    Praying for healing
    Dear Lisa,

    I want you to know I have not given up on that miracle either. I am not going to stop praying and asking our Lord to heal you. My heart breaks with this news. You are such a special person that deserves heaven more than anyone I know, but I know you love your family with all your heart and want to be here with them. May God give you and your family strength, peace and healing. I don't understand life...

    I love you,
    Sara

    Thank you for sharing this hard news with us, your note is very poignant.

    Make sure they get you a comfortable bed. We did not find out till afterwards that the hospital style airbeds were available and now we are having the existing bed modified.

    Dearest Lisa

    The fight inside you is unparalleled...like all the other folks, I've had a ringside seat to all the action - the highs and the lows - the tears and the fears - and the trials and the smiles...

    As with everyone else, I am deeply saddened by the turn of events. You and your story are to be admired...you do honor to this board. Your knowledge and willingness to share your story is much appreciated...you have taught us many invaluable lessons.

    You've certainly been a good friend to me and I've appreciated our talks. You've got a big heart - you should have lived in Texas, because I think you define our saying, "You've got a heart as big as Texas..."

    Joining the others in sending up a "Hail Mary" and hoping it is heard.

    With Love, Gratitude and Admiration

    Lisa.........
    I love you also..........and I too am going to keep a prayer up for you for full remission, as well as for family members comfort and peace through this storm. God can if He decides to. We know that its in His hands...we also know that He will be in comforting you and your family through all the journey. This is when we have to rely on what we believe in and instill it in our family members that we will all be together again. It does help to calm the soul even through sad times. Crying for you and family but I know as you do where you will be if the miracle doesn't come, Lisa, you know as I its a win/win situation when Heaven is involved..........Rest young lady...let God take care of the rest........love to you and yours....Clift

    You've been so strong and brave, Lisa-
    and have done everything you could to beat this wretched cancer. My prayers are with you, and your husband and children. I have three kids myself, the youngest just seven, and it's just heartbreaking what our dear ones have to go through. But your kids have been nurtured by a wonderful, loving mom, and will have the foundation and resiliency they need to face whatever the future holds for them. Love and peace to you-Ann

    Lisa, I will pray for your family and I will also continue to pray for your miracle.
    Your post brought me to tears because I know what it's like to have the heart of a mother. I hate the thought of you having to hold your daughter and not being able to tell her that you won't leave her. That is what we mom's do, we make everything all better and when we can't change something for them we are there to hold them. I pray that you are able to stay with your family Lisa, I pray that your children keep their Mom. I am so sorry to hear this, you are the kindest of souls and you have made a difference in my life by encouraging me to hang on when all I wanted to do was jump. I pray that GOD blesses you and your family in a way that only HE can be glorified, a big whopping miracle!

    Miracles
    I do believe in them.
    The thing that comforts me the most while living in this world filled with suffering, is that when there are those great times, and beauty-filled moments, I know that is God showing me a glimpse of what will surround me all of the time, with perfect peace, when He decides to bring me Home. For each of us, no one knows when that will be.
    Will continue to pray for you, Lisa. I'm with everyone else thanking you for your heart of gold!!!!

    Oh dear Lisa, this is truly heartbreaking news, but I too believe that there are miracles and I pray that you will have one delivered to you. I've always admired your courage and strength and generosity of spirit. I send you my warmest thoughts across the miles.

    Lisa,
    I am so saddened by your news. You have shown such strength here on the board. I hope I can have your courage and grace if I ever get to the same point as you are now. I believe there can be miracles and will be praying for healing and peace for you.

    I get SO frustrated that we can make so many other medical advances but cancer still slips through the cracks. When will cancer get the advances it needs to stop the deaths?! Sorry I tend to rant when I get emotional.

    I wish comfort for you and your family.

I too believe in miracles and will keep praying for you and your family. But I'm glad that you know you are not alone and you can draw peace from that.
    Love and Light,

    Dear Lisa
    Dear Lisa,

    My hear was filled with sadness as I read your post but then replaced with a smile as I read all the wonderful things that were written about you.

    It is evident what a kind hearted caring person you are. You were so sweet to me when I came to the board and I thank you for that.

    I know that we share faith in our God but I still dont understand some of the things that HE allows. I do believe in miracles and know they can happen. I hope and pray that it happens for you.

    Another thing that is evident to me Lisa is that you are an amazing mom. You have always been honest with your children....sharing your ups and downs....you have shown them what amazing courage is like...how to "fight like a girl" and so many other wonderful life lessons that they will hold in their hearts and minds forever.

    I wish you and your family peace, memories, and miracles in the days to come.

    With much love,
    Dawn

    Dear Lisa (religious in nature)
    Oh, Lisa.

    I've already expressed some thoughts to you on facebook, but I did want to talk about one thing that I didn't there. You may remember that my Bill had a sudden cardiac arrest and is one of those miracles we all hope for in life. He was revived and is still here with me more than 11 years later. While under, he did have a near death experience and got a glimpse of Heaven. He has told me many times that not only was it beautiful, but it was so peaceful and so free of pain or worries. Left to his own devices, he would have stayed, but was instructed to "go back." As a wife, it's hard to hear that he wasn't frantic to get back to me and the kids, but it is also reassuring to know that it's a place where earthly concerns no longer matter.

    If you are not granted the miracle I want for you SO MUCH, I'm at least comforted by what awaits you on the other side. Praying for peace and comfort for you and your family.

    *hugs*

    Prayers to you and yours. Hospice may be your answer for more time with your family. I think of checking it out. If you get a good one, you may be more comfortable and have more time then you think. Thinking of you as you take this journey. Pat
