Just a couple if hours ago I got a call about her having a heart attack. She is a lung cancer survivor. Her treatment bought her about 18 months. About 30 mins ago I got the call that she was on life support and probably wouldnt make it through the night. While calling my brothers the final update came. I just told the kids. We had a good discussion about life and death and where they fit in the grand scheme of things.

talk about out of the blue though. And no good bye. This will hit me more later I am sure. Thank you all for your kind thoughts and prayers.
- Josh Haley
So sorry to hear about your loss, Josh.

It's OK to use the like link on a bad news post. I really appreciate the support from you all, and consider you all friends. Otherwise I would not have been comfortable sharing. I spoke with my mom about the ordeal today and she us handling things very well right now. Things could and will most likely change but it was good to hear her voice and allow her to say some of these things out loud to help make them more real, since it feels so unbelievable to this point. She went quickly, which is a mercy we are thankful for. Again, thank you all. :)

Two years after my fathers death, I find what comforts me most is that he didn't suffer long. Since then I've witnessed the ordeal of someone who did not go quickly, instead lingering month after month. If you have to die, its better to go quickly.

Grandparents are such a unique part of our lives. I'm happy that you had a chance to know her. Can you even imagine how happy you made her by giving her some wonderful little Great-Grandchildren?

Josh: I guess God needed her back to help with things in the kingdom. I figure that if someone from our family had to be the 'advance team' for the rest of us, Grandma Pudge is the perfect choice. Never was there a more loving, intelligent, quick witted and forgiving person. She was just shy of 5 feet tall, but she was in charge of any group, any where, any time. Nobody ever doubted or challenged this. She was, and continues to be, awesome. I will miss her something awful, but will see her again...

Well said, Morg. She was a powerhouse packed into just under 5 feet. And again, thank you all for keeping us in your thoughts.

Terribly sorry to hear that Josh. My prayers are with you and your family.

So sorry to hear, Josh! My thoughts are with you all at this sad time!
