almost home...


Your outpouring of love and prayers for our Courtney have been overwhelming, so I decided to break cyber silence and let you know where we were. She is such a fighter, I have a feeling she will not let go quickly. 

Tonight we bathed her for the last time and then she received last rights and general absolution from Fr. B. 

 She is in no pain. 

 We wait in vigil for Our Lord to bring her home.

    Praying for all of you, Courtney looks peaceful cradled in her mother's arms. No better place to be this side of heaven and I know you will see her off to the other side of heaven as only a mother can. ((hugs))

    With loving thoughts for you and your family as you go through this separation. Brings back memories of our daughter, Jennifer, who passed away just before turning three. Cortically blind, seizures, g tube, feeding issues, etc. Praying for you. Loving you. Calling down angels to be with you in this sacred time. Asking our Jennifer to keep vigil with your Courtney. Praying for your sweet family and God's powerful presence with you. Love~Charlene
