Sad Update On Julius

10 years ago

I posted several weeks ago asking for prayers for my friend's brother Julius. Unfortunately he lost his battle with lymphoma last week. He suffered terribly, but fought bravely. Thanks to those of you who sent prayers and good thoughts. Please keep his family in your thoughts. Thanks!!

Polly, are you talking about Bradley? I'm devastated. I was following his progress and it seemed that the new spot was nothing to worry about. OMG, how tragic this news is. I had been getting regular blog updates until recently and then they stopped. Could you please pose the link to the family blog once again? Are any donations being accepted for the family?

I am so sorry you are in this mess. Ours has gone way beyond schedule and we still have no stove, but we have cabs at least that we can keep and some counters (not all). I don't know what to tell you other than to be the squeaky wheel. It sounds like you are doing all the right things. Do you have any beefy family members or friends who could put a little fear into the RTSOG? I'd make it clear you will take all necessary measure, starting with the commission, but that you will not rest until he has made things right, commission or not. If they don't fear the commission itself.... BTW - what vehicle does the RTSOG drive? I'd take pix of it and take a picture of his house if either or both are impressive. Those may be good to show the commission if it is not resolved in time. They will see pix of how you are living and should know how he is living while he owes you money to fix your place.

The tiles are different. The floor tile it too big to be used in the shower and there are several mosaic options from that company. I never saw the one I picked in the grey color way until my order showed up. I was a little nervous, but I love it! Tile shopping...my floor tile is on top and the shower tile, in black, is on the left. Other styles I considered to give you a sense of what this company does. Their mosaics are really interesting! When the order came in...

I'm so sorry, Mare. We have a friend with nhl and while he's ok right now, it won't be forever. So tough.

Julius was a big strapping guy, a former Pa State Trooper 66 yrs old. He was just diagnosed with NHL in March. My DDIL's father, died of it in1996 at 50 yrs old, 2 yrs after diagnosis. I had a brother in Law who died of Hodgekin's Disease in 1966 at age 36. Nasty diseases.
