My mother, Joyce Haltom, was diagnosed with lung cancer in August 2005. Mama endured several devastating rounds of chemotherapy and radiation all the while trusting God to bring her through the pain and suffering. On May 12, 2006, Jesus took the pain away as He took Mama in His arms and carried her to Heaven. She was only 69 years old and left a greiving family behind. I feel God has placed Kerri and this ministry in my life to help heal the hurt of losing my mother to cancer. Praise God, I'll see her again one day!

I would like to thank Kerry for starting this sight for cancer.Not only can we remember the ones we have lost,but also to congratulate the survivors. I lost both of my parents to cancer.My father suffered for years.I watched and helped my mother with my father until the day he passed and went with our lord.I then had the privelage of being able to help take care of my mother.She was so strong,and kept every one around her laughing and having them pray with her not only for her but all her loved ones she was going to leave behind.She was a very special lady.My mother was an inspiration forevery one that truly knew her.She and I would talk for hours at night.She said its not hard to die its just hard to leave the ones you love behind.She was ready to be with our lord father in heaven.She was brave till four days before she passed and she told me it was time to start giving her full doses of morphine.She said it was time to go home.I will always miss her,but I will always look up to her for she taught me how to be strong till the end.MY mother was Dorothy Lee Hughes Landers,She passed 9-11-2007 @ AROUND 4;30 A.M.

"CANCER" It's a word that is common but one that we most fear. It's a word that we never want to hear brought up in a doctors visit, or in conversation with a family member or from a good friend. On the other hand it's one that we've all heard....It's a disease that has no age restriction, no race preference, and not concentrated in one area of the world. It is as unforgiving as the devil himself. So what can one do to stomp out this depressing disease? PRAY For a Cure for Cancer. Let us all join together as the army of the Lord and pray for a cure. Let us pray before we hear the word and join in prayers for those who are in a battle. They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength. They shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint. Isaiah 40:31

My story goes on as another sister,Dorothy Hughes Landers, lost her battle with breast cancer on 9-11-2007. She was strong to the end, confident that she would only begin to live when she sees her Savior face to face. This is the first Mother's day for her family without her. I would like to share a poem her daughter, Christine, left at her grave. "Thanks for the memories you left behind. The way you smiled, your touch so soft and I miss you very much. The things you said, words that meant so much. Your dancing eyes, the way you laughed that made me smile. And I love you very much. They're all in my memories, I treasure them more and more each day that goes by. I miss and love you so very much, Ma. We were friends, we'd talk, laugh and work and play, forgetting there would be an end. But God took you away, my empty heart still cries for you and I love you so very much." Isaiah 61:1-3

Greetings to all who read and share their story. I am the VERY BLESSED mother of Kerri Crocker. Thank you, Kerri, for taking up the mantle for all who are touched by cancer, and that is all of us at some time or another. My sister, Lovella Hughes Meyer was indeed a beautiful and gifted person. I still miss her and always will. I recall a time we were talking and she told me " it's OK". I remember replying in a tone louder than I had expected, "NO, it's not alright. I don't want you to have cancer!" She had found the peace that would sustain her to the end. And of course, that was her trust and faith in our Jesus. He has wiped all her tears away and one day will do the same for all of us who believe in the finished work of Jesus, our Savior. Jeremiah 29:11-13 "For I know the plans I have for you", this is the Lord's declaration "plans for your welfare, not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. You will call to Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. You will seek Me and find Me when you search me with all your heart." (Holman Christian Standard Bible) Peace

Well, I am the youngest daughter of the story Kerri wrote about her Aunt Lovella. "Cancer" is always a word that is feared. It is hard for the one who has it to endure, it is hard for the family to watch and even understand what you are going through. Not only have I lost my mom to cancer, I had a dear friend, Terri Byrd, who battled with cancer. Like my mom, Terri was a fighter and dedicated Christian. Terri, as a physicans assistant, began her conquest to bring forth knowledge to others battling cancer by writing a book called, "Cancer and Beyond". She began a website as a tool to connect and pray for one another. The legacy of those who are healed because they have eternal life, lives within each of us. We are there warriors and we will pray for a cure for cancer. God is our Ultimate Physican. "Pay attention to my words, for they are life to those who find them, and health to all their whole body." Proverbs 4:20-22

I was introduced to the word "cancer" when I was only 5 years old. My aunt, whom I adore, was diagnosed with breast cancer. I didn't understand everything that was happening to her, but knew she was sick and in pain most of the time. One day in first grade, I can remember my mom coming to the school, pulling me out of class and saying "Aunt Lovella isn't going to make it. I've got to go be with her" I was 6 then, but still remember how sad I felt... a single tear hit my desk that day and my little heart was broken. Some people ask me why I'm doing this mission to ask people pray for a cure. My answer goes back to that day at my desk when someone I loved died from cancer. I still see the effects of her death today. Something so terrible, something that should be cureable, changed so many lives... her children were left without a mother, her grandchildren remember her from pictures... the list goes on and on. But I put my trust and hope in Jesus Christ, just like my aunt did and know a cure can be found. I know He can take all situations and work them for our good. I was once a broken hearted little girl, now I am an adovate with a mission and I praise God for every day I get to do this! My mission is not only dedicated to my Aunt Lovella, but everyone who is battling cancer. Let's pray for a cure and make this disease become a thing of the past! Please pray for a cure for cancer! blessings and peace, Kerri

My name is Cindy Moon- Schneckenaichner and I was diagnosed with a rare form of liver cancer in January 2007. I recieved a year of intense chemo, and in January 2008 I had 2/3 of my liver removed and all visable tumor. Praise God! I am still recovering and have a long way to go, but by the grace of God, I am still here. I receive all of my treatment and care at MD Anderson in Houston, Tx, which I believe to be the best hospital in the world. During my journey my faith in God has grown stronger, and God has shown himself to me so many times. Please visit my website at www.prayforcindy.com to learn more about my journey. Walking in faith, not in fear

In February of 2004 I was given a diagnosis of Stage IIIB Cervical Cancer and around a 20% survival rate. I had 7 weekly chemo treatments and I maxed out on radiation treatments had 2 rounds of brachy therapy. Had surgery in December of 2004. It was a pretty rough year for everyone involved. Prayer changes things. My illness has been a blessing I have met so many wonderful people. Life isn't always easy sometimes we are called to suffer so God can be glorified. I give God all the praise in the outcome of my situation. Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight. Proverbs 3:5-6 Content Management Powered by CuteNews

We
are not alone. There are others in this world who are in your shoes. They are
faced with cancer. Have a child with cancer... A mom or dad, brother or sister,
husband or wife with cancer. What personal story can you share to encourage and
uplift another? What scripture brought you comfort?
