This post will be short-but I just wanted to let you all know that my love finally received his healing. He is in heaven now with our Lord and running, breathing and enjoying paradise. THANK YOU LORD. Please keep our sweet girls in your prayers, as well as all of our family. We will miss Marcus so much, but we thank God for not letting him suffer anymore on this earth.
Visitation will be Saturday from 5-8pm at Broussard's Mortuary, 490 Cemetery Road, Silsbee, TX and the funeral will be Monday at 10 am at Golden Triangle Church on the Rock, 6355 Hwy 69 S, Beaumont, TX.
Marcus wanted to make sure that everyone that prayed for his healing would not be discouraged if he did not receive his healing on earth-he accepted long ago that God's will would be done with this battle and he was at peace with that. Please continue to seek God, and make sure you are saved so that you can see Marcus again one day. My girls and I will always seek God, never blame God and will trust in Him to get us through every step of this life. Marcus is our Guardian Angel now and we are happy knowing this.
Love you all.
my name is Mindy Stanley Anderson and i began this blog to share updates of my life-as the wife of a melanoma warrior. my husband Marcus lost his battle April 1, 2010. i will continue to blog here in his honor, in hopes that i can help other families during their time of struggle. all glory goes to God-we would not be where we are without his help-with him we can do ANYTHING!
OUR FAMILY
LEARN THE ABCDEF'S OF MELANOMA!!! EARLY DETECTION IS THE KEY!
- ASYMMETRY: Does half of the mole look different from the other half?
- BORDER: Is the border of the mole irregular or ill defined?
- COLOR: Is the color uneven or has it changed over time?
- DIAMETER: Is the mole larger than a pencil eraser?
- ELEVATION: Has the surface of the mole changed? If it was smooth and flat before, is it now elevated ?
- FEELING: Has the sensation around the mole changed? Does it itch? Is it painful?
- PLEASE DO A SKIN EXAM EVERY MONTH AND WATCH FOR THESE SIGNS.
Learn more about Melanoma and share the knowledge with others

Mindy... I don't know what to say. I rejoice in his healing but my heart just aches for you.
How beautiful for Marcus that he gets to celebrate our Risen Savior who DEFEATED DEATH in His presence this Easter. But you and your girls' healing is still a long way off. Cling to the God of the brokenhearted. I cry out to Him on your behalf tonight.
My heart is with you and your girls tonight Mindy. Several weeks ago I ran across your page and read about your faith, hope and strength. I lost my mother last March to Melanoma and through faith in God I have more good days then bad. My kids are also praying for your daughters. God bless your family. Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
Dearest Mindy,
I am speechless. I am so very sorry for your loss. But your faith in God, is going to get you through. God will carry you in his arms, he will mourn with you, and he will rejoice with you- for Marcus is in the sweet Heaven.
I lost my stepfather in November of 09', and the hurt lingers, but the fact that he is with the good Lord- makes me so very, very happy. I am praying for you and your family, and those sweet little girls. Sending you love from our family... we are all one.
Mindy, you were all warriors for the journey. I pray that God continues to wrap his arms around you and the girls bringing you peace and continued understanding. Your strength and faith have been a true inspiration for all. God works in mysterious ways.
I am so sorry for your loss. I have followed your blog for awhile now. Please know that your journey has brought me closer to God. I will continue to pray for you and your beautiful family.
I am so sory for your loss. I have been following your blog for a while now and I can't tell you enough how much you have helped me as my family struggles through my husband's treatment (stage III melanoma. Thank you for sharing your faith with me. I will be praying for you and your girls.
I am so happy that Marcus suffers no more but am terribly sad for you, his family, as you learn to live without him. I'll be praying for you all. I knew Marcus years ago when my family went to church with him and knew some of his family well. Bless you all!
I am new to your blog Mindy but am so grateful that I found you. Your strength and trust in God is amazing and a true guiding light for me. I too am grateful that Marcus is no longer in pain but know the loneliness that you feel. My brother died at 26 yo of melanoma and with God I got through it. My prayers are with all of your family.

Dear Mindy,
I am so sorry Marcus lost his fight with melanoma. Yet, it must bring you comfort knowing he is no longer suffering. Please know you, your girls and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Mindy
I'm very sorry for your loss. As a Christian, I have to say I'm deeply humbled by the strength of your faith. May God bring peace and happiness to your house. You and your family are in my prayers.

I am so sorry for your loss. I am also a melanoma widow, and our daughters were 8 and 11 and our son was 4 at the time. You were given the chance to show Marcus your unconditional and unselfish love in being able to let him go to bring him healing and peace. Melanoma can never hurt him again, and may the effects of melanoma in your life quickly heal so it does not continue to hurt you either. Brian has been gone since March 08, and many days I remind myself just what you said, that he is free of his suffering, and for that I am thankful. I am praying for you and the girls.
