Alicia's friend from Joseph passed away last weekend. He first was diagnosed with cancer when he was a senior in high school and he has fought off that and 2 other bouts of different cancer and just got done with chemo for a return of his original lymphoma and he thought he had pneumonia because he couldn't breathe. They took him to the ER and the doctor said it was cancer and Levi said, NO IT ISN"T. I don't have lung cancer. so his dad came and took him home to Joseph for Christmas and the doctors in Enterprise found that it was indeed cancer and he died a day or two later.
I know he couldn't take another round of chemo. He was so tired and so sad. His name was Levi Bobbit - I know we have written posts about him before. In kindergarden, Alicia said his name was Levi 501 Jeans, so that is what we have always called him.
We are thankful that his last months were spent leaning on the Lord and finding his relationship with God and we know that he must be in a better place where there is no pain or swelling or chemo, but he was so young - just 28 - and instead of being a teenager and a young man who experienced life, he spent the greater part of the last 10 years fighting to just breathe.
We love you Levi and we'll be thinking of you.

I'm so sorry to hear of the loss of a dear friend. Cancer can be so brutal and it seems so many are affected by it. May a sense of peace come to you in days to come. We love you.
Earlene and Scott
