We have been able to be with Sue all hours of the day as her body slowly shuts down. She was able to talk normal on Monday into early Tuesday morning. Then she could only grunt or whisper words here and there. Family came into town as well as a couple pastors. We sang hymns, prayed, and read scripture to her. By Tuesday evening around 9 pm, she was in a deep sleep, still alive and able to hear, but otherwise waiting on the Lord to take her home. Watching her slowly shut down was one of the hardest things our family has ever had to watch. Yet, the moments were peaceful and God's mercy was so evident in the room.
