Mae was clearly spared from death by starvation thanks to Terri Schiavo. When the Georgia woman recovered from her starvation/dehydration attempt, she was speaking and happy to be alive.
THIS from an older thread at the time...
"I visited with Sister Mae last evening, and she looks so much better now," Ruth Mullinax said. "Mae opened her eyes and when she saw me said, 'Where you been, Lonnie?'"
"I asked her how she felt and she whispered, 'I can't buck dance.'"
"So I stayed with her for 30 minutes, and when I got ready to leave she grabbed my hand and said, 'Bring me a brown sack and take me home.' That was a saying of Momma's that means pack up my stuff. I am so thankful to the Lord that Sister is doing so well now."
