“OVER AND OUT”
My dear friend, Patricia, found out she had inoperable cancer about three weeks ago. She put it on Facebook so that her friends and family knew. Her hubby asked people to come for short visits as they had put her on hospice.
A friend and I went a few days later. She was upbeat and wanted to share some things about her life with us. There were no tears from either side, hers or ours. Instead, there was a peaceful acceptance as we prayed together for the last time.
People came that first week and then she had difficulty talking as her lungs continued to fill with fluid. She posted short notes on Facebook and then a few days later turned off her phone. She continued to post on Fb and then about ten days ago came her final post. Her last words to us were “Over and Out.”
I can’t tell you how that post comforted me. She knew she was passing into the arms of Jesus and was ready to go. It took about ten days until she finally took her last breath. The woman lived a life of love and in the end she went fearlessly into the next life. Farewell, Patricia. I will miss you but you will always be a shining example to me.

Hi Valerie,
Here’s my comment:
Oh, Valerie, I’m glad you were comforted by her words. …got me
thinking about what I’d like my last words to be, if the Lord gives me
that opportunity… I know what I’d love to hear, tho. Until I hear the
Lord’s “well done,” I want to hear praise and worship music 24/7!!! Hugs
and love!!
Erma 🙂
