I want to let you know that my sister was alive and sending e-mails out around 2 pm on Friday, laughing and talking with her neighbors after that. At 5 pm she was in an ambulance on the way to the hospital. By 9 pm she "coded" and was put on life support until the immediate family arrived at the hospital. I was the last to arrive and soon after I got there, they bagan the process of removing the life support and she was gone within 20 minutes. She had a perforation in her intestine.

I realized just how fragile life is and how quickly we can be gone. Within 4 hours, she was no longer with us. Please appreciate life and thank God for it.
We never know when this could happen to us.
God Bless.

God bless you Martha....I am so sorry to hear this, yes we go throught life pretty much not ever thinking about death, which I guess we have too. I am praying for your comfort and peace in this very painful time...

I'm so sorry for you loss.

You are so right in that we don't really realize how fragile life is.

Praying for you and your family.

Martha, I am so sorry to hear about your loss. Losing a loved one is hard at any time of the year and under circumstances. But to lose someone at the holiday season just seems somehow to be even harder Be assured, I will pray for you and for your family.

We learned the lesson of how fragile our life here on earth is on the day that Walt was taken by LifeFlight to the hospital where he had an aortic aneurism that ruptured on the table. He did survive - only by the mercies and grace of God. He is a walking miracle.

Every day I understand what a gift we've been given. I treasure every minute of every day. His aorta is still dissected the entire length of it, so we never know when we will lose him. And I know for certain that when God is ready to call him, Walt is prepared. But in the meantime, we enjoy each second together.

It's a hard lesson to learn. I'm grateful we've had the chance to learn it.
