Coach Carrie's Mom

Coach Carrie's Mom passed away last night. When we know more we will publish it on the post.
I have no address for Hawaii and my guess is that she could probably use donations more than flowers. Please, keep that in mind as you hold her and her family in your prayers.

I am sending along what Coach Carrie wrote. It is a beautiful witness to a lovely passing and her faith:
"I wanted to let everyone know that my Mother passed away last night at 10:30pm.
My brother, Steve and my sister, Cheryl as well as myself had 9 very hard but joyous days with my Mother here at The Queen's Medical Center in Hawaii. We sang songs, talked about family and growing up and how important our Mother was to us......it was beautiful.....especially knowing my Mother heard every word. We were so fortunate to have been able to be together at my Mom's side while she made her way to heaven. With the grace of God and all your prayers, all 3 of us were at the most unbelievable calm, with Steve singing Amazing Grace when she opened her eyes and took her last breath. My Mother, Shirley was saved 4 days ago while in the hospital, as she accepted Jesus as her personal savior.

Thank you all for thoughts and prayers......I love you.

Carrie "
