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!

My sympathies are with you and peace for your sister in heaven. May she watch out on all of us and give a good word or 2 about us on Earth up there. I am sure she is. God Bless and take care.

I don’t know where to begin. There have been so many wonderful, dear messages and I cannot possibly reply to each one individually --- so I must post this one message for all of you! I have read every word and viewed every image, and each and every comment is precious to me beyond what I could ever hope to convey!

Many of you have been praying for my sister Donna, for the family and for me since last May all the way through her memorial service last Saturday!

Your prayers have been abundantly answered! My sister had two beautiful, happy and energetic months with her family and friends and associates. Everyone had just exactly the time they needed to say what they needed to say and to prepare for her homegoing.

Her journey home was full of grace and mercy. I never sensed a moment of fear or dread from her as she dealt with each progessively worse prognosis. Perhaps the rapid, stair-stepping decline actually helped the family to cope. We were able to release her spirit with joy!

The memorial services were correctly titled a “celebration of Donna Schunk’s life and faith!” The pastor affectionately recalled her life here on earth and reassured the congregation of the wonders she now enjoys in eternity. It was beautiful!

I look forward to being with Donna in eternity – and it will be my distinct honor to introduce her to y’all when you get there too. I know you’ll love her!

And please don’t worry about me!

The emptiness has been filled with His own presence and now every time I think of my sister, I think of Jesus. There are no fractures or weak spots in my heart. He has healed them all! PRAISE GOD!!! for this miracle --- which I am very sure is another direct answer to your collective prayers and blessings!

This is true strength, and heroism. Our enemies will find the most valuable secrets not in Los Alamos, but in the hearts of the faithful. Hugs.

Your words remind me of those used at the national service following the 9/11 tragedy: we live by faith and not by sight! PRAISE GOD!!!

Thank you sooo very much, Ragtime Cowgirl!
