For those of you who feel like praying, one of our vendors is in trouble!

[Mike V. Florida]

We pray for courage for his family as they support him and love him and surround him in care. We take this time to reflect on all that he has done for family, friends, and those he never met.

Dear Brent

I think it is time I let u know about Jim's condition and possibilities. He is in a very rapid decline. He can no longer speak fluently, read or write. He and his Dr. decided that it was time for hospice and withdrawl of meds, all of which has been done. He no longer gets up and has now been a week without food, only water. He recognizes people and tries to talk but makes no sense when he does. I mostly ask yes/no ? so he can nod or respond with one word. He has no pain. I don't know how long this will last but I suspect not mor than another few weeks, maybe even days. Funeral arrangements are in place. I am so thankful we have had this time of pure joy. He is truly the love of my life and I am so sad, and yet so grateful that he is in no pain or suffering. It is pretty amazing that he drove here on April 2 and now cannot even sit on the edge of the bed. His memories are fading rapidly. I am not sure about customers that had been writing to jim but obviously he is done doing carb work. please pay for continued mercy for Jim.

I just received another e-mail from her requesting that I put a notice on here suggesting I tell everyone that he cannot accept any more work or answer carb questions. If you don't mind, please lift Jim, his wife, their daughters & family up in prayer during this emotional time. Thank you.

.

Brent, please keep me updated as you find out anything. You know Jim and I got to be great friends when we worked at your shop and I think a lot of him. We didn't have the best start but after getting to know him closely, I found him to be one of the best people I could have become friends with. Prayers.

Our thoughts and prayers are with him.

Jim stopped by my shop two weeks ago and was joking about him getting old and now he has started to forget stuff at times and he had spoken with his Dr. because he was worried about getting Dementia. Later that day he received a phone call that no one ever wants to receive saying he needs to have additional tests done immediately as they have found what appears to be a brain tumor. Last week Jim and his wife Rose met with a surgeon and a biopsy was taken. The news from this was not good. Jim came by my shop again this past Thursday and we discussed "life", and his options. Jim is an ex-Marine and a strong physical man, ...but this one is tryin' to kick his tail with the time period of his life expectancy being measured now in months!

If you know Jim, I am sure he would like to hear from you with words of encouragement. If you don't happen to know Jim personally, I feel sure he would covet any prayer or encouraging thoughts you care to offer him.

Thanks everyone.

Always praying for a Marine brother. Thanks Brent, as a side note, we are former Marines, and never ex. Tell him Semper Fi for me.
