To all my friends and relatives,
I have been diagnosed with colon cancer.
I will probably have surgery first then radiation and chemo. I have the possibility of not surviving the surgery with my COPD. I will have good Dr.'s though.

Charlie


Colon Cancer is Cancer is a malignant tumor that grows from the inner wall of the large intestine.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is one of the most common lung diseases. It makes it difficult to breathe.

There are two main forms of COPD:
Chronic bronchitis, defined by a long-term cough with mucus
Emphysema, defined by destruction of the lungs over time.

We specifically pray for all those that are reading this page
and in their heart share a prayer for strength for Charles.


These pictures were taken at the 2010 Paradise Reunion.

"Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble of heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden light."
Matthew 11: 28-30

Charles, this is for you . . .
"I know by faith that my life is a gift. God created me so that he could love me. He is with me at every moment. Each day is filled with opportunities to grow closer to him.

But life is hard. My faith is weak. I do not always see the signs of God's love in my life. Sometimes I feel lost and alone. Sometimes I withdraw into myself, and close myself to God's love, and fall into sin. Then life seems not a gift, but a burden hard to bear.

Yet God does not forsake me. When the light of faith dawns once more, and I turn back to him, I see that his love never fails. I see that no day is too long or lonely, no burden too heavy, no trial too great, because God is with me."

There is one Presence,
one Power in the universe:
a Creator of
Unconditional Love & Healing.
Amen
