Oh wow.... I just caught this. Praying right NOW.

Lord Jesus, Our friend Roger is facing a really, really tough day. The Dr's say that his mother, the lady that brought him into this world and nurtured him into the man he is, is likely passing on to her reward sometime today. This world and the disease and death that has been present really hurts sometimes,big time. Yet, we know that 1) The Dr's don't know everything, and that you can heal Rogers mom if you so choose. So if it be your will, we ask for this great miracle today. 2)If this is her appointed time, then we ask that you make your presence real and tangible and powerful today. Both in her life and in Rogers. That you would provide to both of them the calm assurance and peace that you said in your word "Surpasses human understanding" Peace! from your presence and the amazing ministry of the Holy Spirit when the circumstances would otherwise say 'anguish' and or 'confusion'. Regardless of the outcome, use today's circumstances and events to draw each and every person involved closer to you. Draw them to yourself Lord God. And as they look to you and seek you, may you be found in abundance and provide a reminder of the great hope we have in you. For you have said in your word that there is soon coming a time when you will personally wipe EVERY TEAR from our eyes. We look forward to that day, but right now we ask for your hand, your mercy and love over Rogers mom and his family as they face this valley. Do not let them face it alone, be their strength and thier hope and ever present comfort and friend. In Jesus name, AMEN

Praying for comfort for all involved.....

Prayers sent Roger.

Nothing seems suitable to say when this occurs, so most of the time I don't say anything.

But I know what it is to lose a parent like this.

It will take time for things to feel normal again,..but they will.

I was 50 when my mom passed from bone cancer, it was heartbreaking for us and relief for her...

peace... amen

Kent

thanks everyone, she is still hanging on. their giving her antibiotics and Demerol, but her white cell count is zero . she has always been a fighter. went back to school at the age 50 (she dropped out in 8th grade to work, they were migrant farm workers growing up)she graduated top of her nursing class and was inducted into the del mar college hall of fame. she taught nursing there, as well as working as an RN till she got sick in 07, she has lead a life anyone can be proud of and raised 4 fine boys.

Sounds like a great woman Roger. And just from what you post here, she did a helluva job raising you all. I know you did, but let her know how lucky you are to have a mom like her. Will keep you all in my prayers tonight.

Indeed..

STX mentions her from time to time on here, sounds like one heck of a woman/mom.

Hope she passes easily into the next and prayers of comfort for those left behind.

Done, may God Bless and keep her.

Lost my Father last December to cancer.

STX, just got on the fire and saw this. Prayers from Mississippi headed your way..

Sorry to hear this, Prayers sent!

I sat by moms bedside for three days in 2008 while she was in a coma, and quietly passed, so been there and done it, never easy.

Roger,

Psalms 23 came to my mind when I was reading the update on your mom. This passage of scripture helped me during my fight with cancer and when my mom had cancer. Take a look at it and if you think it would bring comfort to your mom or family, please share it. I'm praying for you, your mom, and family.

Prayers from here.

Done.

My sincere condolences Roger. Even when we know what is coming we are never really ready.
I pray that the Father will cover you all with his mercy, peace and comfort.

Thoughts continue Roger. I laid next to my dear Mother as she drifted and went five years ago from cancer. My Father just could not do it. My wife did the same with her Mother four months later. Just days before this past Thanksgiving my wife did the same with her Father, cancer again. It will eventually pass and taking care of Pop's will be high on the list. At least it was for us.

Prayers for your Mom and family

Todd

Roger,

My first military assignment was to San Antonio and we fell in love with Texas. Part of those wonderful memories were from how the Hispanic community adopted us. I see your mom as one of those type of people.

You have my prayers and thoughts. May God bless her soul and provide your family strength.

Su Amigo,

Song for her, Rog.

....tough trail you're riding, bro.

Great photos, Roger. What a SMILE your mother has! Lights up a whole room! We are still praying here in Walla Walla.

Oh my, The prayers will continue amigo. There is a pain from a hole in your heart and life that only God can truly heal. But some of it will always linger so that we have something - and someone - to look forward to.

May God Bless and keep you all.

BMT

Mark

my younger brother is much better at words than i am.



After a brave battle fighting cancer for that last 7 or more years, my mother passed away in peace last night. She is no longer in pain and is with God now. My mother was and is the heart of my family. Everything that is good in myself and my family is because of her. Everything that I will ever do with the rest of my life that is good will be because of my mother and her character that she passed on to me. All my strength and will power that I have had in my life comes from my mother and the strength she passed on to me. Love is not just words. "Love is demonstrated." And as far as my life is concerned nobody ever demonstrated how much she loved me and my family more than my mother. She was selfless, sacrificed everything for us, always forgave, and never held a grudge against any person ever. She would help anybody if she was able to. Everyone who ever met my mother always talked about how sweet my mother was. My mother was a retired Registered Nurse who loved helping and taking care of people. Our legacy that we leave behind is not about money, how much material possessions that we accumulate which are only temporary. Rather the legacy that we leave behind is "How we treated people and how we loved one another." I will never measure up to my mother but I will live my life as best as I can to be inspired by her example. I love you Mom. You live in my heart and I will see you in Heaven some day. I know that you can see me now always.
2nd Corinthians 5: 1-8 "For we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. For in this tent we groan, longing to be clothed with our heavenly dwelling if indeed, when we have taken it off we will not be found naked. For while we are still in this tent, we groan under our burden, because we wish not to be unclothed but to be further clothed, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life. He who has prepared us for this very thing is God, who has given us the Spirit as a guarantee. So we are always confident; even though we know that while we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord. For we walk by faith, not by sight. Yes, we do have confidence, and we would rather be away from the body and at home with the Lord.

Sounds like you have lost much, but were left rich.

My prayer was answered, now prayers for you and yours..

Again condolences. Still praying for your serenity.

Praying for you and your family.

Just saw this Roger, I lost my mom in 2008, still remember it like it was yesterday. It will be something that will stick with you but it get better, hang tough.

Prayers for you and the family.

How can we be sad about a loved one going home to the Lord? We should celebrate with tears running down our cheeks. I'm sorry you're having to go through this, Roger, but happy that your mother's ordeal is over.

Ah man Roger....

Words fail me.

I'm glad she's at peace now...

I'm sorry I hadn't checked back on this and I failed to realize that your Mother crossed over, Roger. I was always encouraged by the bible verse that reminded me, not a sparrow falls from the sky, that God does not know about.

Your Mother sounded like an amazing woman and Mother. May God bless and keep her and give your family the peace that only He can give.

Joel

Beautiful obit. Stx...

nice tribute..

A special lady.

Sounds like an amazing woman Roger. Condolences and continued prayers.


Todd

That's just a very fine obituary.

Your mom sounds like a truly remarkable woman.

It's impressive that she was still looking to make new accomplishments at age 50.

Most of us are starting to wind down at that age.

Your mom was just shifting into overdrive.

I'm honored, and a better man for having met and spent some time with your mama, Roger. Pure class and dignity, she was, and full of love for her family.

Rest in peace, Mrs. Hunter.

So sorry to hear of your Mother's passing. Mother's are special and it sounds like yours was particularly special. You can find blessing and joy in that always. Offering prayers of peace and comfort for all, knowing your Mom now has both in perfect abundance.

May the Lady rest in peace.............

That's the kind of obituary all of us should strive for in this life.

You were lucky, Roger. And she was lucky to have you for a son.

Prayers and condolences to you and your family.
It is a very generous gift you share here...

Condolences for your family Roger. Your Mom sounds like one heck of a woman, and was a great mother. She will be at peace now, in the arms of our Lord.

My condolences to you and your family.

Thanks STX - a beautiful obituary. Knowing you are a strong guy, am praying for your peace and a healed heart.
