There really are no words....I received this email a few minutes ago from Barbara's mother-in-law. Please be on your knees for this beautiful friend of mine and all who are dear to her in the days to come.
Good Evening,
Barbara is slipping away. She is no longer able to verbally communicate. She was taken to the hospital this morning with a high fever and dehydration. They did a CTscan which showed swelling in the brain. Hospice will begin taking care of her tomorrow when she is released from the hospital. The doctors have said she is in the final stages and it will likely be days until she is set free from the body which became such a prison in the last few months. Mike will spend the night at the hospital tonight. She is the love of his life.
Jim and I plan to drive down tomorrow and spend the weekend there. I would covet your prayers for Mike and the kids, for Barbara's mom and step-dad, Kathy and Lynn. We have all loved Barbara so much. She has been such a blessing in all of our lives. It is almost 23 months since this cancer all began. Beautiful Barbara has fought the good fight valiantly.
Love you all,
Shirley for the Holms
