I have mentioned on this blog that my sister has cancer. She has been in hospice care for the last four months. Yesterday she went into a hospice room at the hospital, and it looks like she is now in her last few days of life in this world. She’s ready for the world that transcends this one, and I am praying that God will take her gently there at just the right moment.
If you are a praying person, please say a quick prayer for J and for all her loved ones.
UPDATE: Thanks, everyone. I appreciate the support. My sister died early this morning, April 30. She died knowing the Lord and very peacefully. It was a blessing to see the beautiful look of peace on her face. I am confident that I will be reunited with her in glory. Keep praying for her loved ones, as we grieve our loss (which is her gain).

I pray, RGuy, for your sister, that her transition to the other side will be peaceful, and with no pain.
God bless you and your entire family as your wander through these difficult days.

Praying for your family as you walk through the valley of the shadow of death. Fear no evil, for God is with you.

I thought of you and your sister last night while we were practicing the Faure Requiem for a concert next week. I know we don’t need to pray for the deceased, but I enjoy singing about the peace God has now given your sister, and the light shining on her.

RG,
May the Lord be with you and bless you as you grieve and miss J among you. She is in the blessed comfort of the Lord’s embrace.

RGuy–I’m sorry…but remember this:
The righteous has hope in his death.” Proverbs 14:32.
RG’s Response: Thank you very much.

RG, I’m so sorry for your loss. I felt so sad for you when I saw your comment on my blog. Words can’t really do much; I’ll keep you and your family and her friends in my prayers.
