[NFBC-Info] I'm sorry to report

Hi Lauren,

All our thoughts and prayers are with you. You are in God's hands, of course. I have seen miracles and I have heard of many more. We look forward to seeing you at the 2025 NFB National Convention and beyond.

My father-in-law always loved to give a toast I offer to you now:

"Here is to your coffin made out of 100 year-old oak which I may get around to planting tomorrow". So, we have high expectations for you. Stay strong mentally and keep moving forward.


Best Regards,


Michael Hingson

Hi, brother and sister Federationists,
A couple weeks ago I had a biopsy done on a very large lymph node and had scans.  The pathology labs showed that I have high-grade b-cell lymphoma and it has spread throughout my body, including my bloodstream.

I do not have the options for chemo or radiation since my heart and kidneys are too weak. I have opted for palliative care and/or hospice. This info and medical opinion is from a second oncology dr’s instructions and suggestions.

I’m sorry to inform you, but I have several months to live.

Love and blessings,
Lauren Merryfield❤
