Roger's Cancer Free Party

My father in law, Roger, has been fighting Leukemia for the last 6 months.  He has been blessed to be able to come home in between treatments and live a fairly normal life through all of the this.  His body has reacted well in every stage of the treatment.  He truly has been blessed and we know that he was supposed to win this battle. 
Many prayers and fasting have been offered upon his and Marilyn's behalf these past six months.  They have so many dear friends and family that have been so supportive during this trial.  They really helped both Marilyn and Roger through these difficult and stressful times.  It has been neat to see the positive attitude that both Marilyn and Roger have shown these past few months.  They have always been optimistic.

The end of May, Roger was finished with his last chemo treatment.  He was so excited to be home and not have all the drugs and medicine.  Brandon decided to throw him a "cancer free" party on May 25th.  Many friends and family came to eat dinner and show their support to the family.
 It was a fun time and we are thankful that Roger was able to be blessed with this cancer going into remission.  His work is not finished on this Earth and he still has lots of people to impact for the good and he still has thousands of miles to go on his four wheeler!
