I want to thank all of you so much for the prayers, support and love. It has made a difference. My final battle awaits and I will win because the cancer dies with me and I am the one who will kill it.

ED, so sad to hear this news. But I can truly say that you have handled this with grace and dignity, much in the way that Jesus did. Keep the faith and press on towards that mark, the prize at the end of your race, Victory in Jesus.
You have shown the members on CP how to face illness and death head on. Spiritual warfare has nothing on you, your strength and faith is an inspiration to all of us here. Although we have never met (that I am aware of), my wife asks about you from time to time. She too is facing her difficult time one day here soon and has spoken highly about you from the stories I have passed on to her. She doesn't have the strength, grace and dignity as you do. I hope that one day she find it too.
My prayers to you is that you continue having the faith and strength in the final days that is the hardest to handle. The mark, that prize is Jesus, grab a hold and rebuke that devil each day leading up to your crossing into paradise. Just make sure you tell the devil he is a loser as Jesus grabs your hands and you leave this world. Our thoughts and prayers will go out to your family during this difficult time. Just let them know that everything will be alright, you have the Greatest captain in charge of your flight.
Ed, If there is anything I or anyone here on CP can do to help or assist the family in these last days, please feel free to speak, after all we are not just friends here, we are a big ole family as well as brother and sisters in Christ.
Personally, you will be missed my friend, more than you can possibly imagine. Godspeed Ed.
