Thank you for this thread Liberty Rocks..
Her last post on FB was on the night of March 27th as well. She shared that 6 deer came up to her back door, and that she would post a new photo album including the pictures soon. She was living each day to the fullest she was able!
She was also working on a long-term project of scanning all of her family pictures into albums for her children and grandchildren — as she said a “labor of love”.
It appears that early in the morning of the 28th she was brought to the hospital first thing in the morning (she reported feeling ill the night before in a comment to a friends’ post on FB as well — dizzy and such like Steve’s post mentioned).
The doctors thought she had had a heart attack when she first got to the hospital, but a later report at FB said that she had not had a heart attack (her arteries were clear and no sign of damage to the heart) but was still very, very sick and they didn’t know what was going on exactly — just that we were to pray her kidney was spared. She passed early in the afternoon just a few hours later. I’m going to make a guess here and say that the blood infection she was suffering from most likely finally just overtook her body.
Just wanted to share that as I know people were asking what happened at the end... That’s all I really know.
I know the last time I spoke with her she assured me she was not in much pain at all, and not to worry so much about her... She was such a brave, strong lady!
