Prayers for Jerry Shepherd .......

I've been a little "under the weather" lately, so blogging has been slow (well, non-existent.)

In my previous blog, I discussed the upcoming (next month) "Author Extravaganza" at Main Street Books in Hattiesburg, MS. Main Street is owned by Jerry and Dianne Shepherd who are also very involved in community life.

After retiring from the Petal School System as a Principal, Jerry and Dianne, who had retired from USM, opened Main Street Books in 2002. They are tireless promoters of local authors.

Last week, on October 31st while I was having a Heart Cath in the Laurel, MS hospital, Jerry Shepherd was undergoing surgery, in Hattiesburg's FGH, for a Brain Tumor that had been discovered, just days before.

My diagnosis was better than Jerry's. The Brain Tumor is a Glioblastoma - which is a very aggressive type of brain cancer.

This sweet man, and his family is desperately in need of prayers.

Our family has had two occurrences with this type of cancer. It's unforgiving, relentless, and severe.

Prayers for you, Jerry Shepherd....and for your family.
