Gail Brown In Hospice

Some of you may know Dave Brown, past president of TLCA. His wife Gail has had cancer for a while now and is in failing health. Matt Farr, Rising Sun President and TLCA Webmaster posted this up on the Rising Sun forum earlier today:

We didn't know about it.

Today she has been moved to the Johnson Hospice on Arapahoe Rd. in Englewood.
We don't know how much time she has.

I just spoke to Dave. They've been battling Gail's cancer for several years now. The cancer was stage 4 when diagnosed, so it's been a long, tough battle, and they knew it was likely a losing battle eventually.

Gail is conscious today, but she is weak. Dave was just heading down the hill to be with her. He's exhausted too -- only getting about 4 hours of sleep a night.

If you know Dave, you might give him a call or send him a note. Even if you don't know Dave, please keep Gail, Dave and their family in your prayers.

Very sorry to hear that. I hope all goes well, whatever that may be.

Thoughts and prayers to the both of them and their family. Still remember a great manifold-cooked burrito she sent with Dave and a group of us on a run to Pritchett Canyon a few years ago.

My prayers will be with this family.

We heard from Dave the other day. No change and not much chance for improvement.

I'm sad to report that Gail Brown passed away last night. I have no other information at this time.
