This is Nicole.
Forgive me...this is going to be scattered.
Mom died this morning. Marcus was there with her. He said it was peaceful. Dad, Shane and I got to the hospital soon afterward.
In her room, there was a white board that said "Welcome Mona." The hospice staff wrote it the day she arrived.
Very gently, this morning, Marcus walked up to the board and wrote the word Home after Welcome....so it read Welcome Home Mona.
This is tough stuff.
Thank you to everyone who loved my mom. She could probably remember all of your names. She made sure everyone felt precious and welcomed.
The visitation will be this Wednesday, Feb. 11 from 5-8 p.m. at Community Covenant Church. 901 Humboldt Ave. N. Her home church. The Memorial Service will be Thursday at 7 p.m. at Brookdale Covenant Church...the church where Marcus and Shelly were married and Eric and I were married. 5139 Brooklyn Blvd. Brooklyn Center, MN.
To be honest...I don't want to end this post....if I keep writing, somehow my mom will still be here. I know in my head that she is in Heaven and that she is having an amazing reunion with people she loves, but my heart hasn't quite caught up yet and I just need another hug...someday. I know she knows she is loved.
And I know that she would want me to thank everyone for their prayers.
Peace and Justice to you all.

Peaceful Sleep
This is Nicole.
Mom is finally in a peaceful sleep. She hasn't talked, but her rest seems deep and peaceful. Dad stayed with her last night and he said it was good that he was there. He's going to stay again tonight and we'll just take it hour by hour.

Hospice
This is Marcus.
My mom just moved into a hospice room at North Memorial this afternoon. The doctors are trying to control her pain in an effort to get her home. We will just have to play the next day or so by ear.
While my mother would like to see each and everyone of her friends and family, out of respect for her please contact either myself or Nicole before coming to the hospital. She is in and out a lot because of the medication and she likes to know who is around.
I am sure that you all can understand and we thank you in advance for your support and cooperation.
You can reach me by phone, or my email at: Myrayray2@aol.com

Hospital
My mom is in the hospital.
She was overwhelmed by nausea and we're hoping the doctors can help figure it out.
Please continue to pray for her to be as comfortable as possible.
