Marty had three visitors today: the hospice nurse, the priest, and the nurse practitioner. The hospice nurse says his apnea is occurring more frequently and that he is semi-comatose. The priest performed the Anointing of the Sick (Extreme Unction). And the nurse practitioner, while she wouldn't offer a timeline, made a point of giving them the on-call contacts for this weekend. It seems like it won't be long now.
Frank has caught the cold that is working through the family, so he watched while Chuck and Judy continued sorting, selecting, and scanning photos for the memory board. I intruded a bit and asked for their input into our reservations for the Maier family reunion in July/August. (Note to Maiers reading this: rooms and cabins are filling up quickly, especially if you want to stay for less than a week.)
In one of life's little coincidences, the dad of one of Frank's more likable Jesuit classmates died a couple days ago, so Frank might stop by the services tomorrow if he's feeling better.

Oh, boy....
Thinking of Frank and you and everyone.
Dear cuz,
I've been praying the Divine Mercy chaplet every day for Uncle Marty (divinemercy.org). How fortunate his is to be surrounded by so much love at this time - what more can anyone want when leaving this fleshy existence behind. Prayers and thoughts surround you, the girls, Frank and everyone in NO - especially Uncle Marty.
