Regular readers will remember my bleg a few weeks ago to help James and Tirzah Burns. James was suffering from pancreatic and other problems, and was in a bad way. I linked to a GiveSendGo fundraiser for them.
Sadly, James didn't make it. His illness was too far advanced. He went home last week under hospice care, and died yesterday afternoon.
Tirzah is left with their two young children, a son and a daughter, and now has to take care of all the arrangements for the funeral and a host of legal paperwork. James was the family breadwinner, so there's also the question of how the family will earn a living in future. My wife and I love and highly respect Tirzah, so we're sure she'll be working hard to find solutions, but to lose one's "other half" is . . . well, to call it "traumatic" is a massive understatement! She's got a very big load on her shoulders for the next few months.
If you're able, please click over to their fundraiser and help the family with even a small amount. Every little helps.
May James rest in God's peace, and may his sins be forgiven him.
Peter
