I hope that Buddy was able to get there. Sounds like Billy was waiting for Jason and delighted in the thought of being able to see Buddy. I pray that the Holy Spirit comforts and embraces you and gives you the peace and grace you asked for... and Billy, thank you for your service and example! You're "Flying High..." now and no longer need to fight. May God embrace you all and give you His rest and strength for the days ahead. May you be lifted up and supported by many. Give Buddy a hug...it'll help. My heart aches so I can't even imagine... please take care and know you are in my heart and prayers.Peggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07178137619890142365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4052687290766520628.post-49155867168452148962010-12-27T09:36:44.338-05:002010-12-27T09:36:44.338-05:00Continued prayers for Billy.

One of my favorite verses from one of my favorite worship songs is:<br /><br />"Lover of My Soul, This is what I've learned:<br />To try is to fail, To trust is to heal, <br />and in YOU I have overcome these fears, <br />these trials, these dark long miles! <br />Your strength is made perfect in my weakness."<br /><br />This song helped me through a really hard couple of months. My prayer for you, Billy, Daniel (I'm a friend from LIFE), and the rest of your family is that in this season you allow Him to be made strong in and through you. <br /><br />BTW Buddy is BEAUTIFUL!!!<br /><br />Love, <br />MelissaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4052687290766520628.post-606189099206041932010-12-22T23:58:36.976-05:002010-12-22T23:58:36.976-05:00I love all of you so much that there are no words....I love all of you so much that there are no words. Even while I'm here with my own family and so thankful for that, I'm missing you guys so incredibly much and wishing that I could be there with all of you too. Billy has always been one of my best friends and has always meant so much to me, and you guys have all become a second family - all the brothers and sisters I never had! Please know that my heart is with all of you all the time and I'm there in spirit.

I check frequently and was so saddened to read the Billy's not doing well. Your family is amazing and Billy has people across the globe praying for him. I pray that the love your family has for each other and the love your family has experienced these past few months will carry you through this difficult time and this holiday season. Sending big hugs to you all - especially Billy - and lots of prayers.Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15502213181172499151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4052687290766520628.post-82729993250885996742010-12-22T09:53:43.772-05:002010-12-22T09:53:43.772-05:00We are praying for all of you that you may enjoy C...We are praying for all of you that you may enjoy Christmas together, and for one of God's miracles.

I stumbled across your blog after researching stomach cancer after my sister was diagnosed in October. From reading your posts it sounds all to familiar. <br /><br />After an attempt to be at home the pain became to much to handle so she is back in the hospital trying to get s handle on te pain management. <br /><br />While it's very sad ( she is 39 and has 3 kids) we ar amazed at the small miracles we have experienced thru this. <br /><br />While we pray for her healing we are thankful for every day we have with her. <br /><br />We will also pray for Billy and your family as well. Be encouraged and know you are not alone. <br /><br />God bless and Merry Christmas.David DeVorehttp://hopeforkristi.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4052687290766520628.post-8817680635768027952010-12-22T00:24:32.604-05:002010-12-22T00:24:32.604-05:00We are praying for all of you and amazed at the st...We are praying for all of you and amazed at the strength and grace you share in the midst of it all - especially Billy. <br />Psalm 23:4<br />Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.Jesse and Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03070935579987535326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4052687290766520628.post-43723335003177983672010-12-21T21:41:09.753-05:002010-12-21T21:41:09.753-05:00(((Billy and family))) I am so sorry things are g...(((Billy and family))) I am so sorry things are getting worse for him.
