Dear Friends, I am sad to say my wife, Jane, has passed (but born into eternal life with Jesus) away the evening of June 8th at 8:15pm.

I know most of you are aware that she had a double lung transplant back in 2015. The kicker here is that her lungs were doing GREAT. The new lungs gave her new a life that she enjoyed for six years. 3 and a half years ago we moved Tampa Bay, Florida where we enjoyed the year round summer and many visits to the Gulf of Mexico (which was just 1/2 mile from our house). Tampa General Hospital took over her post lung transplant care. Each clinic visit only showed her lungs were doing great! Doctors were telling she will get many many more years from her new lungs. Here is a link to her lung transplant blog (https://99bottlesofiv.blogspot.com/)

Unfortunately, last year about this time she was diagnosed with Stage 4 colon cancer. The cancer was caused by a genetic defect inherited from her mother who also died from colon cancer. I did not share here then, we assumed she would beat it just like she beat her lung disease with the transplant. The cancer was in full remission for 5 months after a surgery and several grueling chemo treatments. The remission allowed to have a great Thanksgiving and Christmas in 2020. We were very positive we beat it.

It came back just ~4 weeks ago with a vengeance and there was no stopping it. She went to the emergency room 2 weeks ago with stomach pains were scans show it was back (Scans just a month before were clear). This time she decided not to do any more treatment. A week after that she was unable to eat or drink and decided to enter hospice at home, she came home this past Friday under hospice care. Spent a great weekend with friends and family visiting. By Monday, she was not communicating much and by Tuesday evening yesterday she peacefully passed away at home. I was able to hold her hand while she was born into eternal life.

Through her cancer diagnosis , treatment and final days here on earth, neither her new lungs or courage ever faltered.

I took this picture on my 35th birthday in Dec, 24th 2001, I was going out with Jane to a Christmas party at uncle’s house. I remember Jane went out of her way to make that day very special for me. She made into my most favorite birthday.
