Aww, thank you so much for your prayers! I am amazed as I look back on the last 8 months that I spent with Alice. She was hospitalized in March with pneumonia & after weeks of tests, she learned that she had kidney failure, blood infection & liver failure.  Years of addiction had caught up & now she had to be still. God is amazing and knew how to draw her back.  By July she began to understand & accept that her days were short. She wanted a Bible & was praying. God gave her another gift…. reconciliation with her daughters & family.  By September, it was obvious that she wasn’t getting better. She loves Halloween (that’s her favorite holiday)…. She knew that while in the nursing home she was only surviving & made the decision to go home to celebrate Halloween.  Her daughter & I had a great time with her! I haven’t been trick or treating in a long time! She struggled with lots of pain, getting around in a wheelchair & the small thing...

Monday, 11/22/2021 It’s with a heavy heart that I must let you know that Alice just passed away this morning at 1:02am. After a long battle she has found rest & peace!  Those are the things that she longed for. We love you Alice! Yup I went to Huntington Memorial and had 5 mins with her as her heart was slowing down.  She passed peacefully & was not alone (the one fear she had). She was admitted at 11pm because of the internal bleeding from the cancer. Her heart stopped & they performed CPR to bring her back. They called & asked what to do the next time her heart stopped. Of course, it was her directive to DNR. I went to be with her as they advised that her body was in shock & her heart would stop again. I was able to get there on time. I told her that it was okay to let go.  That it was time for her to go home.  In her coma state, I’m sure she could hear, so I kissed her, cried, and watched her quietly pass.  No fuss, no pain.. she peacefull...
