One of my high school classmates has cancer - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Please pray for Jeff, who I've known since nursery school and went through K-12 with. He was diagnosed with cancer (I don't know which kind) and a bunch of us from the class of 1998 are meeting next week for a benefit dinner. I'm just stunned - he is only 30 (6 days younger than me, to be exact). His mom was often a "room mother" for us. First Deanna, and now this news. I will keep everyone posted.

I will pray for your friend, Monika. By the way, when did you turn 30?
