Update

Just thought I'd update you on a few things. First of all, Peggy is just holding her own but of course is in the dying process. The family put a CD player in her room playing some of the old time Gospel Hymns sung by the Gaithers. When that started playing, there was a peace that came over her face. Her passing is in God's Hands now and we as a family are there and supporting each other and her.

Second, I thought I'd tell you about another sad incident. Our Chris's wife, Leslie has a grandfather who Chris has become very close to. They have been best buds! A couple of weeks ago, "Gramps" as they call him had to go in and have a 7 bypass heart surgery. He is on our prayer list. Mr. Endsley. I went in to see him yesterday and we had a nice visit, but I could tell he wasn't feeling well. The family got a call at 10:00 last night that they had gone in to take his vitals and he had stopped breathing. So they did CPR for over an hour and finally brought him back. But, in the end, it left him "brain dead". I was with the family this morning and prayed with them as they had to make the decision to withdraw life support and let him go. Chris called this afternoon and said "Gramps" passed away and the family has asked me to do his funeral.

I'm telling you this to ask for your prayers. As you know, this was supposed to be a vacation for Paulette and I, but it hasn't turned out that way and our lives are in turmoil right now. We would really appreciate your prayers as we go through all of this. I'll post and let you know when Peggy passes and goes to be with the Lord.
