Pat

I'm typing from John's iPhone at the bedside of John's dad, Pat. We are being told he is going through the final stages of dying - he appears to be unconscious, is running a high fever, and gasping for breath within his oxygen mask. It's very heartbreaking, but we are confident he will soon be experiencing a peace and love so beyond anything he ever experienced here on Earth, as Pat long ago comitted his heart to Christ. Please pray for this final time for him, as well as strength for our (John's) family as Pat's relationship with them has not been easy.

I'm holding your whole family up to Jesus right now. He's holding all of you in His huge and capable hands, ready to receive Pat on his way Home. God bless you all.

Love,
Tawnya

I'm so sorry! Jay's dad went through this whole thing almost 4 years ago.
May God peace be with you in this difficult time.
