Dad's Caring Bridge

We recently found out that Dad has stage 4 pancreatic cancer. It has spread to his liver, lungs, and bones.

It was just a few weeks ago that he was up, around, and riding around the neighborhood on his 4 wheeler.

Today, he is fighting for his life and only has days, if not hours, to live.

We have established a Caring Bridge account for him to keep everyone up to date.

Prayers for God's mercy on him and strength for my mom is much appreciated.

I really hate cancer.
