I took and edited a short letter
that our friend Eileen sent us... I wanted to keep this as short as possible.. only adding last week Eileen ``` found another lump``.. around some older scar tissue.... ![]() She has to wait ``45 days` for Medi-Cal to kick in... so she ```can afford`` to go to the doctors... A letter from Eileen Morales sent to me in October .. I edited it only `` to arrange the dates and events..`` My dearest husband Larry Morales was born in Fresno Ca on. ..December 8 - 1961 Larry passed away in our home to be with The Lord on ........September 28 -2009 . We had been married for 13 years Larry Morales leaves behind 6 children , 4 grandchildren , and myself his beloved wife, Eileen Morales. My husband had suffered complications do to his diabetes. And in 2006 , Larry underwent aortic valve replacement heart surgery , due to an infection elsewhere in his body , that had found its way to his heart. He was very ill at that time and was given only a 10% chance of surviving his surgery to replace the failing heart valve. But by The Grace of God he made it through . ! Over the next 3 years Larry , continued becoming sicker and sicker... July- 2008 After a routine physical exam , I then was diagnosed with breast cancer . Being that my breast cancer was so advanced I was then told I needed immediate surgery , and quickly underwent a double mastectomy. Larry was struggling with being very ill trying to work and care for our children , as I underwent surgery and the following chemotherapy and radiation treatments. Which often left me so sick , I ended up in the hospital with intravenous fluids being given to save my life. Needless to say I was unable to look after our children. and yet as always , Larry was there taking care of us even thou he himself was very , very sick. We keep on fighting the Good Fight of Faith ! I was told my battle with cancer had been won and although I had lost both my breasts , I still cheerfully looked forward to my hair growing back ,and to our family once more resuming our blessed day to day life as it had been. April -2009 Larry continued becoming sicker , and was in and out of the hospital being tested when there came yet another blow delivered to us . Larry was told he had liver disease and that only a transplant could save his life. Larry tried to get on the list for a liver transplant , continuing to struggle with his health and keep working in construction. Larry often fell very ill , with complications from his diabetes that would leave his toes completely black , and painfully swollen . August - 2009 As Larry waited to hear about his chances on receiving a liver transplant . We were to receive yet another blow as we were told Larry was now in the " last stage " of liver disease and unable to have the liver transplant due to all the risk factors. September -2009 The Good News ! that I had received , about being cancer free however , was not to be , and once again I was told I needed surgery and thus I underwent a hysterectomy. Shortly after the operation , I returned to my former work place ,having been promised my job opening would be there waiting for me. But , upon returning I was told there had been major lay-offs / job cuts , do to the weakened economy. and that my former job position had been closed . And I was also informed that there weren't any other openings available for me in the job place. September -2009 Larry was undergoing chemotherapy for his inoperable liver cancer that was rapidly spreading ,when we were told on September 24 -2009 the chemotherapy wasn't working and that Larry's kidneys were shutting down They said there wasn't anything more they could do for Larry. and Larry had been given only days or at best weeks to live. Unfortunately , we were to have him for only 4 more days Somehow Larry had managed to hang on and be there for us when we needed him the most. We dearly miss our beloved Larry And the void he leaves behind in our lives is overwhelming . Eileen Morales `` Last edited by Aguila : 11-05-2009 at 09:57 AM. |

I had also
` written a letter of sorts```? And went to other Churches..( some friends of ours took the letter to their Church as well ) Eileens Church managed to raise $ 150.00 from a picnic in the park but after the funeral all the promises to`` help feed the children`went undone. Not one other Church responded to the letter... Well.... Larry never missed a service in thier ``Church`` and continued to smile and laugh ``although as an usher in the church...he often was in pain with each step he took... to help others find a seat.... Eileen to this day.. IMO`` is sure a testament to ```Faith... We , as members of The Body of Christ We , as members of The Living Body We, as members of The Church ```not made by hand or of stone`` We , Come standing on The Word of God , making intercession for Eileen Morales and the children who are having a very difficult time. We ask that others would help in this petition of faith , and ask upon the scripture " You have not because you ask not , or you ask to conceive upon the lusts of your own flesh " We come and stand in agreement and are asking boldly at God's Throne of Grace , that you may hear our voice and The Lords Spirit may move you and other members of The Body of Christ , with compassion , to help Eileen and the children Eileen Morales , is struggling and going deeper in debt , trying to support her children , besides having the financial burden of debt from the funeral and burial costs of her husband Larry Morales. Larry had always been there for Eileen and their children. He helped Eileen face her wall of cancer and joined her in faith And together they fought the Good Fight of Faith ! Now there remains a deep hole of despair and debt We are asking others to judge within themselves and then Act ! upon what they hear and are led by His Spirit to do ! And ``That God Will Be The Final Judge`` in this matter`` With Hope With Faith , and With God's Love We only ask for you to consider our petition to help The Morales Family , and that God's Loving Grace may find a way to move other members of His Church To Help !! Eileen Morales ```Move One More Mountain`` ! We ask this In The Name of Jesus Christ Our Lord.. Amen. ! I ask all who beleive in ``````The Power of Prayer ! to Please !! Feel Free to ```````````Join Us in Prayer !!!``... ```````````` Amazing Grace`````` |
