Kicking and Screaming

Duane informed all of us last night that he will fight until he can't fight anymore. So we stand by this man holding on to every moment, praying, and helping him fight the good fight.
Thank you for all the words of comfort, every last one of you are my angels watching over me and my family. We love Duane with every ounce of our bodies, we cry for the pain he is going through, we pray for comfort and knowledge. Most importantly we have a sure knowledge of eternal life, of the divine love of our Father in Heaven, of the fact that Families are Eternal!

Hello Becky,

Praising God for this overcoming
statement your hubby made last night. Going on and giving it his all. Speaking that the peace that surpasses all understanding, the blood of Jesus, the Price He paid for Duane, brings peace and restoration in his total being.
His mind, thoughts staying focused on the Gift of Jesus,the Resurrected power to take hold in Duane. Heavenly Father we thank you for all the miracles taking place in this beautiful family.
Praising and honoring You with trumpet sounds and amazing songs,
to bring You glory and Peace within all of the family.

"I waited patiently for the Lord's help; then He listened to Duane and heard Duane's cry.
He pulled Duane out of a dangerous pit,out of the deadly quicksand.
He set Duane safely on a Rock and made Duane secure.
He taught Duane to sing a new song, a song of Praise to Our God.
Many who see this will take warning and will put their trust in the Lord." Psalm 40:1-3 good news translation.

God bless Marjo

I saw your blog through my friend Lindsay A.'s blog.

I am thankful for the principle of Eternal Families. I know it still must take so much courage and faith to believe that. You sound like the most courageous and faithful woman I have heard of though.

I think your sweetheart will be making you and your 7 angels a beautiful home in Heaven.

Love, a new friend - Ismari

Becky,
I found your blog through my sister Lindsay. I can't imagine your grief right now, but it made me choke up and I have never even met you.

My thoughts and prayers go to you and your sweet children. May our Heavenly Father keep you safe in His hand. Your Superman must have been quite a special person. He can now look down from heaven and be by your side in all you do. Be strong and know that he will be with you forever!!
