Wanted to give everyone a heads up. Fellow DTR member "riflemanUSMC" had a brain tumor removed December 1st last year. Been going thru treatments etc, everything looked good. I went up to Montana for Labor day to visit and pick up the Matco tool box I had bought from him. He was in good spirits and had a wicked sense of humor (the standard hard arsed Marine sense of humor). Couple MRI's later, things were looking up until the last MRI. They found another tumor and it was on a mission. Got word from his wife today that he had taken a turn for the worse. She returned from a business trip this afternoon and was shocked as to how far things have progressed in the last 4 days since she left. She called the doc and stated the symptoms that he was having and the doc said he had 2 to 8 weeks. Preston is a retired Master Gunny USMC and one hell of a guy. He and his family treated my fiance and I like blood and has done so since we met on this site. Labor day was the first time we met face to face after talking to each other for over 2 years on the phone, PM's thru here, emails and text messages. Pam (his wife) went out of her way to cook Melissa and I a very nice home cooked breakfast when we showed up at their house at 0630 after driving from Albuquerque all night. Coffee on and grub was GREAT!. I consider Preston to be my brother and he is family to me. Please keep them in your prayers and ask God to wrap his hands around them to heal their hearts and heal Preston. I know we all have our time to go and we can't do much anything when it is our time. This saturday is Prestons birthday too.

Thank you all and I am honored to have met such a great family.

 

For a fellow Marine, anything. Prayers outbound.

Semper Fi Master Guns.

Matthew 18:19 "Again, I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything you ask for, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven. 20 For where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them."


Thanks for letting us know,The bible is very clear on the power of agreement and prayer.


Father God we all come in agreement and ask in the Name of Jesus that you would simply heal the tumor. We pray that he would start to heal quickly and you would bring strenght back to his body, mind an spirit. We pray and ask that you will bring peace and comfort to him and his family. In Jesus name we pray AMEN!

 

Should the day come, God has a special place for the Master Guns. Tell his family that I wish him the best.

Semper Fidelis Marine!!
