Lonna,
We have not known each other very long, probably about 2 1/2 years or so. But I feel like I've known you forever. You are such a sweet, caring and beautiful person inside and out. You love unconditionally. Your love for Halle, Sandy and your whole Family is so strong. Halle is such a bright and mature young woman and your Mother is so special to me. I love you all so much. Lonna, when I met you for the first time at church you were always such a joy to talk to. If my day was not calm, you always have a way of making me feel at eaze with your soft spoken words. You are truly an angel in my world. Thank you so much for always being so kind and loving to me and my Family. This world is so much better because of you. You just don't know how many people love you and how many lives you are touching every day. You will keep touching all of our lives because we need you and we are all praying for a Great Miracle for You. God is so Good and His Mercy does Endure Forever.
Lonna, you are such a Godly Woman and God has so many things in store for you and Halle. You will stand strong in the Lord and the Power of His Might. Lonna, you do know All Things are possible with God. God is always with us and He will Never Forsake us. He is a God of Healing and Mighty Miracles. Praise God for His Goodness and Grace for all of His Children. His Loving arms are always around us. How awesome is that?
My Family and I are so happy your day was better today after getting some needed rest. Keep resting while God is doing His Mighty Healing Miracle for you.
All of Our Love and Continued Prayers,
In His Name,
Hilda, Steve, Brian, Jillian and Mama (Nanny)
( Lonna's Church Family )
In December 2007, Lonna had hysterectomy and shortly afterward became ill with what the doctors believe was pneumonia and then MAC disease. With further tissue samples and testing she was diagnosed on May 9th with lung cancer. Three days later, she was admitted into the hospital with stage 4 Malignant Adeno Carcinoma. The doctors feel that chemotherapy is the only way to slow down this aggressive, fast-growing cancer.
The family is still holding on to the fact that there are miracles that happen every day. We are all fervently praying that Lonna Dee Keeth will be God's next miracle. This cancer has gripped her so unbelievably fast. On May 14th, the doctor put a medaport in Lonna's chest for her impending chemo therapy treatment. They no longer got Lonna out of surgery before the doctors wheeled her right back in for emergency surgery. Her lungs and her heart had life threatening fluid build up that had to be removed. On May 15th and 16th she layed in ICU starting to recover. At 10pm on the May 16th she had her first dose of chemo.
Today, May 17th, is a new day and we still have Lonna with us. Lonna is going to fight! Please fight with us! We need more angels like Lonna to continue walking amongst us. Lonna has a 12 year daughter named Halle Keeth, she is so beautiful just like her mother. Some of you might remember her from our inflight training video, she was the little unaccompanied minor that looked up at the flight attendant and had that one line, (don't talk to my mom that way), but she did say it perfectly. Most of Lonna's family are Continental employees in one facet or another. Her mother, Sandra Hayes, is a HTA flight attendant and her stepfather Dennis Baraga (Buzz) is in reservations. Lonna's Aunt Janet Shelton is a flight attendant and her Uncle Rob Shelton is a pilot.
From the beginning Continental Airlines has been so supportive to our entire family, we will forever be so grateful for all their kindness. Lonna has so many dear friends who are praying for her, loving her, and missing her. The family is asking all of you to please hold Lonnna Dee Keeth up in your prayers. People all over the world are praying for Lonna right now please join us in our prayers. Through this blog we will try to keep everyone updated frequently as we all go through this uncharted journey.
