Two years ago this am ..my mother had called abt
6 am to say my Aunt Lil had passed away ...
You were up sitting in your chair .. Said you
Had not slept well .. Been up in the night
With "cramping" ....
Said you probably would not feel like going to services of My
Aunt Lil's ...
I called Angie Taylor / or texted her to see if we could nurse
Out to the house soon..she texted or called & said they were in mtg
Not till 10am
You went back to bedroom and was sitting on edge of bed
And I went to check on you --your lips were blue
In color ...you said " I am not ready to go yet" &
I said "
I am not ready for u to go , either// I don't even know
Where everything is around here" ....trying to lighting
Up the mood !
I said I calling an ambulance ... At 9 : 15 / 9::30 M
They arrived & took u to st Mary's ... EKG showed heart attack
They air lifted you to Peoria St Francois
.. Dr/ nurse said u were still able to talk when u
Arrived ... And then blood pressure / everything
Shut down.. You went to sleep .. Praise God
No more pain -
I love & will always miss you !! You were such
A protector & strong influence on
Me .. Thank you for our time together on this earth
