Uncle Wayne

{ 05:20, Tuesday, July 1, 2008 } { Posted in Thoughts } { 13 comments } { Link }
Friends,
It is with great sadness and grief that I write these words...
My Uncle Wayne passed away this morning. They removed the ventilator after my Aunt Nina told the Dr not to operate to remove the damaged brain areas. This would have most likely left him in some sort of vegetative state. That was one thing Uncle Wayne adamantly did not want to happen to him. He struggled to breathe and then just passed away....
Graciously and most generously, my Dad and brother Todd are coming here to pick the children and me up...they are leaving tomorrow and will be here Thursday am. We'll leave soon after to be on the road as little as
possible for the 4th....It's hard to know that we have to be picked up like this...I wish life was a bit different....but I can't dwell on what is not and just accept what is. I did check into car rentals, but with it being a holiday weekend, there's not alot left in our town. The only thing that would carry all five of us is a 4 door truck..at a cost of almost $300, plus the gas to get there. I did check into flights...how outrageous at a cost of almost $700 PER PERSON! Ouch!
 
Please keep us in prayer as we travel. And keep Toby in prayer as he holds down the fort here at home. It's hard to be apart during times like these. And keep my Aunt Nina and folks in prayer. My Mom has now lost both of her siblings. As much as my heart is hurting, I can't imagine the pain in their hearts.
 
Thank you for your prayers and words of comfort. I dearly appreciate them!!!

I am so sorry to hear of your Uncle Wayne's passing. I will be praying for strength and comfort for you and your family. I will also be praying for your safe travel.
I will leave this verse for you, it's one that someone sent to me when Roger got put in the hospital.
"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. For as we share abundantly in Christs' sufferings, so through Christ we share abundantly in comfort too." 2 Corninthians 1:3-5
Blessings, Joann

Ohhhh, Laurie, I'm so sorry for your loss. It is so difficult, isn't it? And such a helpless feeling... I know I'd just do anything to lessen the pain, for you and for my family. Praying with you... thank you for your prayers for my family too. One thing I did for my aunt was to set up a blog, and she's really appreciated that. You can see it at dalekennedy.blogspot.com. If you'd be willing to leave a comment sometime, I know it would mean a lot even if you don't know the family. :) Love ya,
~Michelle

I am so sorry for your loss, but thankful he doesn't have to be a vegetable for his remaining time on earth, especially since those are his wishes. I will keep your family in my prayers as they deal with Wayne death and funeral arrangements, and I will be praying for all members who are traveling as well.

God's Blessings,
Amy Jo
