    For some of you who have known Erich and Carol Dreher, who are ex-JWs with many of their family members still in the org, Erich writes:

    Dear Randy,
    I don't use the computer much at all especially using e-mail so I am
    just hoping that this message will get to you.
    Carol has always thought very highly of you and would share your
    messages with me. She really did regard you as her spiritual son. ( I
    should say regards you as your spiritual son) We have had a really rough
    year as regards Carol's health. She has had two major brain operations
    diagnosed cancer and this last one was May 8th which was not successful.
    She is now in Mercy Hospital in Scranton Pa and they say that it won't be
    too long until she is with our Lord.. Rest assured that she is now looking
    forward to meeting our Lord and Praising Him eternally. Although I will
    miss her terribly, the fact that I am 68 means it will not be too long
    until I see my dear wife and of course my Lord also. I want to thank you
    for your support of my wife and friendship and of course prayers. We have
    had contact now with our eldest son twice a day since the operation and our
    second son calls also and visited Carol with our daughter and law and our
    granddaughter yesterday at the hospital.

    Your brother in Christ and friend

    Erich M. Dreher.
    P. S. If you have contact with David Reed, Lori Macgregor or any of the
    other ministries would you let them know ? That is if indeed you get this
    yourself.

    Carol is a wonderful woman and we don't want to see her go! Please pray for her and if you email me I can send you her address so Erich can pass your cards on.

    yours,

    Randy Watters [email protected]

    Awww....Im so sorry to hear about this lady. I have not had the pleasure of meeting her but I know she is our sister out here in EXJW land, and has suffered the loss of her family like the rest of us. But she has been free to follow her faith and live her life and for that we can be thankful. Please send our condolences to her husband Randy. Life is sooooooooooooooooooo short and precious. I am mad that I wasted 13 years of it in the Borg, but to waste any more time of my days lamenting the loss of THOSE...would be a travesty.

    The morning sun is out, the mocking birds are singing, there is a smell of fresh cut grass in the air and the sound of kids laughing because they are out of school...and my coffee is hot and my own kids are still sleeping. The dog is laying on my feet and I am connected to the internet....life is good :) Compared to Carol...whatever problems I have...dont even register. God bless her family.
