An update and a celebration....

A couple weeks ago marked a huge celebration.

Lori FINISHED chemo!!

She had such a long road. Her journey with cancer started late April/ May. She has endured surgery and chemo.

She has hardly complained, and has kept such a great spirit and attitude about the whole thing.

She had a few rough days but with Jason by her side ( who was ever so faithful to her ) she was able to make it through them.



On her last day of chemo, her students threw her a little party. It was very cute.



They made her a sign, brought some donuts and juice, collected money for flowers and a nice edible arrangement.

Throughout this whole time, her kids have showered her with love, support and kindness. It is just a testament to how much she is loved.



I have been able to go with her to some of her chemo treatments. It has done me well to be able to sit with her. We have laughed and cried together during these times. But most of all, our friendship has deepened.

I am so grateful to have her as a friend.



Lori's aunt and cousin totally surprised her by flying in for her last day. What a fun surprise!



Jason and Lori have such an awesome relationship. I have seen it grow stronger during this time. They are so lucky to have each other.



Please continue to pray for Lori. After the Holiday's she will begin 6 weeks of daily radiation. Please pray that the Lord will give her strength. And will allow her to get the rest that she needs.
