Dear Classic Chevy Friends,

As some of you will know Heather and I have two daughters, one of which is 47 year old Brenda (Howes). Brenda has had a good, mostly healthy, non-smoker life until about a month ago her world, and our's collapsed. Brenda has asthma and while going through a particularly bad bout last month, she went to the hospital. Part of the examination involved a chest x-ray which revealed a devastating find. Brenda not only had a collapsed lung, but it was badly invaded with cancer. Further tests showed that the cancer had spread to her brain as well as her adrenal gland. Without going into a lot of detail, suffice it to say that with chemotherapy and radiation therapy, the dire outlook has not improved at all. As, perhaps you can imagine, we are in absolute shock, particularly since this has 'come out of nowhere'.

Friends, I do not tell you this asking for your sympathy, but instead that you join us in praying for our Brenda. We belief that with a huge cry from us 'mere mortals', that, The Almighty' will hear our plea and spare her from this awful plight or at the very least ease her passing. If you can, please put her husband Brian and their 14 year old son in your prayers as well.
