RIP to d fine gentleman

Too bad. Hope he finds eternal rest wherever he goes from here.

May GOd never give us any disorder in our blood-forming tissue to the extend that large numbers of abnormal blood cells will be produced and
entered into our bloodstream. Whatever kinda cancer the man suffered from, may God never allow any form of cancer be our proportion. Amen

not every kinda cancer is heredity. I don't think the myeloid leukemia is a heredity one.. The man might possible have suffered from it since he is a aide. Heard is a bone-narrow something or a thing like that. Don't know much about medicine or stuffs like this though

RIP
