Dear Friends,
Hospice suspects that Cathy’s death is not far away, probably measured in days. She is now being significantly medicated for terminal agitations which began tormenting her yesterday. A few days ago we had our farewell talk/cry when I gave her my love and support to die. It was very tender and very painful. We held on tight and cried heavily together. A pure blessing to be sure. I’m doing my best to keep her comfortable and holding hands to the end.
Love, T & C

This message leave us shattered in Serabu.
Tom, there are no words to express appreciation to you and Cathy for sharing this difficult journey. Take care and we continue to ask God to give you strength to manage.
Praying for the love and peace of our Merciful God to fill your hearts and minds during these days.
Having “the talk” is one of the hardest and easiest things to go through when a loved one is suffering. Sending love, prayers and hugs. There is a special place reserved for Dr. Schanzer in heaven.
Sending prayers for a peaceful transition from this life to the next
You all have been doing n my mind & in my prayers this wk. I knew the time must be getting close.
No words, only support 💕
May the peace that passes understanding guard your hearts and minds. May you be held like children in the arms of Jesus!
Love and prayers to both of you! Heaven is ready for another dear Angel 🙏
So sorry for you and Cathy, but so hopeful that soon she will be with Jesus discussing the next need for the Serabu mission and how is she going to comfort you and send you graces.
Lifting you both up in prayer. Cathy’s legacy will live on in the many who have been blessed to know her. Her words of wisdom I impart of my student doctors thus her impact on this side of Heaven will most definitely live on. May peace and love envelope you both as you prepare your hearts.
Praying for you and Cathy as she transitions from this earth. Cathy sure did fight this horrible cancer and you were always by her side.
Words alone cannot express how sad we feel as Cathy approaches the end of this arduous journey. We pray our Lord will take her by the hand and show her what her efforts have done to make this world a better place. God Bless you and Tom, stay strong.
You and Cathy are teaching us the joy and sorrow that comes at the end of our earthly journey. We pray for both of you and we ask Mary to hold you as she held her son. You are loved by your friends on earth but so much more by our heavenly Father.
Sending love
i say a rosary for you at each morning before the 6:15 mass..know that I pray for you Tom also.
In this difficult time I pray that the God Almighty gives you strength to continue supporting our beloved mother Cathy. I covered Cathy with blood of Jesus Christ.
To give is to receive. Cathy has given so much and now she is ready to receive her just rewards in heaven. God bless you Tom as Cathy journeys to a better place.
Cathy and Tom, you are in our hearts and prayers. May God continue to hold you in the palm of his hand as you walk together in grace and dignity.
You both have touch so many lives, may peace and comfort surround you. Both of you will remain in my prayers. May God bless.
