I will say a rosary for him and the others you mentioned.

I'm sorry I saw this late, but fortunately some of his treatment is working and I know there are many praying for him (even some monks in Wales apparently). I don't know his real name, unfortunately. He's never shared it on the forum. I've been praying for him by his username, as silly as that sounds. I can ask if he's willing to share, though.

I will send some mental words tonight for your friend.  I’m not sure how compelling they will be since I am not a Christian, yet.

Enjoyed your HK clip too, Cosmic...thanks

Hi Doug.  My sincere condolences to you.  It is so hard to lose your Dad.  Regardless of our age, Dad is Dad.  We will grieve for him as long as it takes.  And one day we begin to honor him by trying to live the life that honors the man he was, the man he would want us to be, or maybe both. 
I will say a prayer for your Dad and for your family. 
Jim

I wanted to add this beautiful piece of sung prayer to the thread.  This is a Georgian Orthodox parish singing for the Pope who was visiting.  The man who begins singing about one minute in is simply amazing.  Further, the prayer is sung in Jesus' language, Aramaic.  Very moving.
