My father-in-law just died. Cancer is awful, and the family is trying to pull together from all over the country. He was 86. This is our third cancer death this year, if you include the dog. He died of brain cancer, and what is so bad is the long suffering and waiting. Sorry for the bummer report.

No need to apologize for bummer reports. What good are friends, if they are only there to listen to the good stuff?

Your family is in my prayers.

Yes, it is terrible. I've lost many relatives and in-laws to cancer, including my mother-in-law. My heart goes out to you and the rest of the surviving family.

I am very sorry for your loss. I have been with quite a few people in the terminal stages of cancer and it is not pleasant.
