So far there are no arrangements for Kathis funeral yet. It will probably be around Tuesday before we have a good idea. Running into some difficult issues, but we are aiming for this coming Saturday. To be honest, I am still in shock and totally broken over this. I Love my sisters with all my heart and I am distraught thinking about my nephew, niece and my sisters fiancée. I lost my dad and know what hurt is but this is the most painful thing I have been through except for my beloved great uncle JDs death. We arent totally sure it as her heart, but think it was due to her having chest pains for the past few months and not wanting to go to the doctor. This is what I know about Friday, Kathi was raking leaves outside and she walked around her home and her fiancée said she as white as a sheet, she fell, her fiancée told her she was going to the hospital and she was more worried about the cost by it not being at the VA hospital, She is a veteran and wanted to get arrangements with the Veterans hospital. There was just no time. Scott, her fiancée took her to the local hospital, where she began bleeding, they thought she had a blood clot , or some heart issue, they decided to send her to NEGA Hospital in Gainesville where they were more equipped for such a serious health matter. While at the NE GA Medical center she coded 6 times. When I walked in it was the sixth time, her heart was just too weak with the meds injected needed for reviving. Earlier they had thought she had been stable, but her heart was tired. I walked in asking where she was noticing a nurse administering CPR, then I notice it as her room. I wanted to be in there so badly, but knew that when that is taking place they prefer the family not to be in there and in the way. She hung in there just a little while longer, then she left this world. We were given the opportunity to go see her after she as cleaned up and I had to go in there three times. I did not want to leave my sister. It pains me so badly. I kissed her numerous times, stroked her hair, and told her I knew that her body was just a shell, but I was having such a time letting go. I still am. I just wanted to scoop her up in my arms and hold her. My heart is just shattered right now. Please keep us in your prayers. Her children are having such a difficult time, Scott is too and I cant stop crying. Kathi was and is more precious to me than she could know.
