Our wonderful nephew:

Our Jeffrey:
We just got the call from St.Louis that our special nephew Jeffrey probably will not live through the night. He is a wonderful husband, father, son and nephew that has fought the good fight with diabetes - it just got the best of him over the last several years. He is at peace - our prayers are with Jeff tonight and his beautiful family. One can only wonder why God is calling him home at such a young age (44) - but we are so very thankful that he knows that Jesus is his Savior. Rest in peace our beautiful red head. We will so miss you!

It is Mike's oldest brothers son. My own children are very close to him and terrible torn up about this. He did pass this morning at 10:00 - very peacefully.

Sometimes the fighting just gets to hard to do anymore.

Erin's husband's step father in on his third kidney, I think. He is younger than Larry and I. He says when this one goes...he will not fight anymore, but accept what is to come.

I am sorry about your nephew.

this is only his second kidney. he won't get to try a third -- two is the limit. each donation is projected to last about 10-15 years.
