Welcome back!

This past week has been hard. Some parts of it have been good. Our long time friend had been sick in the Hospital. He was dying in the VA Hospice unit near where we live. He had lung cancer that had spread through out his entire body.

His name was James Raymond Moore and he passed away yesterday at 4 am. He had been in a lot of pain. The nurses were really gentle with him and tried to help him to escape the pain. He was having trouble breathing and each breath was a fight for him. I am very sad to loose him but, he is now no longer hurting. He loved the Lord Jesus very much, so I know that he is now in a better place. He has family but we have no idea how to locate them. He had a lot of nick-names: Jesse, Two Moons, Sonny. A half brother called Ronald and a niece called Gail. We are feeling two things right now. Sorrow for his loss, and relief for him that he no longer hurts and is in pain.

I still cry because I miss him, though. However, I wouldn’t want him to continue to suffer.
