This site is dedicated to our Mom, Ruth. She was diagnosed with a very rare form of terminal cancer called Mesothelioma in August of 2008. She passed away peacefully on October 5th, 2009.

She is the incredible mother of 10 children and has 32 grandchildren. Through her example and love we have become a family with very strong ties. Her faith and love of the Lord shine through in all that she does. She is a light to everyone who knows her.

Please feel free to send your thoughts, feelings, or stories to heidi.wilson@cox.net or kbennion@cox.net and we will post them here for you as a memorial to Mom.

MIRACLE AFTER MIRACLE!!

Tests results today showed, again, no spread of the tumors, in the in fact one of the lymph nodes near my heart has completely resolved (lymph nodes are notorious for carrying the cancer cells to other places in the body) and tumors in the left pleural space are diminished. The larger tumors near the diaphragm remain confined to the pleural space and have not increased in size and nothing has spread to the lung. These are miraculous results due to your faith and prayers and the power of priesthood blessings. I am forever in your debt as friends and family for making this extension of my life possible. I am amazed at the love that the Savior offers me and testify of his goodness and mercy and healing power. "He lives to comfort me when faint, He lives to hear my soul's complaint, He lives to silence all my fears, He lives to wipe away my tears, He lives and grants me daily breath, He lives and I shall conquer death! "

As I was reading scriptures the other day, I ran across this one in Isaiah 9:2:

"The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light, they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined." His light has surely shined on me!

I thank all of my 'heaven sent' angels for allowing me to be part of your lives and to be worthy of your faith and prayers. Thank heaven that miracles still exist on the earth today !

We move on with more chemo treatments in three weeks - had the 8th one today. I am also looking into other treatments at other facilities - we've heard of some other things being done for this type of cancer! In the meantime I'm taking two weeks for vacation from this endless cycle and going to visit my kids in Colorado!
