Peter McBride
December 20: Kerri’s brother passed away yesterday around 3 pm while in Hospice Niagara.
Prayers are appreciated for the family at this time. Arrangements are being made and will follow, but will not take place till after Christmas.
December 19: Peter has been moved into Hospice as of yesterday. The cancer has spread into his lungs and is very aggressive at this point. Continue to pray for softened heart and that the Lord will draw him close at this time.
Update from Audrey Harder
December 12: A consultation with my esophageal cancer oncologist this week confirmed that the cancer has metastasized and has spread basically to the liver and back. This accounts for the constant chest and back pain. The walls of the esophagus have also thickened which causes increased difficulty swallowing. I will be going soon for another procedure to help with that, and he has ordered an MRI to clarify if the cancer is showing up elsewhere and what else might be going on in this aging body. Dr. Sur's prognosis is that I have six months to a year - but he leans toward the earlier date. Karen replied, "You don't know my mom!" More importantly, he does not know "my Father!" My first reaction was how gracious of the Lord to give us this notice so that we can take advantage of the time we have to discuss and plan for the future as a family. I have total peace and actual joy - "As for me, my life has already been poured out as an offering to God." (2 Timothy 4:6a). Thank you for your ongoing support in prayer and many other ways. Blessings and love, Audrey
