OT Prayer request
Please say a prayer for my friend and neighbor Frank Variny. Frank is a Corvette guy through and through. When he moved into our neighborhood he and his wife Alecs had four Corvettes. I found a website that has some pics of the '60 he restored here:

Frank has been battling gastric cancer since he was diagnosed last March. He has been keeping a journal of his battle with this terrible disease at Caringbridge.

All prayers will be appreciated.
Thank you
Gerry

Very sad. Our prayers are with him and his family. I have had a family member go through this and it is almost as hard on the loved ones as it is on the one in pain.

My wife and I send our prayers to Frank and his family.
It saddens me to read last few updates, written by Frank, in his online journal. He expresses exactly what my father was feeling at the end of his struggle with cancer. It's been over a year and a half since my dad passed, man it feels like yesterday.

Prayers from our family to Frank and his family. The heartache of seeing a loved one suffer is often more devastating than the disease.
