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!

I know you know these verses, but they are so appropriate right now ... 1 Thessalonians 4:13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that you sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

My thoughts are with you. You know that this separation is only temporary, but I know you will miss your sister. May God continue to bless you and comfort you.

I didn't know, God bless her.

Alamo-Girl posted her note on 9/18 which was missed because of the same news I received about my wife while in the hospital that day.

Our grief knows no bounds...

[GretchenEE]

The Lord bless, comfort, give you peace, and keep you, and family!

Dear Alamo-Girl,

"How does one become a butterfly?"
she asked pensively.
"You must want to fly so much that you
are willing to give up being a caterpillar."
"You mean to die?" asked Yellow...
"Yes and no," he answered.
What looks like you will die,
but what's really you will live."
