Cory Hiers

 

Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven. - Matthew 18:10

Cory is almost 17 and found out yesterday that she has liver cancer. Her mommy is a friend of Mommy's and Daddy's and her step daddy works with my daddy. She had cancer in her eye a cuple of years ago and had to get it taken out. Now this!

It get's even more interestin'. Seems my cousin - Martha Brantley - is her bilogikal daddy's cousin. Weird, huh?

Anyway, they don't know zactly what they are gonna do yet, but they are tryin' to go see the St. Judes doctors. They have lots of doctors at the St. Judes place who have helped kids with liver cancer. Pray that they get to go real soon and that they find a way to fix Cory. Pray that she gets healed totally. Thanks.

Cory starts the keymo stuff tomorrow. If the keymo stuff works, there is a place in Filadelfia that she can go. Please ask God real nice to make the keymo work so she can get better.

Cory and her family got sum bad news. Last week they were told that the keymo stuff wazn't gonna work and she would probably die in two months.

She and her family are tryin' ta go on trip thru Make A Wish. We think they will, so please ask God to make that happen and let her feel gud for the whole trip.

Ya know what wud be even better - if God wud just go ahead and fix her rite now. If He duzn't think that's the rite thing ta do, maybe they cud go on the trip, then He cud fix her. I guest I wud settle for that.

Cory went on her trip. She's s'posed ta be home now. They went to see Mickey and Minnie. From what Daddy said, the wishin' peeples planned a gud trip, but now it's time ta get down ta work. I don't really know what's happenin', but I think I'll just take a stab and say please, please, pretty please with baby food on it, pray for Cory to be totally healed. Jesus can do it if He is asked. For that matter, He can do it even if He isn't asked, but he likes ta hear from ya, so please pray to Him lots and often.

Cory took her final trip today at 'bout 3:00 pm. She's with Jesus now and can do the babysittin' for Jaxon, Tyler and our other friends when Jesus want's her too. I never got to see her, but there was a story 'bout her and her friends on the TB and Mr. Stuart showed Daddy and sum other peeples at the office the story. Daddy says she was pretty.

I don't know why ya grownups use that "was" word so much. I think she still is pretty. In fak, I think now that she's in heaven, she is prettier than she ever was on Earth. Guess that means she's Georgous now.

Anyway, please pray for Stuart, Susan (her Mommy), Zack and Landry (her brudders) and her birth Daddy. Also pray for her friends. When ya are young, it hurts lots more to lose friends. I know 'cause I been there, dun that and do not 'ntend to by anymore t-shirts.
