Another Warrior has gone home


After my husband and I went on the walk for the cure I posted pictures from the walk on Facebook. A friend of mine that I went to church with in Miami informed me of a dear friend of ours that lost her battle with breast cancer two weeks ago. Joanne Basie Lufberry had a heart of gold. She loved the Lord with her whole heart. She was married to John, who I went to college with. They have two sons and a daughter-in-law. I had not had contact with her since college days. I heard that she was a light to everyone who encountered her. She had a beautiful singing voice and used it often in church services. She faced the cancer journey with great courage. I'm thankful to have known her.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Last month was Childhood Cancer Awareness month and now with the 1st day of October we begin Breast Cancer Awareness month.



I am so thankful for family members and friends that the Lord has healed from this disease. I'm also thankful for the folks that are bravely continuing to fight the battle. Finally, I'm thankful for the brave men, women, and children that the Lord allowed me to get to know as they courageously battled cancer and received the ultimate healing of heaven with our Lord and Savior for eternity.



I pray daily for these precious ones that are walking this road. My desire is for their healing on this side of heaven. I'm comforted in knowing that God is Jehovah Rapha- the God who heals. He is faithful as well as sovereign. Whether He chooses to heal them on earth or take them to their eternal home, He is good all the time.
