Our beloved family member Jimmy was called to his heavenly home, late yesterday afternoon.
He fought a long and courageous battle with his cancer, and was surrounded by his family and friends, when he quietly slipped away to be with the Lord.
It's a sad occasion, one is never prepared to say their goodbyes to a loved one.
When I first posted about Jimmy's illness back in 2009 http://abritintn.blogspot.com/2009/03/sad-event_25.html we were given very little hope, and yet he would never give up, always the positive one and grateful for each day he could spend with his beloved family.
As you go about your Thanksgiving plans, sharing a meal and enjoying family time, please keep us in your thoughts and prayers as we prepare to lay our loved one to rest.

I'm so sorry to hear your news. Family, however we define it, is about the most important thing there is, and losing a family member is a very difficult thing. I hope that the holiday time together with the rest of your loved ones brings you joy and some peace for your heart.
I am so sorry for your loss,you will be in my prayers.

So sorry to hear of your loss. You and your family have my condolences.. I will be praying for God to comfort each one..
Blessings and I feel your pain, this is the first Thanksgiving without Alexandra. The first year is the worst because it's full of first times without...........I hope you had a chance to tell your loved one how you feel and its good that you have the reassurance of seeing him again some day. Thank God for that blessing, I don't know how people without faith get through life. I know this year would have been unendurable for us if we did not know we would meet Alex again some day.

Words aren't enough to carry the heart, but mine goes out to you. You are in my prayers. One of the prices of living long is losing people you love. Loving them is worth the pain, but that doesn't make it hurt less.
I went back to the earlier posting about Jimmy....I'm very sorry for you all.
My five siblings and my Mother died with cancer. One sister had Pancreatic Cancer...
God be with you all...

Loss is so hard and the watching of a disease that takes the loved one is so much more difficult. The cancer takes a toll of the health of all emotionally. Prayers for many days for you and your families that share the love of this wonderful man.
