Chloe, I just offered up prayers for you and your family. [Big Grin] This sounds way too familiar. My Mom died the same way of lung cancer in 2001. [Frown]

HOspice couldn't believe how long she lived in such a drastic state.

Mom went to heaven on St. Patrick's Day [Big Grin] after Dad, my brother, sisters, and I feasted on corned beef and cabbage with her gasping for breaths in the next room..

My maiden name is McNamara [Big Grin] , Mom's mother died on Valentine's Day [Big Grin] , and her youngest sister passed on Independence Day! [Big Grin]

Darn if God's ways aren't better than our's. [Wink]

Hang in there girl!
