Update on Harry J Horsman

Blog Posted:4/17/2023 2:41:00 AM

Hi, friends, Harry did ask me to keep you updated when it was necessary and gave me access to his mail so I know some of you are beginning to mail him. I have been waiting on his family for info. Harry's treatment was withdrawn over a week ago and they are making him comfortable, he is now in Hospice care. He was at his happiest here on soup and so proud to have his name on our books together gives him the biggest boost. All I can say now is I will update you when I can as now I have to rely on his family for news and they obviously have their own feelings to deal with. Mandy.

Thanks Mandy As Harry knew I am afflicted with the same condition only not up to stage 4 as he is. I have been praying that he wont suffer too long. I wrote a poem about an Aussie Horseman but not sure that he up to hearing poetry, so I wont bother Emailing it. There are a lot of people here whose thoughts and prayers are about Harry.
