Guest guest Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 Vicky just told me she went into hospice this evening at 5 PM. I know she and her family will all be more comfortable with her decision... MamaSher; 71, IPF 3-2006, OR.Don't fret about tomorrow, God is already there!

Guest guest Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 Sher I do know you were in regular communication. She had been on hospice quite a long time and she did show an incredible amount of strength. It was amazing how she'd feel she was close to dying and then she'd be going much better again. I'm sure in many ways she surprised herself with the good days she had and how long she survived. Unless something happened that we're not aware of, I think she did have a good, peaceful, comfortable time up to the end. I hope so. > > > > > > Hi everyone, > It is with regret that I have to let you all know that Breathe Support member Vicky of Battle Creek Michigan passed away yesterday, Monday November 30.

Guest guest Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 Bruce... the last time I talked to her, maybe 3 weeks, she said she was not "afraid". A peaceful passing is all any of us can hope for. MamaSher; 71, IPF 3-2006, OR.Don't fret about tomorrow, God is already there! Re: Vicky SherI do know you were in regular communication.

Guest guest Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 Beth: Please pass my heart felt regrets to her family. I did not ever get to write to her but the pain of knowing another loss to this disease is very unbearable.

Guest guest Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 Joyce, I think you must be thinking of someone else. Vicky and Gene had been married for over 30 years.
