With great sadness I had to say "I'll see you later mom" on January 9, at 3:33pm. The dr's discovered that mom had pneumonia, and even with all the antiobics known to man, and having her rest on life support, she was not able to get better. The Dr's told us on Friday that it was time to let her go. They turned down the ventilator and mom breathed for 33 minutes. She was aware of what was happening, fought it at first, shaking her head no and trying to get out of bed, but after our pastor spoke with her and told her to go to sleep and if God was calling her home she would wake up and see Jesus, but if it was not her time or day, she would wake up to see us. Either way she would be at peace. I helped to calm her down and then she reached over and gave me a big hug. With my dad, her 2 sisters, my husband, our pastor, a family friend,
and me, holding on to her, she went to sleep and passed away without pain. I sang "forever and ever amen to her and when I was finished, her heart stopped. I am so very blessed to have had this time to be with her. The visitation and funeral are tomorrow and Tuesday. I find myself still in shock, disbelief that she is gone, cuz she doesn't feel gone, I feel her with me, I see her in my son, myself and her sisters and in 100's of pictures. Please pray for strength for us, and thank you soooo much for all your support.
Grateful Deanna
