I received this letter from my friend, Marlenia,

concerning her beloved husband, Joe.

 

"JOE IS IN THE LAST PHASE OF HIS LUNGS....THE BLOOD CLOTS, THE URINARY TRACT INFECTION....ETC...IS MORE THAN HE CAN HANDLE...

ALL OF HIS FAMILY IS DRIVING IN FROM ALL OVER THE COUNTRY....

IT WILL BE ANY TIME...THE MEDICINES IN ICU AND HIS STRONG HEART ARE ALL THAT IS KEEPING HIM GOING...

DEEPLY SADDENED BY LOSING AN ANGEL ON THIS PLANET..

HE IS ON FULL FACE OXYGEN MASK AND AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL THE HOSPITAL CAN GIVE HIM...

HE CAN GO ON FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS...HE HAS ACCEPTED THAT HE HAS NO HOPE OF ANY OTHER QUALITY OF LIFE

PLEASE PRAY FOR A MERCIFUL & PEACEFUL END TO HIS FIGHT TO BREATHE..

LOVE,

MARLENIA"
