    Jennifer Cooper Gravley passed away peacefully on the morning of Saturday, February 10th at age 54 after a long and courageous battle with stage 4 colon cancer. She went into eternal glory with her dear husband of nearly 32 years by her side. She joins her precious momma and daddy, along with Anthony’s parents.
    My husband Brian and I had the fortune of becoming close friends with Anthony and Jennifer over the past 5 years. As we came to know their amazing love story, and the stories of their parents, we felt blessed to have such an amazing example of love in our lives.
    They met in college when Anthony was 18 and Jennifer was 21. They married in 1992 and created a beautiful family together - 3 amazing sons and now a daughter-in-law and precious grandbaby who just turned one. Over the years, they have given so much of themselves to take care of others. As caregivers for their parents, they selflessly set aside their own lives to ensure they received the best care possible. As a teacher, Jennifer helped shape the lives of so many students throughout the years.
    We have witnessed so much loss in the Gravley/Cooper family, as all four of their parents passed over a very short time period from 2020 - 2022. But one thing we have not witnessed is a loss of spirit or faith in our Lord and Savior. Even as Jennifer was handed a life altering diagnosis of stage 4 colon cancer in August of 2022, it did not break their faith. Jennifer immediately started her fight with an aggressive treatment plan. And not ONE time did anyone hear her complain or question why this was happening to her. She faced this battle more courageously and determined than anyone I’ve ever met.
    I know one of her wishes would be that her family is taken care of, and unfortunately along with so much loss, there has been a lot of financial burden on this beautiful family. Both Jennifer and Anthony had to step down from their teaching jobs to focus on her declining health and aggressive chemotherapy treatment plan. Due to the kindness and generosity of their friends and family, they were able to get through the last year and a half with the help of donations from another GoFundMe. They will be closing that campaign as we launch this one (www.gofundme.com/f/the-gravle...) and thank everyone for the continued support.
    I wanted to start this new fundraiser as the family enters this next chapter. We would love it if you could help us honor Jennifer’s memory. I understand that not everyone will be in a position to give - but honestly every dollar helps - and if you are unable to give, please just keep them in your prayers as they try to figure out life without their precious momma, wife and NanNan.
    Funds will go directly to support the family with any needs they have including:
    * Funeral Expenses (estimated between $5,000 - $10,000)
    * Remaining Medical Expenses
    * Support as Anthony transitions from full-time caregiver
    Thank you for helping us bless this family, and please keep them in your prayers as the most difficult of days are still ahead.

      My daughter, 44, is currently fighting what we suspect is ovarian cancer.The definitive biopsy cannot be done locally, she is in too much pain to travel. Her GPs won't increase her meds as they are ignorant, thoughtless and not aware of pain protocol. She has a 15 year old son who is one of her carers.Its killing her and us. Amazing to hear survivor stories. Bless all in the cancer community. Sincere condolences to your friend's family. She will be missed. From Australia.

    The hospice nurses on RUclips have said that when a person is dying they have a period where they suddenly become very lucid and awake and engage with their family before a downturn. I am so glad you were able to get there safely and stay for that time, and uplift her, sharing Elsie with her. In the pictures you showed she looks so happy to just see Elsie and hold her tiny hand. Your lives are enriched through having known her, and you have shared that with us. Thank you. RIP Jennifer

      That's exactly what happened to my Uncle. He was in the hospital, at the end stages of throat cancer. The very day before he died. He wanted my father to get him dressed because he wanted to go home. He had just turned 60. That was in 2004. Three years later, in 2007, I had a very vivid dream. I was walking down the corridor of an unfamiliar hospital. All of a sudden, my Uncle came walking through a door to my right. I was shocked. I said, "Uncle Ross, I thought you were dead"! He had the hospital gown on that he was wearing when he passed, but he didn't have his trach in, and he could talk clearly. He said, "I am, it's not me, it's your Aunt Sharon". He took me back the way I had come from. He showed me a room, where my Aunt was laying in bed. I woke up thinking, "That was very strange and very real. I said nothing to my father. About a week later, my Dad said to me, "Your Aunt Sharon might be in a bit of trouble. The doctors think she is full of cancer. Three weeks later, she passed. I know that was a visit from my Uncle. It still sends shivers down my spine when I think of it, but I know that it is also proof that there is life after death.

Then my best friend of 27 yrs was staying at my house for the holidays and didn't come out of the room one day, so my husband went to check on her and found her dead in there. That was Jan 5th. She was also 54 yrs old. I am beyond devestated, and I don't know how I'm going to get through all this loss, Im broken!!! 😢💔

      I like you had been friends for almost 30 years with them all.

      It is silly things a smell of perfume or a song while driving or cooking tea.

      My niece’s husband had been battling stage IV lung cancer, and four months after we found that out my niece’s brother was diagnosed with stage IV pancreatic cancer…
      My nieces husband got stage four lung cancer. I was searching info about it and came across Jenny Apple’s channel. She had stage four lung. It’s just seems like so many people are showing up with cancer in the past year-ish. I’m so very sorry to know that it hit you, too. 😢
      We assume that one of those two fellas who are in their 50s both of them would likely succumb to their illness and that would be the next family member we lost ….
      But no. My son crashed on Christmas Day, and died for six days after that. He was an organ donor, so it was part of what went on during those days after.
      I agree cancer is a beast. my nieces husband ran out of his cobra insurance and was uninsured the last three months of 2023. He had to stop all of his treatment. He’s back on insurance now he was able to get on my nieces insurance at the beginning of the year. Ugh. So much wrong with so many things. Take care.❤

    I had a colonoscopy last autumn. The hardest thing was the fasting and liquids and drinking the stuff on schedule that cleans out your insides. They give you anesthetic, you know nothing, and there's no pain afterward. You'll just need a reliable ride home. I got a good result: one lone polyp removed with no problems and a clear biopsy.. I join with Jessica and Brian and encourage everyone to go ahead and get checked. Most of us will be okay. Some of us will need to take steps but first we have to know!

      The prep is the easiest part. I do it many times even when I'm not having a colonoscopy to alleviate symptoms and keep me from ending up in the ER again. I don't understand why people find the prep so difficult. Miralax can be put in any light colored drink and magnesium citrate comes in colorless tasty flavors - grape, cherry, etc.

      @1234cheerful 4 месяца назад

      @k9khodi363 I don't know what condition you are dealing with, but most people don't have to routinely alleviate symptoms that might put them in the ER! Unless they are dealing with an ED, which I don't get any vibe you are at risk of, you are just comfortable with the process and it works for you. If you are doing the protocol often, every few months or so, it would be a familiar habit. For me it was once, and then they'll see me in 3 years, so it was weird. I hope you are able to stay out of the ER however you need to manage it!

    I am so sorry for the loss of your sweet friend, Jennifer. My sister is a cancer survivor, My sister was given 3 months to live. She's battled cancer survivor feelings as she lost both her friends, a husband and wife, and a couple of friends to my sister and brother-in-law. This friend was like a sister to my sister. My brother-in-law has been the father who has walked their friends' children down the aisle when they got married. I will be praying for you all. Also will be praying for Anthony and his children and all those who knew Jennifer. Lord Jesus, we asked that you would pour out your comfort and strength during this time. In the many days ahead. Also we lift up any need that Anthony and his family need be met in the name of Jesus.

I have been praying for her and will continue to pray for her husband, children, family, and all of you. I am a colorectal cancer survivor of 20 years now.

    I am so truly sorry for your loss. I know the pain of loss and between 2020 - 2022 I lost my dad, mom, aunt, and one of my sister-in-laws. I lost a son some years ago to a driver under the influence. Sometimes it feels so unreal and unbearable. I am sorry I cannot donate I am barely making it month to month but know if I could I would. I will pray for all of you and I will remember to be kind even when I do not feel like it. God bless and keep you all! ❤🙏❤️

    I’m so sorry for yours and her families life. Last year I was diagnosed with stage 3c colon cancer with a 8.2cm tumor in my ascending colon with 3 spores near the tumor and 14/29 lymph nodes and a pre cancerous polyp in my transverse colon and a precancerous polyp in the descending colon at 57. I had no symptoms. Being plant based for 7yrs I was not constipated, no weight loss, no bleeding etc. But I knew I was off. So Yes. Push your Dr. or Listen to your Dr’s recommendation. And do your preventative healthcare tests. Doing 1 colonoscopy is so insignificant compared to the alternative. Not to mention cost. As you also know. Sending much love to you all during this time of grief.

    I can't fathom what they went through in such a short period and then to face into a battle for Jennifer's life. I can't fathom that. I lost my dad to dementia last year and that's hard enough. And now Anthony has lost his beautiful life too. He is going to need alot of support. What a lovely tribute. RIP Jenifer . I can't fathom either that people suffering so much loss in their lives are left with a high financial burden! My dad's medical care(hospital for 3 months prior to his death) has zero cost and his funeral cost 7 thousand, paid for by himself. I think it's terrible that families are left with those costs.

    Even though I could never give financially I often checked their go fund me for news.
