I only met her because I was a Facebook friend of her husband, R.C. Sproul, Jr., whom I know simply through a network of friends. Denise died today from relapsed AML (Acute Myeloid Leukemia). That’s the more aggressive version of what Beth has/had (sort of). Same family of leukemias. She had been hoping to receive a second bone marrow transplant, but that never came about.
Blessed are they that die in the Lord.
This was written before Denise passed so RC Jr had additional suffering awaiting him at the time this was written, but he does does a great putting into perspective the suffering we endure we endure relative the eternal hope of glory. http://www.ligonier.org/learn/articles/hope/
Hmmm. I need to repeat Proof-Reading 101.
Hi Greg — I had seen the “Hope” piece in my flipping around to various linked articles. Not that this is a contest, but in every respect, the Sproul family seems to be having a more difficult time than we are, and are handling it more graciously.
