Update: As some of you know, my step-dad Jasper is
dying. He was diagnosed with bladder cancer some time ago, went through
the usual course of treatments and eventually they quit working. In
December he was given a prognosis of 6 months or less. Last week, he
was given 2 weeks or less, and as of yesterday, the hospice nurse

today, and in the days to come. We’re hanging around the house waiting
for that phone call. This is a very difficult time for alot of us.
UPDATE: Jaspers has passed away on Feb 11, 2005. Offer a prayer request or words of comfort here.
