You don't know me well, but I need prayer.

Hello ladies,
I don't usually put myself out here, especially when it comes to personal reasons, but I need to put my pride aside and ask for some help. My mom's best friend, Ann is only 60 this year, and has gone from perfectly healthy, to lying on her death bed as I type in 6 weeks. This is my mom's best friend, gave her her first bible, brought her to Jesus, and has always been there as a fantastic friend to my mother, and the rest of my family. My mom and ann were nurses for over 25 years, and my mom is giving ann 24 hour care until she goes to be with her Savior. 

So, that's a little back story, prayer for my mother, me and my family, and for ann's son George would be greatly appreciated. This is especially hard as my wedding is 12 days away, and I want this to be a joyous time for my family, not one of greiving. I am trying so hard to trust the Lord in this time, but I can't do it in my own strength.

    Stay strong and remember that it's not good bye just see you later.

    Ladies, thank you so much for the prayers, they are what have gotten my mother and the many who took care of ann through this past week. Ann went to be with the Lord Jesus at 5 O clock this afternoon, and for that I am thankful, because she is no longer sufferring. The process of realizing she is truly gone will be hard, but I know she would have wanted this time to be a joyful one, and I'm working on regaining my happiness because I know it's what she would have wanted. Again, thank you for the love and support for a sister you don't know so well!
