I remember hearing about this obviously from far away in Sweden, but it all seemed so unreal, as if, given time, it'll fix itself. And then I remember the night of January when Ann and I went to again pray for Lena and you and somehow we had a really hard time knowing how to pray. The next day we learned that Lena had died - it was a shock, but not really. Lena was special to our family as you know ... and we will never forget her.

At that time I think (?????) I got a glimpse of the devastation cancer can bring. I pray that I never have to go through that. If I do, I hope I am able to lean on God and not rebuke Him. You and I can talk about that further later. Kirby Leon,

When I got word, I had no idea Lena would be gone that fast. At that time I think (?????) I got a glimpse of the devastation cancer can bring. I pray that I never have to go through that. If I do, I hope I am able to lean on God and not rebuke Him.

You and I can talk about that further later.

Thanks for the compliment on the writing. To be sure my 4th grade teacher would be surprised. Yes Life can be very difficult. I have come to accept suffering as a part of life. I still don't like it though. Miriam. Yes Dan was at the funeral. A lot of that is a blur, but I do remember him being there. Thanks to both of you for stopping by. Leon Marcia.

The Lord be with you in the many changes this has brought to you and our family! I well remember the weekend I got word of this, and we had a terrible snowstorm in IN. But do think maybe Dan wa sable to come for the funeral. Leon, I can only imagine the painful anniversaries and how they had a way of making a better person out of you… your whole world changed.
