Prayers Needed
May 27th, 2008 by Marcus
Please keep my family in your prayers as we go through a tough time. My Memaw (step-grandmother) passed away yesterday after a long fight with cancer. I won't be leaving San Diego, though I had the option. I would love to be with my family during this trying time, but my training needs to be completed. Memaw was a wonderful woman who treated me and my brother like we were blood family. I can't express in words how awesome that was. I will truly miss her.

My condolences, Marcus. I just went through the same process with my father two weeks ago. Best wishes to you and your family during this trying time.
My condolences, Marcus
After serving in Vietnam as an infantry platoon leader, I was met with an even greater challenge.
In 1991 I received a heart transplant. My book, Mr. NewHeart, is the story of that incredible story. See it at my website.
Although, hard to believe, it was more difficult than serving in combat in Vietnam.
Oh, Marcus – I'm so sorry. Sincere sympathy to both you and CF. I've been in both places…
You know she's been in my thoughts and I'm glad she went peacefully. Lots of love and sympathy to you and your family, sugar.
Losing a beloved grandmother is difficult. While you may not be able to be with your family, know that your cyber-family is with you in spirit and prayer.
Keeping you and your family in our thoughts and prayers Marcus. I know it's not easy when you lose someone you love. Just know that we're here for you.
Marcus, I'm praying for you and your family. Be sure to keep your beloved Memaw's memory alive. That'll get you through a lot as you go along in life. I know my Grandma is still 'with' me.
You got it Marine! We are praying for you and your family during these painful times. I know that it hurts even if you know that they have gone on to a better place. And yes, real Marines do cry. Hang in their Marcus. As Becky said, talk about it, it will help.

Marcus,
I'm so sorry to hear of your Memaw's passing. My heartfelt condolences to you and to your family and my prayers are with you all as you grieve.
Marcus, My deepest sympathy in your loss. Prayers for you and your family.
It's never easy to have someone whom you loved so much go on from here. You and your family are in my thoughts, prayers and heart.
