David is in a coma, no food or water since Wednesday evening last week. He's nearing the end of his journey here on earth. He's moving forward to Paradise.
I'm overwhelmed and honored by family, friends and blog friends . Your love and encouragement are lifting me up and helping to sustain me through the darkest time in my life. Thank you!!!
GOD IS GOOD.....

Oh my goodness - I have been praying and will continue to pray - I wish I could do more. I know from experience what you are going thru. And I am so sorry - I hope the Lord let's him go to Paradise without much more pain. LOVE YOU! sandie
So sad for you Dolores – that the love of your life is going before you; but happy for David that he will soon be released from this cruel, cruel disease. Trust God – stay strong. Prayers continue...
Your blog family is here for you to lean on as long and as hard as necessary. Even though David is in a coma I believe the comforting sound of your voice, of music that he loves can soothe him, help ease his transition .... I'm praying for you and for David.
How I do wish that I could reach out and hug you. God shares others with us, if only for a little time. He loans them so that I hearts can rejoice in know them, loving them, and cherishing them. Prayers continue to reach out to you luv and your family. I too, wish that I could do more.
Thinking of you and wishing you peace and comfort during this very, very difficult time in your life. My prayers are with you.
Prayers still being said here....for you,too, Dolores.
I'm praying for you both dear Dolores. I am so, sorry to see you going through such painful times with your beloved David. What conforts him is knowing and feeling your heart and warmth next to him and I'm sure that's how he wants to leave this earth..next to his dearest Dolores and family. Thinking of you every minute and praying God gives you peace and strength to endure this until He wishes. Deep hugs and love to you.

Praying for you both. And praying for your children, grandchildren, and rest of your family. You will all be included in my thoughts and prayers!
Praying for you.
Dolores, I have followed your journey for some time now. I know this is a tough time for your family. Seeing all of the wonderful photos and memories you have posted have made me realize what treasures spending time with our loved ones, and taking the time to photograph those moments for future enjoyment, are worth.
I found your blog through your daughter's blog. I have followed her family's story when I began the Chinese adoption process in 2005.
May the love of God, your friends, family, and that of us strangers, surround you through this difficult time.

Saying prayers for all of you. I think about you often throughout the day.
Sending Texas size hugs your way dear friend... Thank you for keeping us posted...
Dolores, continuing to lift you and David up in prayer! Sending hugs your way. Yes, God is good!!!
Yes, thanks for sharing this journey. Pour your heart out to the LORD and remind him of some of those Psalms like "Though I walk through the valley of death, Thou art with me. Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me." May the God of all comfort sustain you in these dark hours.
Love,
Carol
I'm so so so sorry. I know what you are going thru and I pray you and your family find peace, comfort and compassion from our Heavenly Father. I put you on our prayer chain at my church. I hope you feel warm comfort of prayer around you at the difficult time.

My brother in-laws wife Sister has passed on to Glory Sunday. Her hard struggle to beat her horrid disease time for has come to the end on Earth
Absent from the body to be present with the Lord.
She was 67. Now she is with her Lord and Saviour. No more suffering. There she will live forever in her Spirit . That the Lord gave her in her Salvation.
Then we as a people at bloggers lift you up and family to the Lord for strength in days to come and hours with your beloved husband.
Love You Sister In The Lord
Thank you for letting us know Doloras...I think of you and David constantly and wish you love and peace.
You are in my thoughts and prayers constantly, Dolores. Love you.
Hello precious one! Sharing in your journey of 'pain'as you wait with your bloved. Praying for peace and comfort. God's grace and presence will (is) surrounding you all. (I too know the journey of Alzheimer's and what it takes and robs off...my David passed just over a year ago)
Shalom to you & your family!
Fran
Papa said he wishes you and David peace. My heart aches for you.
Please know that you and David are being thought about by many. I always enjoy seeing your pictures from trips you two have taken together. Please hold onto those memories! Also, know that he will be with Jesus and he will be happy again. I lost my grandmother to Alzheimer's 2 months ago and I have no doubt that she is happy and alive again in heaven. Maybe she will be there to say hello to him! Her name was Dena.

Alzheimers is such an awful disease. My mother has it and it's so hard to watch her slowly disappear yet still be here. You are so blessed to have such wonderful memories of your life together. Thank you for sharing this time on your blog. You've handled it with dignity and love for your husband...he has been blessed.
This is so sad. May you find strength and love for the time ahead and be happy and grateful, as you are for your lovely family and friends. Peace be with you and David. xo
Thoughts, Prayers, and Tears!
May David's passing be gracious and peaceful. May it be triumphant. My you be upheld by invisible arms of love (and human arms too).
Blessing and love, Becky

Still thinking of you and David, now in the home stretch. Hugs and strength to you.

Prayers for you both continue. God bless you during this painful parting.
Dolores,
I have been sporadically reading your blog for several years, as I am an adoption friend of your daughter Karen. Your writing and recording the love story of you and David has been a blessing to me over and over. Thank you for sharing your journey. I am praying for you right now, as you let go to your sweet David one more time. Your attitude, outlook and reliance on Christ are inspiring and beautiful. May your family's love surround you and help you through this chapter in your story.
Love, hugs and blessings,
Sheryl
