A FRIEND'S FIGHT

A DEAR FRIEND AND FELLOW CANCER WARRIOR finished her battle and went home to be with the Lord on Monday.  I'm so thankful that I was able to tell Renee once again during her stay at MRMC two weeks ago that she was such a strong inspiration to me in my battle, and how I thought of her when I needed strength.  She fought liver cancer for several years now and was a beautiful 57 yr. old woman, wife, mother, grandmother, Christian, and had even received her masters in nursing in recent years.  I believe she trusted the Lord's sovereignty to the end even when she didn't understand and fought the normal fears that anyone of us would have faced in her situation.  I was inspired and emotionally moved as she continued to makes steps toward her faith in God, and desired to do ministry for Him right up until the end.  Renee had been moved to a hospice house in the Villages for the last week where loving family members surrounded her and graciously allowed friends like us, and church family to come to sit with her and them.

PLEASE REMEMBER the Juderjahn family in your prayers, praying for the peace and comfort only our Lord can bring.  I pray for only a portion of the courage she displayed.  In loving memory.
