With the Angels

This will be a short, I just have to let those of you who have been praying for Marcus and following his story know that his Aunt Nancy emailed today to say he passed away Sunday morning, shortly after I posted. His family is grieving but are thankful his suffering is over, this past week he was in a tremendous amount of pain.
This is a picture Nancy sent me of Marcus and her daughter Jessica (his cousin) last year at Thanksgiving (and the last time they would see each other). He'd been fighting cancer for about a year at that time. As you can see, he looks very different here from his previous pics.

Marcus's family is so grateful to everyone who has reached out in prayer and offered their support in different ways, they say they can FEEL the love and it IS helping. If you were someone who linked the Marcus post, I would love to know, as they and I have been trying to visit your blogs and offer thanks, please just leave a comment here, I'm sure I've missed a few. (It has been just amazing to see it spreading by degrees, from blog to blog, friend to friend, even across oceans...) Links for Karen his mother, and Nancy are in the posts below if you have time to visit, forgive me for not adding all the links right now.

I would like to say more but it's all I can manage for now. I am thankful I already have several posts saved and scheduled so there will be projects every day to share here, please keep checking back and thanks as always for stopping by.
