Update 9/1/07
Julia passed away this morning at 7 a.m. Last night, a group of 150 church friends serenaded her. What a wonderful send-off. Julia lived a short life; but, she has touched a thousand lives or so with her faith and her miraculous ability to live beyond her suffering.
Please keep a family friend, Julia, in prayer along with her family and friends. Julia has battled rare thymus cancer valiantly for the last 6 years or so. She is not yet 40, faithful to our Father, and has lived her life despite her pain and problems. In and out of the hospital for years; off to different corners of the world with beloved husband, Mid, when out of the hospital. Living!
Now, she is in ICU and it's not looking good. She's in God's hands, but I covet prayers for a miraculous healing.
Update: They've sent Julia home under hospice care. She ate solid food today for the first time in a week. Thank you for your prayers for her. It's much appreciated.

May Julia continue to bring glory to her Saviour. Thank you for the report.
My sympathies on Julia's passing and prayers for those who remain.
Her passing reminded me of my first wife's passing ... an ICU nurse came in as she was passing and sang her favorite song, Amazing Grace, as I along with our two kids and our pastor witnessed her passing.
Thanks, Bob.
Praises for your first wife's life, as well.
Karen, what a beautiful thing for everyone to do. I can only imagine it meant so much to her, and I know that perfect moments like that are a great comfort and blessing to the family and close friends left behind. Bless you.
I'm sorry for your loss!
I am sorry for your loss too...how totally amazing for the church to gather and serenade her. That is Love.
