I don't know how to write this..... But today was awful for us....
At 4 PM this afternoon, the Lord called Loyce home to be with him....
We had gone to the Doctors for severe bronchitis which she had come down with after our Labor Day weekend... She was having trouble with breathing...
They xrayed her lungs, but didn't see anything severe, but her white count was elevated.... They prescribed a breathing treatment and and Antibiotics... I dropped her off at the house and she went inside while I went to Wal Mart to get the scripts... I was only gone for about a half hour...
When I got home she was gone in her chair.... We couldn't revive her..
Of course I am in shock.. How can this be.....?
We just made 45 years on September 1st....
Our Father in Heaven..... Please accept her into your kingdom as she was a good person and a RN helping all of the folks that crossed her path.....
