I can't locate our old family album with the family pics.
Below is a pic I took from a picture on my sister's wall from when she started showing symptoms in the early eighties, & one I took last night around her bedside.
Quite the difference.




Bro. Ron,

I am so glad you got to go by yesterday and see your dear sister. It
isn't always pleasant to see our loved ones in the situations they are in
sometimes, but I believe your visit with your sweet wife and beautiful
children was no doubt encouraging. The sweet faces of your family is
enough to brighten any day and I sure it brightened your sister's day.
May the Hand of the One who said, "I will never leave you nor forsake
you, continue to be in control, in Jesus Name.

God bless you all,

Fallaa39

She started showing symptoms in the early eighties & progressed to where she has been in a nursing home for the past 12 years.

Lately she has taken a turn for the worse & has developed sleep apnea.
My oldest sister who has Power of Attorney over her has requested DNR & no tube feeding as she doesn't want her suffering to be prolonged.

She was there the other day & stopped breathing for 15 seconds before beginning breathing again.
It looks like she is on her last legs.

I am supposed to be in charge of the funeral.
We want to make it to the Nursing Home before she goes but the snow is coming down in buckets.

For me, the sister I knew died a long time ago.

God Bless!

Ron
Ron, I will pray for your entire family. God will help you walk through this with his Grace.

Re: Sister Is Dying!

Bro. Ron,
It looks like your sister is focused on her brother's face! That is so sweet.
Sisters love their brothers. How would I know. I was raised with seven. We all
miss the one who went to be with Jesus in Sept. 2007.

Re: Sister Is Dying!

Thank you for all your encouraging words & your prayers!
This has been a long time coming.
My sister & I call her the energizer bunny because she keeps going & going, but even the energizer bunny's batteries run out sooner or later.

Sad thing is, when my wife & I were dating, she taught my sister & Bible study & she came out to Church, but made no real effort to reach out to God!

Re: Sister Is Dying!

Got a call from my oldest sister tonight & she was crying.
The nursing home called & my other sister who is in the nursing home has a virus & bad cough.

There is DNR on her chart.

Pray for me as I more than likely will be planning a funeral with my Pastor officiating.
