Boni Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 Hi Bill, it's great to meet you, even if it is on a chat forum. Thanks for the picture. I appreciate your smiling countenance. God bless you for sharing your wife and life with us. You have seen and read for yourself, at least Patty Jo has read them to you, and you realize there are many people who are praying for you. No wonder you have a smile on your face. You inspire us all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chocoholic Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 Patty Jo, You and Bill are in my prayers. You can take comfort in the fact that Bill will be pain free and living at Jesus feet. Of course, you have a harder job to continue to exist here on this earth. I will be praying that you both feel the Lord's presence at all times and that he give you both the strength you need. He does know what is best and you have placed your trust correctly. Take care and God bless you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roberta Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 Bill and Patty Jo - I want you to know you are definetly in my thoughts and prayers. I wish there were words or something I could do to make this all easier for you. I am sending prayers, good thoughts, wishes and vibes all your way. I had cancer when I was only 27 years old, without insurance, so I can personally relate to you on that level. Have faith, the money thing will work itself out. I just wrote a whole novel to share my story with you for support, inspiration, and love but decided this was not really the place for that. But if you want to talk about it please let me know, I would love to share with you my experience so you know you are not alone and that not everything is all bad. My experience changed my life and made me appreciate the good and beauty there is right now. I am offering my shoulder for you both to lean on if you need me. I will check often for U2U's in case either of you want an ear and a hand. I also have recent experience with hospice, which I think is a very good thing. Please take advantage of these angels, they are a true blessing. But don't pay too close attention to legal definition of hospice. They have to have some legal definition for insurance reasons but that doesn't mean it is a fact... May you both have peace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiltermidwife Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 Patty Jo & Bill I am a great believer in each day being a new day for each and every one of us.

Hollyrw Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 Patty Jo & Bill, like some of the others here, I don't post a lot but I'm here everyday reading. You and your family have been in my prayers and those prayers will continue for as long as they are needed. Hugs, Holly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandraC Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 Patty Jo, My heart is breaking for you and your family. It's been a year since going through my husband's illness with him although it only feels like last month. One little piece of advice for now...when people come around to help with meals, etc...accept it in the spirit it's given. People that love you and Bill will want to help but not know how, so these little gifts help them in a small way and help you in a big way so you can save your energy for your family and Bill. I am sending you a big hug and wish I could do more. I remember telling my friends last year to just cherish each other and don't worry about stuff like balled up socks in the laundry...just cherish, and love and touch!

Lauras Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 Hi Patti Jo. Harry and I prayed for you this morning. That God would take care of your finances, and that the time you have left together would be joyful. Thanks for posting Bill's picture. He looks like such a nice man. I loved meeting you at the Spaghetti Factory (Innovations). Would love to see all of you again. There was not nearly enough time. And the noise....................

quiltingjoyful51 Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 Hi Patty Jo, I have been reading about your family for some time now. You and Bill have been in my prayers. We may never meet here but it is great to know we will meet in Jesus. Thank you for your dedication to The Lord. You have been a blessing to me.

janeta Posted October 17, 2008 Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 Patty Jo, So sorry I have not posted recently to offer prayers, hugs and support. I have been away from home and haven't had access to a computer. I know you are cherishing every moment that you and Bill get to spend together. God will watch over you both and shelter you in his arms. Take every day and enjoy it, don't stress over the things you can't control. The money thing wil work out. I know that is a big stress factor, as my dad was in intensive care for two months last year, and boy, do those bills seem to climb exponentially. The only thing that really matters is that Bill is well taken care of and that you get to spend every moment possible with him. I know that it is a comfort to know that God is with you and Bill as you go through this journey together. I will keep you both in my prayers.
