Aunt Tare

Please keep my great aunt (We call her Aunt Tare, but her real name is Henrietta McKowen) in your prayers this week. She has been in the hospital because she suffered a MI (heart attack) and now has several other problems (hernia, internal bleeding etc.) They can not move forward without exploratory surg, which they can not do with her in this condition. They are trying to keep her comfortable with meds, and that is all.
Aunt Tare is one of my favorite people in the whole wide world. I just love that sassy old lady! I don't have any grandparents anymore and she is the last of her generation in my family. I wish I could be with her now. We have shared countless laughs, secrets, jokes...she has been a real important person to me and I pray that she will pass peacefully. I know she is a Christian, and believe she will be received with open arms upstairs! My Dad told me that she is constantly surrounded by folks back home that are visiting her. I hope that they are not only reminding her of how much we love her, but also the love and grace that God has freely given to us through his Son...
