Linda is resting now with the help of the pain medication, and she is not hurting any more. There were family members here with her throughout the night keeping vigil with her as she lost consciousness. She's putting up quite a fight and her body isn't quite ready to let go of her yet, so we are still waiting for her to be at peace.
We know that it was her decision to be taken off of treatment and put into the hospice program. It's hard to watch her deteriorate but she told the pastors and all of her family that it was time for her to go and she is ready to be done with her illness. We have passed along all of your kind thoughts, prayers, and good memories that you wanted to share with her. She told us late last night that she didn't know how many good friends she really had, and she didn't know how many lives she had touched until now.
She loves you all.

Dan and Heather,
Not hearing about Linda's death yesterday, I went to the hospital today to visit with her knowing that she was not doing very well. I just wanted to say hi to my friend Linda and let her know that I was thinking of her. It had been awhile since I had seen her and I wanted to see her and let her know that I cared about her. And now I just want to let you know there are many of us who cared and loved your Mom. It was easy to do as she was such a wonderful woman with a big heart. She will be missed by many.
