Yesterday we thought mom was going to leave us. She was really struggling to breathe, and very agitated. She pulled thru and is still here now. She was up off and on thru the night and was pretty awake and aware this morning. She ate 4 popsicles thru the night. This morning she called "Bob" in her raspy Darth Vader voice, "Go to Mickey Dees (McDonalds) and get me a shake". Dad looked a little shocked because she has only had a little ginger ale and popsicles. I told him to go get it and he did. She ate 4 or 5 tiny bites of the shake which just came back up and we had to suction it out. I think it tasted good to her though. She was pretty restless, reaching for things that weren't there, and touching the air. She has quieted down since her last dose of morphine and has been resting quietly. This evening Dad, David and a friend  gave her a blessing of release.

Memories

The friends of Sandra Sue Pate have set up this blog so that they could have a central location where all her friends and family could write about the many wonderful memories they have shared with Sandy.

If you knew Sandy, we ask that you post a comment about how she may have influenced you.

Love,
