Saying Goodbye...

This may be the easiest way to get the word out.

On Friday, July 8, my mom suffered from another cardiac arrest. She is stable and somewhat back to her same condition.

After speaking with the doctors and getting several opinions, the family has decided to respect Valerie's wishes through the discontinuation of medical care and make her the most comfortable as she passes.

This decision, as difficult as it is, is the best choice for Valerie after the doctors informed us that her brain has begun to atrophy and her ability to recover from another inevitable cardiac arrest would be hard to overcome. Starting tomorrow evening, comfort care will begin.

We ask that you please respect the family in this time of grief and give us the space to say our goodbyes. For those who wish to say goodbye please call before coming by the hospital for address or directions.

Please continue to look for updates on the blog as the arrangements for the funeral are in place I will be making phone calls and posting information.

God Bless.
