Prayers needed for Dennis

Dennis and Sonoma in Seattle in August 2008

Dennis is married to Terry, who has been one of my best friends since we were in high school together. They have no children but are parents to two beautiful white Samoyed rescue dogs. Terry and Dennis live in Seattle and always are generously hospitable to our family, from way back before CB and I were married (in 1971). They have always provided their home for us to stay every summer, loaned us their cars, even babysat various children and babies. Dennis in particular has always been gracious about taking care of the kids, so Terry and I could go out together for shopping and dining. He always drives us to and from Sea-Tac airport each year, never complaining about the traffic or the weird times.

Like me, Dennis is an only child. Dennis and Terry have taken the place of the siblings I never had. They are uncle and aunt to my children and always remember them on special events. They visited us here in Texas and in NJ. They are AE's Godparents and they came from Seattle to Austin for DC and AA's wedding in 2006.

Now Dennis has been diagnosed with liver cancer. Please pray for him. Hold him in the Light. He is a good man whom we love very much.

Dennis has liver cancer, Hepatocellular carcinoma. He will see a specialist on liver cancer on Friday, thankfully because there was an opening due to a canceled appointment.
