Forgive this off topic post.
I had written a brief note earlier to the New Project group about my son-in-law, David Mullins and his losing battle with throat cancer.
This was what I said in that post.
------------------------------
"I want to share this with you. I spent Saturday and Sunday with my son-in-law, David Mullins, in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. He is 49. He is terminally ill with throat cancer.
"I went to spend the weekend with him and my oldest daughter, Barbara, during a very trying time for both of them.
"He only has a few months to live. Not having seen David in months, I was still not prepared to see this healthy, happy robust man being eaten away with cancer.
"We had great quality time together, talking over this life and the one to come. His voice is raspy, almost inaudible, but still we talked at length on what has been and what is to come.
"Before I left, David got some real assurance on the destiny of his immortal being when he steps out of this life into the next one.
"I know this is not a religious forum, and I hope no one will be offended.
"Like everyone, I have my own religious convictions, not to be forced upon anyone else here. So if this is offensive, please disregard it.
"But after talking and praying together, I know David is ready to meet his Maker and his Savior. There is nothing more important in this world than that."
------------------------------
He stepped into eternity this morning exactly one week after my visit down there at about 5AM. He is with God.
I'm so greatful I had last weekend down in Fort Lauderdale with him to talk about what was coming and how to be ready for it.
David asked me to speak at his funeral, which I will be doing next week.
Remember my sweet daughter Barbara and their children during this trying time.
Fortunately, their two sons were with Barbara when David passed away so she did not have to face it alone.
Barbara and David spent their last night together holding each other in bed...and then he was gone.
Thank you all for concern...Wild Bill
