Coach Granger Fourth Quarter Strong

Happy, heavenly birthday my love! I miss you every minute of everyday! ❤️

I wonder if we’ll celebrate our “born again” day in heaven instead of birthdays?! It’s absolutely the most important day! Your faith is now sight!

It's been two months since I lost my husband, my best friend, my everything. I heard a story of a preacher who once said about his deceased wife, how can my wife be lost, when I know where she is?! I know where Coach is, he's home with his Heavenly Father reunited with family and friends that went before him. It's still hard, I feel lost, I miss him so much.

A big "Thank you" to everyone who attended his memorial service. "Thank you" to those of you who sent beautiful flowers and plants, prepared meals and contributed to various ministries in his memory. Unfortunately, I don't have addresses for all of you but please accept my thanks in this post. Your kind words and the memories you share bring comfort and peace.

A quick word to Jerome Turner, the flowers were lovely, your note was beautiful, it made me cry in a good way. Thank you!

Hi friends, please see the obituary for Coach for date and time of his Memorial Service.

Obituary for William Eugene Granger, Jr. | Magnolia Cremations & Funeral Services Share memories & support the family

Sweet friends, Coach left this earth to meet his Lord and Savior today at 130pm. We are sad but filled with joy that he is now healed.

The Bible tells us in 2 Corinthians 5:8 Yes, we are fully confident, and we would rather be away from these earthly bodies, for then will be at home with the Lord. NLT

I will update the page with the date and time of Coach's memorial service. Love to all. Thank you for traveling this road with us. We were strengthened by your prayers.

Good morning friends, we have been overwhelmed by your comments, commitment to pray for us, cards, visits, texts and phone calls! Coach has passed the point where he is able to read or respond to your kind words but I want you to know I've read everyone of them to him. I know he hears me. By all accounts it appears we are wrapping up this fourth quarter. We are surrounded by family and supported by friends. Even strangers, who are now friends, have come along beside us praying and offering to help any way they can. Most important, we know God is near to us. We are leaning on Him during this difficult time. A dear friend sent the following word to me and I love it so much! Praise Him!

Hello friends and prayer warriors. Coach suffered a significant decline in his health this week. Hospice has been called in to help us on this journey. He is in good spirits and when I asked him what he wanted to say he said, ask our friends to pray for you ( love this man!) and let everyone know that even though we don't know the future, we know Who holds the future. In Coach's words, remember to always PRAISE HIM!

Hello friends and prayer partners. I wanted to update you on Coach's battle. At our last doc visit approximately 3 weeks ago, we were told there were no futher treatment options available for his type of cancer. He's lost vision in his right eye, there is swelling and the bone scan revealed there is something going on around the sinus cavity. Doc says time is not our friend, however we know God has the final word!

GRIND- HOPE
Friends, although this news appears devastating, for those of us who know and follow Jesus it doesn't have the same sting. Our Hope is and has always been in Him." O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory." 1 Corinthians 15:55. We continue to pray everyday for complete healing. We know God is still in the miracle business! Should he choose not to heal me on this side of heaven, I will stand before Jesus completely healed on that day. Thank you for your continued prayers as Cyndy (retired!) and I enjoy our time together. We love you and we're blessed by your prayers, kind words and gifts. And always remember to PRAISE HIM!

God's Revival Is New Daily

The Granger's have had a pretty tough week. Monday a week ago Cyndy tested positive for Covid. Last Friday it was my turn. I tested positive as well.
Thank the Lord Cyndy is doing much better and was able to return to her normal routine today. Thankfully l am also doing better. During my struggles with the virus, something amazing was taking place. God revealed His great love for me.
From Covid my throat, head and back have really been painful. Also during my battle with cancer l have dealt with constant pain in my hip, thigh, knee and shoulders. I am admitting to all of you that l had a poor pitiful me moment and got a little down, fearing having to deal with all this together.
Well l pulled myself together and pleaded to our Father for help. He heard me and boy did He show up!! While l had to deal with all the symptoms related to Covid, God removed all pain related issues from cancer.
Our Father's goodness never fails. He meets us where we are and shows us His great love for us. Take your struggles to Jesus. Let Him do for you what brings Him much joy. I have seen it first hand. Oh what a mighty God we serve.
PRAISE HIM!!

Oh my! Sitting here in the Cancer Center weeping ( and lookin a little crazy, I'm not gonna lie!) over the beautiful comments from sweet friends and family. We are so blessed.

I did it! I turned in my retirement papers this morning while Coach was getting chemo! Am I ready? I don't know, I'm still young and I enjoy working. BUT...I am so ready to spend every minute with the love of my life for how ever long God allows either one of us. Today has been a tough day so far. So much pain and weakness. PSA refuses to come down and has doubled since our last post. We are tired but God's mercies are new every morning! I hear Coach continually, day and night when it's the darkest, praising God and thanking Him for Jesus and His goodness. He is our Living Hope. Rejoice always, pray without ceasing and give thanks in all circumstances! Thank you for praying with us. To God be the glory!
