Marie Hearn
This post is not very fun, but for anyone who is interested, I thought you should know that Wednesday Marie Hearn suffered a massive stroke while dining with Roger and Vernon at one of her favorite restaurants (that makes me smile...a little). Mr. Isaacs forwarded me an email written by Marie Marino (Davie Hollister's mother) that said:
Sorry to write this to everybody at once but it seems the fastest for now. Joe (my brother) has been trying to call since early this morning. Last night Marie Hearn suffered a stroke. She, Vernon, Roger and his family...were all having dinner at one of Marie's favorite restaurants when she was stricken. She was taken to the hospital where they operated last night to remove a clot in her brain. She is in ICU at PRMC in Salisbury. As of this evening, she has not awakened.I thought all of you would want to know and be in prayer. I'll let you know when I hear anything more.Prayerfully,Marie
I don't know what to ask you all to pray for for her. It is not really fair to her, but I would really like an opportunity to say goodbye. She is one of the Great Ones in my life.

Well, it wouldn't let me leave a reply about my mom on Amy's site, so I'll cast my lot with thinking of how the Great Ones leave us. They have the nerve to think it is time for us to become Great Ones, I suppose.
Last night I dreamed that mom was alive and had lost so much weight. When she got off the scales I asked what she weighed and she said 125 lbs! I was so happy for her. Then I suddenly remembered that I thought she had died, and realized either I had only dreamed she had died, or I was dreaming she was alive. I thought really hard, and suddenly realized (in my dream) that I was only dreaming, and she really had died.
You're right Amy. It does change. I think less about her death now, and more about the fact that she is GONE. And I miss her more.
and aunt n, you are one of my Great Ones too, so don't you think about going anywhere! i need a few of you around...
update on marie hearn as of tuesday, April 25:
Marie Hearn continues to hold her own. Still not awake, she shows encouraging signs of movement on her left side. Even though in a coma, she will squeeze your hand in recognition. Apparently it is just a matter of time before she awakens. Then there will be a time of rehab.
Roger continues to stay by his mother's side. Deidre and Margaret returned home (to Massachusetts) this past Sunday and intend to commute back and forth during this time. Vernon is too ill with Parkinson's to visit at the
hospital but Roger keeps him informed at home.
This is all I know at this time. I will continue with progress reports as I
get them.
i'm with you all the way, about the great ones and marie hearn, but my take on her is 'please jesus, take her home..'nan , sunday night i got home from the creek and thot i'd call mom and share the good, happy peaceful feeling and then remembered.. mon day morning i awoke from a dream.. there had been a knock at the door and when i went and looked thru the curtain ( and i have almost never had curtains in my house) there was Mom.. i was so glad to see her then thot..but i thot she was dead !? then, well no, she is alive.. with God.. so if He is o.k. with her leaving for awhile to come visit us that is o.k. She said that she couldnt stay forever but had come to visit.. we talked and bit, she looked about 20 years younger, no 30 kind of like she did at my wedding..the dress she was wearing was one we have a picture of her in, a blue one and her hair was still tie-back-able and she began to do some stuff around the house and i ran and called the kids and then went to dad's trailer and told him that mom had come to visit.. he came running and got a cramp in his leg and had to slow down and for a moment i was afraid that he would miss her, but no, she was still there and no, she wasnt planning to leave that soon.. i awoke so peaceful and happy.. like it was o.k. for her to be gone if we could just see her now and then...
