At Peace

At about 6:40 this morning, a party started in Heaven. Our sweet mom left this Earth and her body is now whole again. We all headed for bed about 12:30 this morning, and my brothers slept in the family room with her again in hopes of giving our dad some rest. They shifted her at some point to make her more comfortable but said she continued to labor to breathe. While they were sleeping this morning, my dad walked in the room and sat beside her. She opened her eyes, looked at him, and her breathing pattern changed. One of my brothers woke me up and I ran down quickly with them beside her. At that point her breathing pattern changed again and a few moments later she made her grand entrance (and with mom we all know it was grand!) into Heaven undoubtedly running straight for her mom, who she greatly missed. We felt like she waited for the few hours while we were sleeping until she could look one more time at dad and have us all surrounding her. As soon as we have details, I will be sure to get those to everyone. For now we know the service will be held at Brentwood Baptist Church, where she was loved so well, and the graveside service will be in Lynnville where so many others of the Knox family are buried. Thanks to everyone for the love and prayers.
