At 2:45am after a day of sedation. Yesterday morning at 9:45 AM because of the pain, and she was put on a pain pump so she could self-administer as needed. Each day since her Sunday hospital admittance there was noticeable swelling from the cancer. The pressure finally made it too hard to breathe.
I am so grateful that she only had to endure this for a day, and that she is now with our Lord. To the very last she was a gracious, sweet spirit. We are going to miss her a lot, but will see her again with our Savior.
God provided answers to your prayers throughout this struggle. Even last night we could see those answers, when Teresa (Marge’s sister) unexpectedly arrived at the hospital just when I needed someone most. (We were both with Marge through the night.) As well as answered by a special angel in the form of Kathy a nurse’s aide who has helped Marge several times before, a dear Christian who cared for Marge as a sister would, not just a patient. A blessing in the form of our pastor, Scott, and friend Jim, who showed up at separate times around 11:00pm to pray for Marge.
Thanks so much for your prayers. The girl I sold my Bach trumpet for in 1969 to buy an engagement ring is no longer in the house. She’s graduated.

(We will plan the services today. I will let you know our plans as soon as we can sort them out.)

Jim, I'm so very sorry to hear this. Marge was a sweet lady, thankful she isn't suffering anymore and is home with our Lord. Praying for you and your family at this time of your loss. May God comfort your hearts. Janet
ReplyDeleteJim,
ReplyDeleteI just learned of Marge's passing at church Sunday. I am so sorry for your and your family's loss-she was such a wonderful person and she will be dearly missed at church. Keeping your family in my thoughts and prayers for peace and comfort.
