My Brother's Jounery Has Ended

[jessie0054]

Hello:

Thought i would let everyone know that my Brother died today after a long battle with cancer. He has been undergoing Chemo since August for Stage 4 Liver Cancer. [ he had Colon Cancer 27 years ago and then lung cancer 2 years ago and his last cancer was diagnosed in August 2007] He had been doing better we thought until he fell last Thursday hitting his head. At the hospital CT scan reveled that the cancer has invaded his brain and though out his entire body. His Chemo was discontinued and he went in a coma Saturday. He faught a real battle and was so brave until the end. He gained many friends at the local VA here in Columbia Mo through out his illness and each person he had come in contact with the last few months with the VA [ Dr's and Nurses both] came to visit when they learned he was in the hospital and checked in with us everyday to see how he was doing. I can say that his last few days and hours were filled with compassions from all his nurses and Dr's and was treated very respectfully through it all, They have become great friends with the family who needed them at this time. I was impressed!!!

Dear Jessie:

I am sorry that you lost your brother but thankful that so many have rallied to do him and your family honor. There is not really much that I can say but you fought like a Tiger to help him and he at least was treated with dignity and respect. No Veteran who goes to the VA could ask for more.

As the days pass I will continue to pray for him and your family for grace to deal with all that comes from a loss like this.

God Bless You and Keep You

Pete
