Tawny needs your prayers and update on me

September 13, 2004

Hi all!...I am back in OK...it was a fast trip to NY at a horrible

time. My father had been diagnosed with level 4 brain cancer and

told that the radiation treatment that he was on - may or may not do

any good...He was on a lot of medication and it messed with his

thought processes...He made a terrible decision Friday morning very

early and took his own life. I am not dealing well with this but I

am a survivor and a fighter so I will let time ease my pain as I

don't think anything else will. I am angray with him right now and

I know that to is just one of the many steps I will be going through

in the next days, weeks and months.

My Father's name was Earl W. Helf and he was born on the 4th of June

in 1928 and died on the 10th of June 2004. If anyone has a parent,

friend or loved one with cancer that is inoperable and the doctors

are giving them lots of medications that are warping there thought

processes please pray for them but most of all don't leave them

alone and get them counceling.

NOW for what is more important at the moment...

Tawny is in the hospital. She called me just a little while ago and

is in St 's in OKC in room 3017. She is having very bad

heart problems and they think she has some blockage. She will be

having several tests done starting at 1 o'clock tomorrow. I am

going to call her in the morning and if no one from her family has

arrived I will drive down to be with her while the tests are being

run. Jim had a run to NY and was broken down and she doesn't know

when exactly he will be back but he does know and will be getting

there as quickly as he can.

Tawny needs our prayers right now. So wonderful group members - we

do great things with our prayers so lets all start praying for

Tawny. I will let you know anything else that I find out as I find

it out.

I appreciate all the prayers that were said for me and all the ones

that you continue to say for me. This is a hard time but I will get

through it or I won't but I tend to think I will survive...we have

to don't we.

God bless,

Althea
