you, yes, I will help you, I will really hold on to you with my right hand of righteousness.’
     Even when no human is by your side God is, and he cares for each of us individually. Everyone here has gone through unbearable sadness and offers their hand to you for help and support. We have all found that talking is a big help and we will listen anytime you need.

     (Proverbs 17:17) "A true friend shows love at all times, And is a brother who is born for times of distress."
