Yesterday, when mom was coming in and out of lucidity, she pointed to her chest and said "turn me off."
"Oh mama, that's not my role. That's between you and Jesus. But it's fine, tell him he can turn you off whenever He's ready for you."
Several hours later, in her typical Dee Dee fashion (that is, with little fanfare and making as little fuss as possible), Jesus turned her off. It was peaceful and she passed away with a smile on her face. While we are brokenhearted, we are thrilled to know SHE is no longer broken. In fact, when sitting with Anne yesterday, she ran through her vocal scales. So we are pretty sure she's singing in the choir right now.
Labor day is making it hard to confirm plans, but we expect that there will be a visitation Wednesday evening and memorial service midday Thursday. I will post details when it is 100% confirmed.
Thank you for you love and support. We feel it now more than ever.
Lindsey
