Linda, Layton Howertons wife has passed due to cancer. If you ask me she died due to chemo. Layton and I had a discussion over the phone a couple months ago and decided most chemo is bad medicine
The found Linda's cancer almost 2 years after mine and went to the grave on it. She had been bed ridden for months before she died. Layton doesn't think to well of chemo, told me he would never take chemo and tried to talk his wife out of it.
Say a prayer for Layton and his family. Help him out with all the bills and buy some of his music from Amazon. I need to call him, that is hard for me. I'm next.
Layton Howerton music
Sheesh, man, that sucks. Praying for them...
ReplyDeleteI'm next.
ReplyDeleteKeep fighting. I'm still praying
My wife has been a volunteer at a local cancer treatment center for over twelve years and she agrees with your conclusion about chemo.
ReplyDeleteJust checking in to see how you are doing.
ReplyDeleteHeath-wise, very poor
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to see that you are still above ground and kicking.
ReplyDeleteI drop by here most days to see if you've posted. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
I'll give a "me too" to Res' comment...praying for you, Outlaw X.
ReplyDeleteJust checking in.
ReplyDeleteIf you feel up to it, an update on how you're doing would be appreciated.
Baring a miracle I won't see Easter. I can no longer walk because I fall and I cannot get up. If I sit in a chair less than30 inches I can't stand back up without some kind of thing to pull me up. When I fall it is like a piece of dead meat hitting the floor which badly injures me. I fell on my face and busted it up so bad I thought I was going to drown in my blood before someone could turn my head.
ReplyDeleteIt is taken me 20 minutes to type this.
My friend,
ReplyDeleteI have been praying for you. I know that may seem like small consultation as your life becomes a struggle to live. It grieves me to know that you suffer, and it saddens me to know that you will not be with us much longer.
I've enjoyed knowing you on the net. I regret that I never got around to coming down and shooting hogs on the peanut farm. Thank you for your stimulating comments and conversations.
May the Lord bless you and keep you.
May His face shine upon you, and be gracious to you.
May He look upon you with kindness, and give you His peace.
May almighty God bless you, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
May the ending of your days be better than the beginning.
May He usher you into His Presence.
May you dwell in the House of the Lord Forever.
In the Name of Jesus
Amen
Hey Outlaw, don't know if you are reading anymore, but either way, I hope you are able to look forward to getting on the other side of the looking glass. Hard to do with the physical emotional and psychological barriers, but may the spiritual gates be wide open.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to miss your musings - big time - but I'm not going to waste a minute missing them until you are gone. Until that day comes, thanks for everything you've given to the Ilk and to me.
Praying for mercy and for your continued honor.
See you in the great beyond, Outlaw. This failing world will be all the poorer without you.
ReplyDeleteOutlaw, Im praying for you bro, take it easy - if possible just ask for hospice care at home - not sure if that would work, just a suggestion. most importantly continue to nuture your faith in this ministry of suffering, the Lord is at your side, mercy, grace and consolation will never leave your side.
ReplyDeleteLord ease and help those reading and missing another Linda, taken down in illness. the chemo is no good but she fought the good fight. shes freed in christ.
ReplyDeleteif you go before me, remind God or something that I am stuck here and things are too complicated here. I never feel well, cannot return to work, no one around me knows as its none of their business. want off this crazy train the only relief I get is when I go against who I am and take the meds which in turn torment me or at times help. or the daily hobbies, no one understands those but they work for me. I'm not going down without being pretty, going down fighting, kicking and screaming is for people who are living not dying, they will live forever, recover, feisty humanity.
let go of what is left undone, someone else can carry on. its ok to not have the energy or drive to 'fight, fix' whatever pple want. I dont have the energy to fight and explain myself anymore. its not suicide, its poor health after I've tried my best. we belong to the Lord and its all that ever mattered anyways.
Hey, Outlaw. I hope you're doing well; I'm praying for you.
ReplyDeleteJust dropping in. I've sent some email to you. I hope you are still with us.
ReplyDeleteHello Everyone I am Outlaw's Nephew. I hate to be the bearer of bad news but, unfortunately Outlaw passed away last night at around 7:30. Personally, I had no idea my Uncle had this many followers on his blog. He was always a bright person and always had his own unique opinion on any topic. His death was a very tragic loss to our family. I would like to thank all of you for your prayers and support.
ReplyDeleteVery sorry for you loss, Brian.
ReplyDeleteHe will be missed. Prayers en route.
RIP, Outlaw.
Brian, I'm sorry for your loss. Your uncle has been in my thoughts and prayers and will be missed.
ReplyDeleteMy condolences to you and your family.
I too have been praying for him...condolences, Brian T, and I look forward to meeting your uncle in Heaven someday.
ReplyDeleteCondolences to all your family, Brian. Thanks for letting us know. He will be missed.
ReplyDeleteRIP, Outlaw X.
Brian,
ReplyDeleteThank you for letting us know. Your uncle was a great guy and several of us have known and enjoyed interacting with him over the years. We liked arguing, agreeing and hanging out together.
A blog is kinda like a coffee shop. The same guys get together and BS with each other. Sometimes its about getting a cup of Joe, sometimes its about having a place to go.
Your Uncle Gregg is going to be missed by a lot of folks that never met him in real life. Please tell his mom and brother that I am saddened by his passing. They don't know me or anything but they might gain some comfort in knowing that Gregg had friends all over the country and the world that are missing him right now too.
May your family find comfort in this time of grief. I wish I had words to ease your sadness. No mother should live to see the passing of her children. No one should have to be whiteness to the wicked progression of cancer or to suffer degrading death at its hand. It is my deepest sorrow that this fate has befallen your family.
God our Father,
Your power brings us to birth,
Your providence guides our lives,
and by Your command we return to dust.
Lord, those who die still live in Your presence,
their lives change but do not end.
I pray in hope for my family,
relatives and friends,
and for all the dead known to You alone.
In company with Christ,
Who died and now lives,
may they rejoice in Your kingdom,
where all our tears are wiped away.
Unite us together again in one family,
to sing Your praise forever and ever.
Amen.
Jim
Thank you guys for all the condolences and prayers, and thank you all for supporting Gregg throughout his suffering, I'm glad that Gregg had so many people that supported him on his blog. Jim, I will make sure that his mom and brother reads the comments here, I know they will be comforted that so many people supported Gregg and continue to pray for him.
ReplyDeleteBrian, These posts were about him:

This blog is where most of us got to know him, over a decade ago.:

Giraffe, thank you for showing these to me. I knew my Uncle had a good amount of followers on his blog, but I didn't know he had this many. Moreover, I had no idea he had been blogging for this long. I suppose I should have known, he always did like to debate and instill his knowledge upon others. I'm sure Gregg is honored to have so many people that are praying for his soul.

DeleteBy the way, I'm not sure if you guys noticed, but Gregg passed away on Good Friday, the same day that Jesus died on the cross. Also there was a lunar eclipse that night, just something to think about. Anyway, I would like to thank you all once again for your prayers and thoughts.
ReplyDeleteMay God Bless You All,
Brian

ReplyDeleteIt goes back even further than this -- Gregg had several blogs prior to this one, at least four more that I can remember (all of which are, regrettably, now defunct). One of those he called Texas Farm and Ranch, in which he shared his knowledge of topics such as irrigation and wells. I know at one point he also developed software for firearm ballistics; though I haven't used it myself, I know several of his other readers did.
Just thought you might like to know how extensively he shared that knowledge.
Sadly missed Bro, but heaven awaits all whom believe, my sincere sad condolences, Lpolverini
ReplyDeleteLet us never forget;
ReplyDelete"God our Father,

You are missed, brother. Merry Christmas to your family & friends.
ReplyDeleteGood Friday a year ago when you passed on, Outlaw. Rest easy, man.
