This is niece Jennifer Lynne Miles' high school graduation photo.
This morning, at 12:20 am she passed away at Life Care Center of Cape Girardeau. She had one kidney removed several years ago and for some time had trouble with the remaining kidney, which was finally removed in August. At that time they found Cancer around that last kidney as well as in the liver, and lungs. It was stated it was in stage 4. She was having much back and leg pain and after receiving dialysis for a month or so was finally hospitalized and tests showed cancer in the back; the tumor had cracked a vertebrae and was causing pressure on the spinal cord giving much pain. She was hospitalized at that time and given some radiation to try to shrink the tumor away from the pressure points.
She was advised there was nothing that could be done except to help her be comfortable as possible. She finally quit dialysis 10 days ago and was put on hospice this last week, being moved from the hospital to the care center.
Our daughter, Michelle, came from near Columbus, OH about 2 weeks ago and has spent most of her time with Jenn. The last couple nights someone stayed throughout the night. She was in quite distress the last three hours of her life with her dad, Don Miles, Michelle, Phyllis, myself and a close friend Marcie Ridenour at her bedside and trying to ease her pain and fear. Over the last couple weeks she has had literally hunderds of friends calling on her.
A memorial service for Jenn Miles will be held at Ford & Sons Funeral Homes,
1001 N Mt Auburn Rd,
Cape Girardeau, MO 63701 at 6:00 pm
Friday, December 2, 2016.
We will stay here in Cape Girardeau until Saturday when we will go north to Iowa, stopping at our home in Clarinda briefly to pick up some shop items to take them to our place in Texas.
Later, Lynn
