Please remember our former confrere NED LOUGHRAN in your prayers (ordination class of 1967). He is presently under hospice care in his home in Boston.
In March he learned that his prostate cancer, in remission for some eight years, has affected several lymph nodes, and he is presently under the care of a cancer oncologist. The prospects do not look good. He is bedridden and uses a special recliner.
Apparently he has little to no personal mobility. He is able to speak on the phone and appreciates friends calling him. He prefers we use his cell phone number. He asks us to spread the word about his situation to people who have been close to him through the years. Ned’s wife Maria is caring for him and very grateful for the support of our prayers. They have one adopted son, age 21, who is a senior soon to graduate from a college in Rhode Island.
Dear Ned,
Along with your many friends,. I plan to keep you before the Lord in prayer. This includes your wife,son and all those closest to you.
I’m sorry to hear about your prognosis & restrictions especially since I sense that you love to travel.
With that said, I’m glad that I have your picture and your name for my intercessory list.
May God grant you every richest blessing!
