Well, tonight about 10 minutes to 8pm. my DH's Aunt Carol passed away. My MIL just got home today from Michigan. They all decided to take the respirator off. So it was only a matter of hours. She will be greatly missed. She was a wonderful woman. I'm just glad that we got to see her back in March. We won't be able to go to the funeral because we have no money right now. We let his mom borrow some money to go and visit her before she died. Please keep our family in your prayers. Thank you.

I am so sorry to hear about your family's loss. it is always a difficult decision to take them off the respirator. I can sympathize

- we had to do that just a short while ago. Just know in your heart that its better for her to be in heaven waiting on all of you to get there that making her linger here in pain.

May prayers and hugs your way! Renee >Well, tonight about 10 minutes to 8pm. my DH's Aunt Carol passed away. My

Thank you for your kinds words Renee. I do know in my heart it is for the best. His mom and dad are leaving tomorrow to go back up for the funeral. We just don't have the money to go but everyone understands.

Thank you Carol. Yes she is happy now. Like DH and I were talking today and he said that we mourn for ourselves not for that person. We cry because we are hurting. We all know that she is with God and he is taking care of her and she is looking down on us. What really hurts is that she has 2 young grandchildren and her other daughter just had a baby. She did get to see her and have pictures with her. The 2 kids weren't being told until they got home from school today. They are going to take it hard. I think they are 6 and 8 but don't quote me on that. Thanks all for listening.
