He did however, swithch me to the Florence Unit (Medical Chief) Mr Percy Howard, and I was able to find out that he had been diagnosed with a late stage of lung cancer. And there were other complications: high fever, and infection (pneumonia).

INFORMED OF URGENCY TO VISIT

Many inquiries during the next few days unveiled a time limit on Lynn's life: not over six months, but could be anyday.

A visit to Saint Mary's Hospital was setup with the help of Major Yeger (Florence Unit).

We had been pre-approved for (1) hour on June 21st, (2) hours on June 22nd, (2) hours on June 23rd and (1) hour on June 24th.

And we are very thankful for the assistance that Major Yeger provided.

BY THE GRACE OF GOD AND FAMILY....

....our visit was made possible with the financial help and support offered by the memeber's at Silverlake Baptist Church (Wilmington NC), Mother's brother and sister-in-law (Jimmy & Sue Gause), and the many caring, giving friend's of Mother's.

We landed at Tucson International on the morning of June 21st.

It was not uneventful...we were randomly picked at each stop to have our luggage and person searched.
My Mother, who had never flown before, tells how she waited until the age of 80, to fly and to be frisked..(3) times.
