At a little after 11PM last night I got a call from my mom…as soon as I saw her name on the caller ID I knew something wasn’t right. She told me my grandmother was being rushed to the emergency room with a heart attack. I immediately jumped in the car and headed down to the Washington County Hospital in MD.
The weird thing is my grandfather had just had major surgery that same day. When I got to the hospital, I knew she wasn’t going to make it by the way she was breathing. They wheeled my grandfather’s bed down from the 5th floor so he could lay there beside her and hold her hand. She was responsive all the way up to the end, but finally went home to be with Jesus at a little after 1am. Please pray for our family in the coming days, weeks and months as the transition to life without “Mom” (pronounced “mum”) becomes a reality.
Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of one of His saints.
–Psalm 116:15
To be absent from the body is to be at home with the Lord.
-2 Corinthians 5:8
