From Peachies Blog: "My husband died last night"

The entry below (from my wonderful friend "Sweet PeachieBaby") is what I woke up to this morning.

You have all seen her wisdom and her humor in her comments on my own blogs. They had just celebrated 36 years of love!

Please take a moment to write a comment to her in her entry.
Then take another moment to hold your own "other", no matter what.

XOXO

My husband died last night Mar 31, '09 6:58 PM
for everyone

Just a simple few lines here to let you all know that last night on March 30-2009 my husband died of a massive heart attack.

I have not slept at all. The phone was pretty busy most of the morning. I have had several people come to visit and then things got quiet. I have been cleaning and crying.

My daughter is on her way back from Okinawa. There will be no service anytime soon. Rob will be cremated and we will wait till we can arrange something later.
Rob actually died here at the house about 9:30pm. But the paramedics continued to give him CPR and shocking him and never got a heart beat. He was pronounced over at the hospital sometime after 11pm. I stayed there with him till 3:15am so I could talk to the funeral home people who were coming for his body. I also donated Robs corneas.

Forgive me if I am absent for a few days.

Gods special blessings for you Peachie...
And to know that 2 people are seeing light right now where there was only darkness before.
Love to you always.
XOXO
Me

  6. I heard about this on another blog and it is just so sad. Please let her know that she and her family are in my thoughts and prayers. It was a wonderful thing to do by donating his corneas. I, too, am an organ donor and think if at all possible, everyone should. It's right on my drivers license and my kids also know as well. May God bless your friend and her family.

  7. I just visited her page again... It's great to see so many people offering prayers, condolences and support... I hope this will reassure her that we are ALL here for her no matter what... It's a very stressful time right now, and with everyone praying and supporting her hopefully she can have all the help she needs to get through this...

    My prayers go out to her along with my love, hugs, and shoulders to cry on... I just feel so helpless to know that someone I've grown to love dearly is hurting and there is nothing I can do to make it better...

    I love you Much Much!

  11. Oh dear, Anne...I just couldn't believe my eyes when I read your blog. At first I thought it was a
    joke with the title "My husband died last night" !!! I know I'm running on empty...but how could I be
    so stupid?? :( I kept reading and it finally sunk in and I felt like someone punched me in the gut. I
    feel so bad for her. He hasn't been feeling good for some time and he wouldn't go to the doctor/
    hospital because I believe they don't have health insurance! :( Oh I feel so bad....I wish there was
    something I could do for her or even run over and let her cry on my shoulder. I will keep her in my
    prayers and also ask Jesus to send some angels to hold her up. Even though we haven't met our
    online friends, they sure feel like some of my closest and dearest friends...just like you and Casey.
    Whew!! I need to catch my breath and visit her page. Love you lots and praying for you and Casey
    too....Big hugs & blessings. xo
