Don is failing very fast. They tell me it will probably be before the weekend. We are keeping him as pain free as we can. Hospice people are awesome. Lots of family are with me. Even his 97 year old mother. This is really hard for her. Keep us in your prayers.

    Peace be with you Reba & Family
    Dear Reba:

    I don't know you and Don but my heart aches for you and your family. There truly are no words to comfort you - I just wanted you to know that I am praying to God for comfort for Don and you.

    I am happy that you have family with you and Don right now - you will all need each other now and Don needs all of you too.

    Please know you are in our thoughts and prayers.

    Peace be with you,
    Judy & Don Reed

    May the Peace of God be with you. So glad you have family to surround you - you need them and Don needs them. I do not know how difficult this time must be for you, but please know that I am praying for each of you.

    We have only traveled this path with you a short time as we are new to this. My Don has not started treatment yet, but I know that your Don has in some way contributed to the treatment my Don will soon receive and we thank you and Don for that.

    May God bless you and comfort you all.

    Peace be with you,
    Judy

    So Sorry
    Pain free is good. You know you have our love and care. Don will be at rest soon. Then YOU'LL need to recover. So you take care, and keep in touch with the crew here.
