Late last night we got word that my SIL is in a very bad way, with multiple shut downs and a major heart attack. Another Sister-in-law Edie picked up My Beloved here in Portland very early this morning and they rushed to Spokane where other relatives are waiting. A couple minutes ago I got word that Tracy had a second major heart attack and they will try to keep her alive until Edie (the eldest sister) gets there. Hope, pray, wish etc. Whatever you’ve got I’ll take. ---

As am I. May Tracy fully recover, if at all possible, but if not, may the rest of her life be happy and pain-free, with her knowing there are those who love her and want only the best for her. ---

Last night we got word that multiple systems were failing and that she had a major heart attack. Edie and Renee left before 6 this morning to go to Spokane, and not too much later while they were on the road they got word that Tracey had another major heart attack and that the doctors weren’t sure Edie would make it in time. Tracey held on for a few hours, though, and then she left us. ---

I didn’t get any sleep last night, got up very early to get Renee ready to be picked up. I am worried about how Renee is handling things. I am tired, numb, dizzy, sweating, afraid I’ll miss a phone call…I haven’t been this much of a wreck since I don’t know when. ---

My condolences for you and your family. This is a tough time for you and Renee, and I’m sure it will be for a while. Tracy is fortunate to have a family that cares for her enough that her death affects them so much. In our own ways, we will be with you in heart, mind, and spirit in the days to come. You are not alone in your shock and grief. ---
