These early calls usually are bad news so I got up and checked the number on my phone and saw it was a close friend.My first thought was to go back to bed, but after a couple of minutes I felt it must be important and called him back.My friend answered his cell and I joked now retired I usually sleep in later than this and asked what's wrong?He said his wife was in the hospital and was kept live by a machine and showed no signs of brain activity.He also said at 8am or later she would be taken off of support and would like my wife and I with them at the hospital.She is only 49 and was always so positive full of life a real shock.My wife and I had a long drive and got to the hospital on time to be with the family.Even one of the nurses was crying who was giving everyone comfort when we first arrived.With the family around the bed you could feel the sadness and hear the weeping.I felt a prayer should be said and asked my friend if I could say the Lord's Prayer out loud and we all prayed.I felt unworthy to say the Prayer and hoped there would had been someone else.The words to the Prayer came out of my heart the words clear and correct.This is one of those days where the world stops you lose a friend and see the family suffering.I know this is hard to explain,but Jesus died for our sins and to believe this is our salvation and without this we have nothing.The funeral services for Lori is this Wednesday.Prayers for the family appreciated.Thanks Ron
