Congrats on the FEA! Hoping for good news on the job.

The family of one of my chapter Brothers contacted us on Thanksgiving because they have not had any contact with him for 3 months. To make things worst, he is Army Guard, though I don't know if his unit is deployed or not.

Thinking of him and his family during this time.

Requesting positive thoughts please for a good neighbor and friend to my father. She underwent surgery today following a possible stroke. In her current state she has very limited communication skills, and this woman LIVES to share contact with others. Thank you and all the best...

A friend of mine from home told me today that her daughter has been diagnosed with Hodgkin's Disease. Kristin is a beautiful young woman of 18, just started college, and has been going through tests for the past months.

Could I ask that people keep Kristin in their thoughts & prayers? She has a lovely attitude about this, but of course, is scared. Just remember how you would have taken this news at 18!

So I'm 27...and I'm having a colonoscopy tomorrow. I'm really just trying to be proactive...I saw what could be considered a symptom of colon cancer back in October, but ever since I made the initial appt with the doctor, I haven't seen it since. After what has gone on with my mom this year with her colon cancer...I'm really just trying to make sure it isn't that! I'm feeling pretty good that there won't be anything to worry about tomorrow...but hey, positive thoughts and prayers couldn't hurt!

So smart by not taking any risks considering your family history! Thinking good thoughts, I'm sure it will be fine!

Hope it went well! I've been begging my DH to get one - literally everyone in his immediate family has had colon cancer or pre-cancerous polyps. I told him that I will be furious with his making me move to Chicago, just so he can die of something about which he should have been more proactive. It scares me!

Court's coming up next week re: custody again. Praying that the judge will see through her BS and let those boys stay somewhere safe.
Prayers/Positive energy appreciated.

I have good news! A co-worker that can be difficult is being helpful and an ex has come to realize that we are not ever be together.

Ashley

The news is not good.

There is nothing more to be done to prolong her life; they are now seeking only to ease her pain.

I am heart broken. She has been through so much. It is so unfair. She is 32.

I can't stand the thought of another funeral of a former student.

How horrible. Praying for her, her family, and her friends.

Last weekend, a fellow Mizzou student passed away in a car accident.

http://www.ksdk.com/news/article/351...-I-70-accident

I don't know her personally, nor do I know if she was in a sorority or not, but keep her family and friends in your prayers. What a terrible accident. Also, keep the other man involved in the accident in your thoughts as well. How awful would it be to be driving along and all the sudden have another vehicle coming right at you at high speeds? Terrible for everyone involved.

I'm so sorry SWTXBelle. Praying for her and her family. A 23 year old Eastern Michigan student was found murdered in her off campus apartment. I'll be keeping her family and friends in my prayers. And also praying that they catch the monster who did it, soon.
