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!

Dear Alamo-Girl, words seem so empty as you embrace this loss and this gain -- knowing your sister is in Glory.

I pray that her service will be the most peaceful, soothing, comforting thing imaginable; for God's holy angels to attend to every person's needs, and that many more will come to know the God who holds your sister now, as a result of the celebration of her life and graduation. I am so glad you have the blessed assurance of the separation being temporary! May the good Lord bless you to overflowing with His comfort.
