Relay For Life of Josephine County

03/01/2021

This is Debi and I am writing this tonight for someone that we all know, love and admire so very much. Loraine Matt and I have been chatting for a couple of weeks on messenger while she has been going through another journey that we all hoped she would never walk again. Loraine has asked me if I could put words together in this challenging time for her and Vince. Her cancer has returned and has metastasized to other areas of her body. An MRI will be run tomorrow on her brain and another to follow in days to come on her backbone. Loraine who is always so giving of herself for all in need is asking only for prayers and that is something we Relayers know well. In days to come I will follow up with more information and ways that we can help Loraine and family in whatever they will need. Thank you in advance for your hearts as I know this is difficult news to hear. She is in good spirits and wanted you to know how much she loves you all and wanted me to THANK YOU for loving her back...💜
