Re: Fw: Please Pray for Jeff

[Guest guest]

Dear Friend,

I will certainly pray for Jeff...It is so sad to hear that

someone is incarcerated that is innocent and on top of that so very

sick. It breaks my heart to hear that cancer may take the life of

this young man, only 44 years old... Altho my kin see death as a

place between worlds, I can sympathize with his plight. It cannot be

easy to be in a place where there is not much love or human contact.

I will keep Jeff in my prayers...Please if you can update our family

on how he is doing. I will concentrate on his physical as well as

mental well being...Please let him know that someone in Massachusetts

is thinking of him and cares that he get well!! Love and light, LUNA

The doctor took out most of the tumor, but he could not get it all.

The cancer is aggressive and can take out the brain very quickly. I

will receive chemo and radiation therapy. I am very scared, and I

hope and pray I will have the strength to complete the therapy and

live a little longer.
