Thanks for all of the prayers and special comments this week. It has been a long hard week. I'm spending some time with mom, as you can understand she is having a hard time losing her mother.
We buried my grandmother Thursday. http://wilsonfuneralhomeky.com/online-obituary/2013-06-mary-lee-conley/10066728
As I mentioned in my first post, she had a car accident. The accident actually happened somewhere around 8am. She was never up that early so who knows where she was going. The report said that she was traveling at an extremely high rate of speed, never even hit her brakes when she left the highway. The first person to stop said that she did know her first name and age but couldn't remember her last name but I guess that could have been from shock. She also wasn't wearing a seat belt.
At the local ER, she seemed to be somewhat confused but she also had a hard lick to the head. Some of the family said that she didn't even realize that she had an accident. That might have been from shock too...who knows. She did tell my sister that she loved her. The local hospital said that she had 8 broken ribs and a SLIGHT concussion. The shipped her out to a trauma unit across the state line in WV. They said that she had a heart attack and went into cardiac arrest on the way and was DOA.
At this point, my mom was still about 2 hours away. The hardest thing was to call and tell my mom that her mother was gone. I can still hear her screaming. Another employee drove my mom in and I am so thankful that someone was with her. My sister and I met her at the office and took her to the hospital where the rest of the family was waiting with the corner. Needless to say, this was very hard on her. If I had not have known it was my grandmother, I would not have recognized her. She had a lot of head trauma.
So in the end, the funeral home said that she had 8 broken ribs, a crushed forehead, broken jaw, and broken neck. She was 74 years old.
The whole family had a hard time with the loss, she had 7 girls, 5 that are still living. My mom kept asking about her time of death, she was just frantic and for some reason she just needed to know. The corner came to her and told her that it was 3:16pm. At that point all mom could think of was, JOHN 3:16.
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
That verse was read at her funeral.
I just want to say "thank you" to you all for the prayers and kind words through all of this. A person just never knows when it is there time to leave this world, so it pays to be ready.
