Jim and Louise Shockey

[PRDATR]

I follow Jim on Social Media and he posted this a couple of hours ago. PLease keep Louise in your prayers.

 

"It is with deep sadness that I write this.

Six weeks ago, Louise went to her doctor to have a dry cough checked out.

Two days later…the nightmare.

The doctor phoned and said she was coming to our home and that Louise should make sure I was there.

It is impossible to put words to our feelings…”overwhelming” isn’t even close.

We held hands and cried…for days.

When we found the strength, we called our children, Branlin and Eva.

My beautiful soulmate Louise and I have come to terms with our reality now, as much as we can, and feel it is time to share with all of you who have shared our family’s journey for the last 37 years.

Lung cancer. Aggressive. Late stage.

The doctors and nurses have been wonderful, but the news has not gotten better as the various tests have come back. Inoperable. Incurable. Already spread.

Louise is now in Chemotherapy and Immunotherapy starts this week. Radiation soon.

We are hoping for the best, a little more precious time to be together, to be with family, to be with friends.

Hoping for the best…and praying for a miracle.

All of you who know Louise, Nana Weezy, know that she is pure of soul, positive, kind and even with all this happening in her life, she is thinking of others. She is an inspiration to everyone who comes into her sphere of influence.

She wants all of you to know that she understands there is worse news, a child suffering, younger people, with a life ahead of them. She wants you all to know she is good with this. She is at peace.

This is part of our family journey. Ours has been a fairytale…and we have been blessed."

That is sad news to hear from anyone.

That is sad news. I am a big Shockey fan. I haven't seen his show since cutting the cable cord quite a few years ago. I liked his style and watching his family being part of the show. Prayers for the family.
