Prayers Needed For My Aunt Lois

She is my Auny by marriage. She was the wife of my maternal Uncle Ed. She is the last surviving member of her generation from our family. She is in the hospital with a congested heart and Covid. She is 92 years old.

We all love her because she is feisty with a great sense of humor. When she moved from her home to a senior citizens complex about 5 years ago she said, "the kids want me too because I fell, so I will, but I am not going to be happy about being in there with all those old people."😊

I feel so bad for her family. My cousin her eldest son Ronnie is dying of cancer, and one of her daughters, Cathy is on chemo. We are really close to her son Ed, and he's having a hard time dealing with all this. Ed is almost a year older than my sister, and his younger brother Mark is my age. There is the eldest sister too named Sandy. Plus grandchildren.

Aunt Lois joked to me once that she was always pregnant at the same time as one of my Mom and her two sisters. 🤣 My Mom had 2 kids, My Aunt Kay had 2, and my Aunt Pauline had 4. My poor grandmother had 3 girls and 5 boys.

I know if Aunt Lois passes she will be passed suffering, and reunited with my Uncle Ed, her family, and the rest of my family in heaven, but I am really going to miss her when it happens.

As one of my friends said when he met her, " I love her. She's a hoot."

I will pray for her and hold her in the light and send positive energy her way and peace no matter what way things go. I also pray for her son and daughter may they feel love and support at this time and always. Prayers for you and other loved ones who want comfort and strength as Aunt Lois is hospitalized with heart problems and Covid. Peace to you.
