have been in Sacramento taking care of her. She has had a few good days. I don't allow anyone that comes to visit her have any negative thoughts. On Sept. 8th she will be getting a 5 hr. dose of chemo. She just shaved her head, I told her to take control and not let the chemo take her hair, she looks beautiful. She has always worn large pretty earrings and makeup so she fixed herself up really awesome and she looks great without hair. Anyway if all you cuties could please send prayers her way I will really appreciate it. Her name is Connie and she has told me that she has felt all the prayers her friends and family have sent her way. I believe the more the better. So thank you in advance.

Update, my sister is not getting up much any more. The pain is to severe. I remember hearing when I was younger that cancer is not painful well guess what, it is. I have been crying today everytime someone calls I go outside so she can't hear me. Her pain level is pretty much a 10+, a 3 - 7 if she doesn't move. But just to give her her pain meds she sits up and the pain shoots up. Her husband and I are really trying to stay strong at least in front of her. Tomorrow she goes in for her 2nd round of chemo, it will be 5 hours, but the last time they said 3 hrs and it took 6. So I ask and pray that all you Cuties continue to pray with all your being especially tomorrow. God bless you all for all the kindness and prayers.

by maryclampitt 08 Sep 2010

I am really trying to stay strong at this point but it is not easy to see her wither away, she is so loved by so many she gets many phone calls but gets winded when she talks and has shortness of breath due to the morphine. Thank you so much.

by maryclampitt 08 Sep 2010

Oh how I wish I were an angel with wings so I could cover her with my wings and relieve the pain she is going through. Thank you for the prayers.

by maryclampitt 08 Sep 2010

Thank you so much. All the prayers that everyone is sending her way are so greatly appreciated. I am sending love and hugs back to all of you for your prayers and hugs.

by maryclampitt 07 Sep 2010

My heart is so heavy. It is so painful to watch someone that was so full of life withering away. The pain she has is so bad that it hurts to get up or even sit up to take her meds. Thank you so much for all the prayers.

by maryclampitt 07 Sep 2010

Thank you for the hugs and prayers.

by maryclampitt 07 Sep 2010

I have been shedding tears today, of course not in front of her. She has been having some very bad days. Thank you for your prayers.

by maryclampitt 07 Sep 2010

Thank you so much.

by maryclampitt 07 Sep 2010

I pray you are doing well. I am sorry for your lost. My prayers are with you. And thank you for your prayers.

by maryclampitt 07 Sep 2010

I know I need to trust in our Lord but their are times I feel all alone. I want to feel his arms around me and tell me everything will be okay. I'm sure he is here with us but when I see my sister in so much pain I ask where are you Lord, I know I should not have doubts. I do want to say thank you for the prayers.

by maryclampitt 07 Sep 2010

Right now we need a miracle. She is having problems getting up and staying up because the pain shoots up to the point where she cries. She is spending more time in bed. I really do appreciate the prayers that are being sent our way. Thank you.

by maryclampitt 07 Sep 2010

Thank you for the prayers and for the support from all you Cuties.

by maryclampitt 07 Sep 2010

thank you so very much

by maryclampitt 07 Sep 2010

Angels, to hold her and take some of the pain away. I am sorry for all your losses. God bless you.

by maryclampitt 07 Sep 2010

Thank u so much. It is really a blessing to have so many cuties praying for my sister Connie. She really is so greatful to all of you.

by maryclampitt 05 Sep 2010

Thank u for the prayers. I can't always check my mail. But please be aware that I really do appreciate all you CUTIES for all the prayers.

by maryclampitt 05 Sep 2010

Thank you. She had a blood transfusion Sat. morning, it took 4 hours and she slept most of the time. Sorry it has taken so long to reply and send my thanks but she hasn't been doing very well.

by maryclampitt 07 Sep 2010

All of you Cuties have really been so supportive. I want to cry and scream, I want to be held and be told everything will be okay, but I just can't let her see me fall apart so I do it while I am in the shower or while she is in bed. Then I am okay, it just pains me to see her suffering. I know I need to be strong and I am when she needs me to be, but I have my moments. Thank you so much and I will take you up on your offer if I need someone to talk to. Thank you so very much.

by maryclampitt 05 Sep 2010

I just want to say thank you for all the prayers. Sometime I just don't have the time or even the energy to read what you Cuties have written. I get up at 4 am everyday to get my day going and get things ready for her. Her coffee toast,meds. So sometimes I just chill and watch TV for a while and call it a nite around 10 pm. But thank you so much for the prayers.,

by maryclampitt 31 Aug 2010

I appreciate the prayers, thank you for taking the time to add us to your prayers.

by maryclampitt 31 Aug 2010

Since all my brothers and sisters have come from all over we have had some really good times remembering our childhood days, we have laughed soooo much and although she goes to her room to sleep very often, when she is up we make her laugh and she will tell me she had such a good time. Thank you so much for the prayers.

by maryclampitt 31 Aug 2010

I appreciate all the prayers and I just told her tonite that I had you cuties from all over the world praying for her. She gave me a big smile and then fell asleep. So thank you so much.

by maryclampitt 31 Aug 2010

God is so great, he really does listen to prayers. She has been such a great sister and had always been there for me. She has actually been the pillar of our family and an awesome role model to us all. She is loved by so many. Thank you for the prayers.

by maryclampitt 31 Aug 2010

Thank you so much.

by maryclampitt 31 Aug 2010

I truly appreciate all the prayers we are receiving. I even ask the Lord to keep me healthy. I just can't afford to get sick. Her husband also needs to stay healthy and he has been suffering from back and neck problems. I thank the Lord for giving me such an understanding husband. He keeps telling me that she needs to be my priority right now and he reminds me of how many times he had to deploy and that he can fend for himself for now. God bless him. I'm sure the Lord is watching over all of us. thank you so much.

by hanna56 01 Sep 2010

I like your view so much!
Even in this sad times you can thank for what you have - this will enoy the Lord too much.
At least he see every heart and will remove all our tears and pain - he promised that and I believe in that deeply.
Again blessings for all your love you poor out.
The Lord also may bless your and your husband for setting you free - this cannot be assumed!

Thank you for all your prayers.

by maryclampitt 31 Aug 2010

Thank you so much. Yes we are all very close. My brother and his wife have an orphanage in Honduras with over 400 orphanes and he too was able to come visit her for a couple of days. They prayed with her and has had the children praying for her.

by maryclampitt 31 Aug 2010

Thank you so much. I only got on the Cutie site because I knew the Cuties would be very supportive in time of need. So please know that I truly appreciate all the prayers coming our way. She has started sleeping more and the drugs keep her asleep most of the day. Thank you for the prayers.

by maryclampitt 31 Aug 2010

You know, a wk before she found out she had cancer she had bought a couple of comforters, she hadn't even taken them out of the bag and when she found out she wanted to return everything, we told her no way, she wasn't dead yet. Well now we have her going shopping and getting clothes on her good days. You know what even if she never gets to wear any of it, that is okay, because we get her out of the house even if it is for 1/2 an hour. She loves her Starbucks so we take her to get that shop a little and then home to bed. I cleaned her house (I love to clean)so now I just watch over her pamper her, but I am trying to get her to do minor things around her house because she has not been able to use her arm due to the cancer. She has a lot of pain but I try to have her do small things around here to get her juices flowing. I pick on her to make her laugh. She keeps asking me to please stay for as long as I can, I keep telling her I'm not going anywhere unless they get tired of me and want me gone. So I'm here for the long haul. I'm sorry if I'm going on and on but sometime I just need to get it out and shed my tears when she is asleep. Thank you for listening and for the prayers.

Mary, what a loveing and special sister you are - you are doing God's work here - thank you for being you and making this time so special for her.

by maryclampitt 31 Aug 2010

So many of you Cuties have been a Godsend. Thank you for all the prayers.

by maryclampitt 31 Aug 2010

Thank you so much, and she is in God's hands. She has accepted that. Our concern is also with her husband, we all know that he will be totally lost without her. They have been married since they were 16 yrs old and they just celebrated their 49th wedding ann. What a marriage.

by maryclampitt 31 Aug 2010

by maryclampitt 06 Sep 2010

The Lords strength is what keeps me from falling apart. I thank you for your prayers.

by maryclampitt 06 Sep 2010

Thank you so much. I remember when I used

by maryclampitt 06 Sep 2010

Thank you so much. I remember when I was a child well up to my teen age years we would say the rosary every night. It seems that now as an adult I only say it when I need something. Again thank you,.

by maryclampitt 06 Sep 2010

I pray that he is listening to you all. I just want her to be pain free for 1 day, I would ask for more days but I don't want to be greeting.

by maryclampitt 06 Sep 2010

Thank u 4 your prayers.

by maryclampitt 06 Sep 2010

I am trying to stay strong. She was just telling me that she feels she needs to stay srtong for her husband and children (they're adults). I told her no, that if she needs to cry; do it, it is okay to cry in front of the kids and it is okay if the kids cry. It doesn't make you weak it makes you human.

by maryclampitt 06 Sep 2010

Thank you for the daily rosary. I told her you were doing that, and I told her we had a bunch of Cuties from all over praying for her, she is so grateful. So thank you from all of us.

by maryclampitt 07 Sep 2010

Thank you so very much. Greatly appreciated.

by maryclampitt 12 Sep 2010

Thank you.

by maryclampitt 31 Aug 2010

Thank you. Your prayers are sooooo appreciated.

by maryclampitt 31 Aug 2010

I will share this with her when she has the energy to read. Thank you so much.

by maryclampitt 31 Aug 2010

Thank you so much. The pain you must have suffered along with them, God bless you, I know so many of the Cuties have someone they know too that has suffered or passed away, so I knew I could ask many of you to please keep her in prayer. Again thank you so much.

by maryclampitt 30 Aug 2010

Thank you, and I know I may be asking for a lot, but maybe if you belong to a church or something maybe you can ask them also to pray for her. I really would appreciate it. Could you also include her husband Manuel to give him strengh through out this. They just celebrated their 49th wedding anniversay on the 20th. They have been such a role model. Again thank you so much.

by maryclampitt 31 Aug 2010

Thank you so much.

by maryclampitt 31 Aug 2010

My sister has always been like my mother. My mother and I have never been close since I was a child so she took me under her wing, so it has been difficult for me but I will be here for her for as long as she needs me. I make her laugh even when she is in pain and that is how I want to remember her. We are very close so it pains me to see her suffer. She will rarely complain that she is in pain but you can see it while she sleeps. I too will pray for your aunt. All my brothers and sisters have come to visit w/her and they did not say good-bye only that they would see her soon. Thank you for your prayers.

by maryclampitt 30 Aug 2010

Thank you so very much. I knew I could count on all of you. I say the power of prayer is so great. I want to share this story, I hope you have a couple of minutes. I was at Macy's with my other sister that was also visiting. The cashier asked if there was anything else she could help us with. I asked her if she believed in God, Jesus, the Lord, Christ take you pick. She said yes, so I asked her to pray for my sister, she asked for her name so we told her and she said "Oh my God" I know her she used to come in here everyday with her husband to browse around and get out of the house, I know about her puppies, etc." She came from around the counter and held our hands and prayered right there in the center of the aisle in Macy's. She was so sweet to do that, I was like totally floored I didn't expect that but it was so beautiful.

by maryclampitt 30 Aug 2010

You have been blessed by the Lord to have kept you cancer free for so long. I have had a couple of melt downs with her when she tells me how much pain she is in. I just hold her. Her husband is also a wonderful man so between the both of us we tend to her meds, get her out when she is up to it. I also have a wonderful husband for being understanding and telling me that she is more important right now. Thank you for your prayers.

by maryclampitt 30 Aug 2010

God bless you. My sister had just had her physical in May and all was well. End of June she went to the dr. because of pain in the shoulder and that is when they found the cancer, the first dr. gave her 2-3 months another dr. told her they were not God and only God knew when and how long she had. She has been able to see all of her brothers/sisters and we have all taken picture with her. I sorry I am going on and on. I just feel I need to let it out. Thank you for you response.
