Many of us did n't like the fried oysters or the oyster stew , but this chili was a hit . I was given the recipe , and I ' ve enjoyed using it . In 2006 , after we had served in our current church for about a year and a half , my father - in - law was diagnosed with an aggressive form of brain cancer that would soon take his life .

What may happen after my dad was diagnosed ?
The church prayed for him until he died .
