Sad news 10 days before Christmas....

I had asked everyone to pray for my BF's father who was very sick with esophageal cancer. I just got a call from one of my other friends and her SIL that today he passed away. I feel so bad for my friend. She is his only child and her mother is not taking it well at all. I haven't even been able to talk to her since she is at the hospital. I can't believe this has happened. I have known this man since I was in 9th grade
