The picture above is of Duane and Becky Summers. I don't know either one of them personally but I have said their names many times in my prayers.
Becky and I share alot of things, knowing the Love of Christ, strength when we think we have none, amazing children. The one thing that I wish we didn't share is the fact that both of our husbands have Stage 4 colon cancer. Becky and I have exchanged emails, encouraged one another and have commented on one anothers blogs over the past month or so. She truly is wonderful and I am glad to have her in my life.
Her Husband, her Superman has been battling his cancer for a little more than a year now. He lost that battle yesterday after giving it a good fight.
Duane and Becky have 7 amazing, beautiful, extraordinary children. They have lost their Daddy, their Hero.
The Summers Family Fund has been established to help this wonderful family with the trials ahead. If anyone would like to help please inquire at any Bank of Oklahoma or mail donations directly to:

I think I wandered over to her site from yours the other day and read a good chunk of her blog. I'm so sorry...
And I want to hug YOU, really badly.
Thank you for telling us about them. I will be heading over there to give them my sympathy. Sometime it´s just so hard to understand God´s ways with us!

I'm speechless. I hate that. I want to say the right thing and I feel totally speechless.
I'm praying for her family and I'm praying for yours.
I am so sorry. I am sure that their story was one that you really connected with...and one that is making your day a little more difficult. Okay...maybe a lot more. I hope that cyber {{hugs}} will work for now...

Oh, man. That's just heartbreaking. I can't imagine what their family must be going through. And seven kids. Wow.
I will keep them and your family in my prayers. My dad had colon cancer so I can sympathize with what you all are going through.
Ohhhh, that is horrible. I am going to head over there right now and send her good thoughts.
I am at a loss for words. I just hope that God wraps his arms around them so, SO tight and they can have a tiny bit of peace.
Thank you for sending the information.
God Bless every single one of them.
Thank you so deeply. I have angels seen and unseen all around me and my seven super summers.
I took a brief moment to escape from reality. Thank you all for the lift!
It is a reminder how we must all not take one moment for granted. I will make sure my family knows that I love them TONIGHT!!!
Good luck with your trials as well.
I visited their site and left a message. Thanks for letting us send our prayers.
Kori,
Thank you for sharing this families story. I will go to the sites.
I am so sorry to hear this. Alas, he is healed and walking right into the arms of the Lord. Amen.
