I loved the post which simply stated, "Goodnight JudyB1938". Very nice.
Thank you everyone for your prayers and support. I was really low yesterday after reading this forum and mom's website but I feel so much better tonight. Prayer is strongest offense and defense we have in this life. Thank you.
This is the latest email from my sister concerning mom:
mom has been extubated now. i dont know how long she will be with us still. she is breathing pretty comfortably. she is getting pain control. everyone here is doing as well as can be expected. kerr is staying by mom's bedside continuously through this passing on. talked with uncle john, uncle paul and aunt annie last night. uncle paul is getting knee surgery monday.
i am so enjoying spending time with Jodie, just wish it wasnt under such circumstances.
i am taking off work next week, also.
thanks so much for all your concern and prayers,
dana
Pray that she will pass quickly. She had no desire whatsoever to linger on. There is absolutely no hope for a recovery since she is "brain dead" from hypoxia. The electroencephalogram shows no brain activity.
Life is often wearisome to many. This was often the case with mom although she did have a zest for life. She will be more than content to look full into the wonderful countenance of Jesus, Himself!
Visiting the place in Arkansas will no longer be the same. I will continue to fix the place up in mom's honor. She had lots of great ideas for the place and no greater homage could be given than to continue to work towards her vision.
Mom did alot of work around the place herself by terracing the hillside. Imagine a sixty + woman lugging and hauling large slabs of sandstone and stacking them for reinforcement and then backfilling it with dirt. Talk about stamina! She had always told me that she was doing it for me to leave something of herself behind. Thank you mom. In many ways you shined above all other mothers!
In retrospect, mom had lots of foresite for her children when she died. Her words to me, et al, on her website was/is healing. She was a wise lady and a special mom. Whatever I had done for her in the past was never a burdon. I did for her in joy with no self-congratulations. I am especially thankful now that I had that opportunity.
Please continue to pray for my family, especially for my brother, Vincent. She treated mom poorly and will probably be racked with guilt. He faces the possibility of suicide once he has idle time to ponder events. Pray for comfort and strength on his behalf.
Thank you for all of the kind words given me and given to mom!
You are all a great bunch!

Thanks for sharing that with us ....
Thank You and Salem for giving us a glimpse of your mother.
I didn't know her but spent time on her website today. She kept it "real" and she was beautiful. May you cherish her memories and keep her lessons close.
Thank you for sharing your lovely Mother with us. I send prayers for you and your family. We are with you in spirit.
Take care.
thank you Victor for sharing this, please let us know when she does go. I am praying for you all. Jean
God bless you and the soul of JudyB1938. May her passing go easily into that great glory. Amen!
Prayers for comfort for your whole family.
This time is very difficult, I'm reminded of the wait when my own mom was passing... It was not long, but it felt like it at the time. Time stood still.
May you and your mom have peace.
