February 15

Today was another tough day.  The family went to the hospital in shifts.  Judy is a fighter and, as always, she never gives up.  She loves life and will never surrender.  She will fight to the finish.  I don't know when the end will come, but the end will come when it is supposed to come.  Until then, we will wait and be at Judy's side either physically or in spirit. 

I asked David to administer last rights today.  His words were so beautiful I want to end this post with the words that he shared.

Blessed be Thou Lord God of Israel forever and ever, all things in heaven and on Earth are thine. In Jesus name we embrace Judy at this moment.

I said to the man who stood at the gate of the year, "Give me a light that I may tread into the unknown. And he replied, "Go into the darkness and place your hand in the hand of God. That will be to you better than light and safer than a known way."

The love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with us now and always. Amen.

Judy it is OK to let go. We all love you. The girls will be fine with the support of the good men in their lives. And Alvin will be well taken care of; I will take that on personally.
