I guess he is still hanging on. All I know is they took him home from the hospital because whatever treatment they were doing wasn't working. I will see if I can find out anything else.

This is part of the update I received, written by the daughter Maggie:

Quote:
My father had a brief rally over the weekend, but the outlook is still not good.

We think he will do better at home, so we made arrangements with hospice. They told us today that he is unable to have the next round of chemo, as the fungus will take too long to respond,so there really is no reason for him to stay at the hospital. The cancer is clearly back.

Please pray for the repose of the soul of Marc.

Quote:
11/2/10 Update from the family:

Very early this morning, the feast of All Souls, John's dad, Marc Berquist passed away. Laura and three of his children (Margaret, Theresa & Richard) were with him when he died. Last week all of Marc's children and grandchildren were able to be with him. He received the sacraments shortly before he died. Please pray for the repose of his soul and the consolation
and comfort of his family. Thank you.

God Bless,

Michaela Berquist

Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and may perpetual light shine upon him. May his soul and all the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
God, please comfort this family in their sorrow.

I just received notice of this tonight and found this note as published on the TAC website:

===========================

The College mourns the loss of one of its founders
and a senior tutor, Mr. Marcus Berquist.
After suffering for the past two months with lymphoma,
Mr. Berquist passed away at 2:00 a.m. on November 2, 2010,
the Feast of the Holy Souls,
as his family prayed the Rosary at his side.

Rosary - Friday, November 5, 2010 - 7:30 p.m.
Funeral Mass - Saturday, November 6, 2010 - 9:00 a.m.
Our Lady of the Most Holy Trinity Chapel
Thomas Aquinas College



=========================================

May God rest his soul on this feast of the Holy Souls, even though I am late getting this here.

Mary
