To: ALL - Update on my sister

Thank all of you so very, very much for your prayers and blessings! I cannot find the words to express my gratitude!!!

Donna’s memorial service will be held this Saturday. Her heart stopped on Monday, October 1 at about 3:32 p.m. Her husband, daughter, son and I were right there for her final moments. PRAISE GOD!!!

Last Thursday at about 1:30 I was downstairs at the hospital with my nephew’s wife. I felt a warm rush go through me as if my sister was letting me know her spirit was free and she was happy, alive and well. We hurried back upstairs and discovered her body had slipped into a deep coma.

I had experienced that warm rush before. The evening before my mother’s heart stopped, just when she entered a deep coma – and previously when my former husband’s heart stopped while we were diving.

Praise God!!! for the blessed assurance of witnessing Donna’s graduation, both in spirit and in body! Every moment with Donna is a treasure to me and I Praise God!!! that this separation is only temporary!

Donna has chosen to go home to be with the LORD! My prayers are for those who grieve and will miss her so dearly! The LORD keep you Alamo-Girl and sustain you and your family.

[PatiPie]

My heartfelt sympathy to you, Donna's husband, her children, and your family on the loss of Donna.
Praise God she is with Jesus and the separation from her family is only temporary!

So we are always confident, knowing that while we are at home in the body we are absent from the Lord. For we walk by faith, not by sight. We are confident, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord. (2 Cor. 5:6-8) NKJV

Praise God Donna is walking by sight!!!

God's precious grace and strength be with you and your family.

[NotJustAnotherPrettyFace]

God be with you and your family. Know that Donna is now free of the pain here on Earth and is with Him in Heaven.

Our prayers are with you.
