My Sweet Angie Got Her Angel Wings This Week

Postby miked » Fri Feb 24, 2017 11:54 pm

After an 8 year 11 month battle with the beast, Angie, my wife of 31 almost 32 years got her angel wings and met Jesus just after midnight Wednesday morning. Angie lived a 90% normal life with this disease. She had 3 surgeries and more rounds of chemo than I can count. However, I am convinced that the herbal/botanical protocol she was on from Donnie Yance, afforded her to live an almost normal lifef. The Mederi Foundation offered her chemo protection and another element to help fight the cancer. At inital diagnosis in March 2008 a Hopkins doctor said she had less than a year. Thank God we didn't listen. She suffered minimal neuropathy and no hair thinning on Fofiri. She was an inspiration to many. We would visit people the hospital, offered financial support to others, refer patients to the Mederi Foundation and created a Facebook page to give people hope around the world. She was a shining light to so many as is evidenced by the hundreds of posts on FB from my death announcement. God Bless You All.
