A tribute for my mother-in-law

We unexpectedly lost another family member last week.  My husband's mother passed away during surgery last Friday.

We were going to go to the fair and get her mini donuts for supper, we were going to let her heal for a couple days then transfer her back home.  Yeah, well, God had other ideas.

They were only going to clean out a wound, but it was much more complicated than that.  When the surgeon came to tell us that surgery was not going as planned, we were caught off guard.  Suddenly we were talking about DNR status and the possibility that if she survived surgery, she'd require life support.

After he went to get a status check, the surgeon came back and said that it was done, she'd made that decision for us.  I truly believe that God came to her and asked if she wanted to go now.  She made a good choice.  She's suffered much.  Blessed are the suffering, they shall inherit the Kingdom of God.  She now knows pure love - the kind you only know in heaven.

Blessed are you, Alice Storr.  Rest in peace.
