About 1.5 years ago my good friend James, whom I've known since I was 16 years old, was diagnosed with Leukemia. In October he received a bone marrow transplant, and he's been in the hospital ever since. He has spent the majority of that time in the ICU. They have 3 beautiful kids ranging in age from 11 - 15. Last night my friend lost his battle with Leukemia, and went home to his heavenly father. He was married to my wife's sister.

It is with a heavy heart that I ask for prayers for Melanie (his wife) and their three children as they start the grieving process. He was a good friend, and he will be sorely missed. It was so hard for me losing my mom 1.5 years ago, and I'm 40 years old. I can't imagine losing a parent at such a young age.

James, I bid you a very fond farewell. Rest in peace, my friend.

Good friends are few & are God given. I will pray for your comfort & that God will send you another. He did it before & He can do it again.

I will recommend to financially support your sister is law if you can afford it.

I definitely will where I can. I can't even wrap my brain around their financial situation after close to 3 months in ICU. They had insurance but there are always tons of unexpected charges for consultations with out of plan doctors and the like.

Prayers up.

Praying for the whole family. Sorry to read of your loss.

I will add you and his family to my daily prayers for comfort in this time of sorrow

I'm so sorry for your loss. You and your family will be in my prayers.

As everyone has said, so sorry for your loss. Will send prayers.

Prayers for your friend and the grieving family he leaves behind.

CANCER SUCKS!

Prayers from here also for your sister-in-law.
