Cancer

My dad's sister, my aunt Lois, passed away this morning after a long and difficult battle with cancer of many types. Some of you may know my cousin Lawren, who graduated from Dordt this year too, and who is now experiencing the pain of losing his mother.

While Lois's death was expected for some time now, I was still shocked to hear the news when I called home from work today. Why? is the inevitable question, and sometimes there's just no good answer.

Please keep the whole family in your prayers as they prepare for the memorial service, tentatively scheduled for next Wednesday in the Chicago area. And especially as we all adjust to living without a dear wife, mother, sister, aunt, friend.
