Light a candle for Lisa tonight
 

Angels -

News is not good in Colorado right now. After an absolutely terrible night spent with the home hospice nurse, this morning we had to move Lisa into in-patient hospice. In short, her bowels, intestines, and stomach have all stopped functioning and we are left with only alleviating her pain and misery. As I type Lisa is getting the first real sleep she has had in several days/nights - all in a super-dosed morphine induced haze.

The doctor has given us a prognosis of "days" and we are gathering friends and family to the hospice center. We can no longer provide her with any food/drink as anything that goes into the stomach worsens her condition.

Please light a candle for Lisa and remember her courage and love. Carry on her fight! She loves all of you and would be typing to you all now if she were able.

I wlll to my best to keep you all posted but my greif comes in waves and I am so numb I cannot promise much.

Love and Light
Mel

so sorry to hear this, Mel. I have lit a special candle for you both.

Oh Mel and Lisa, I'm in tears reading your missive. Words are inadequate to express my feelings, but you are both in my prayers tonight.
Love and Light.

Mel, Finding the right words at a time like this is so difficult, if not impossible. I just want you to know how truly sorry I am to hear this. I can't even imagine what Lisa and you are all going through right now. This just breaks my heart to hear such news.

I will certainly have you all in my thoughts and prayers.

Candle is lit. So sorry. I'm having a hard time with words. Don't worry about posting for us. Do what you need to do. Bev

Mel,

I don't know what to say but rest assured Lisa will be in my prayers. I can only imagine the pain and anguish that you and the family are now enduring. I will pray for a miracle.

Power outage
 

Mel -
We are experiencing a long power outage and the oil lamps and candles have been lit since you first posted about Lisa. I have been calling them "Lisa's lights."
I am now at my sister's where they have power, but left one lit when we left our house. I had hope for Lisa.

This is undoubtedly the worst time in your life, and we appreciate a few moments to let us know what has happened.

Sending you both all the love and light we can muster.

God bless you Mel for the boundless love and caring of your dear Lisa. I pray that He will give you both strength as you walk this difficult path together. Remind her how much we here all love her.

Sincerely,
Tom

Lisa
 

So sorry to hear the news. Will lit the candle and think of Lisa, you and the whole family. Love and eternal peace.

Mel and Lisa, thinking of you in this hard time.

Mel...
 

nothing I say could take away your grief so I won't even try. Lisa has been such a GREAT source of support and love to many (she has ALWAYS held a special place in my heart). My prayers will continue with her, you and your family and friends. Take care and God bless.

Mel, I do not even know what to say to you at this time but that I think so much of Lisa, even only knowing her through this web site.

Her smile remains in my memories always.

I wish her peace....

Mel,

We'll light the candle, with the hope that peace of mind, and of heart, finds a place with you and your family, and especially with Lisa. There are no words, and everything falls short. Our thoughts are with you, and if there is ever a way for love to be sent, it is being done now by many for you, for Lisa.

Thank you for being here, it makes all the difference.

Mel,


I have lit a candle in Pittsburgh for you & Lisa.....I cannot find the right words to type, but know that my heart aches for you both.

Love to you

Mel ~ words are not adequate at a time like this but she will always hold a special place in so many hearts & minds. She will always be remembered as a beautiful and courageous soul that gave herself to so many others. I enjoyed coming back to this website for 3 years and reading her thoughtful, funny and generous insights into the life we live in....this special bond that holds us together & makes none of us strangers.

Peace, Ruth

I agree that it is so hard to know what to say. My thoughts and prayers are with you Lisa and the rest of your family. I am deeply saddened by Lisa's condition. I am praying for the best.

Dear Mel

I am so sad from this news. As you can see Lisa is so loved on this board.I have no words .Lisa is so lucky to have your support.

Candles have been lit. While my heart grieves for both of you, it is at least a small measure of peace that Lisa is at last sleeping and more comfortable. You have been a wonderful partner in all of this and I know how very hard you have worked, Mel. God bless you for the love and loyalty showed this first class lady. I will truly miss her warmth and wisdom on the board.
