Thanks to all. She was a skydiver supporter to me. She just woke me up.

I don't know when you tried that last with the insurance but I believe they have changed the law now! In Texas!

11/15/2004 7:30 am She finally found peace. She was a trooper and went we she finally felt ready. I told her yesterday that I wasn't coming back because I couldn't keep reliving her death everyday and it was her time to meet the Lord. Rest in peace my beloved mother.

please pray for closure. For what ever reason the Timex just keeps going.

840 saturday morning Heading up there now. She gave definate yes/no responses over night to my brother. She just refuses to go. Her body is decimated but her mind is strong. Peace, Conway

cjustus and i are dealing with this as well as possible. She just won't let go but thanks for the support michelle!

Well she won't give up! I spent the day again waiting for her too leave and it just wasn't to be. For what ever reason she still has some issue unresolved and won't let go. Last night around 3 am she opened her eyes and they would just stay open staring into nowhere! This afternoon she was showing some response to input, verbal and touch although she wasn't realy in touch with the goings on. My Mom is so fucking much a Hall/Craig that she wont give in it's killing us. I will post tommorrow some closure. CP Hall Cjustus

Great news Andrea! I think my mom gave him a kiss on the way to heaven. I told her about him. She was the caretaker of her world

Horoscope for today; Capricorn: A resurgence of pride is accented this morning. Spiritual matters are provocative. Use care in impressing your desires upon others, particularly young people

800am friday 11/12/04 Having just got off the phone with the iron man is my dad Mom is just lying there with her eyes wide open, an involuntary reaction I suppose. Very short breaths are left so i assume the Lord is taking her very slowly and causiously having given her the chance to realise how much she was loved and allowing everyone to come and wish her well on her journey to Heaven to join her parents and friends. I held out a glimmer of hope even as we went to bed last nightat 4am that there was a chance for a miracle. Mom's as tough as leather and showing it to the peaceful end. Definitely a 'Hall' even if she just married into being one 52 yrs ago

I was mistaken in my post yesterday, it was my dad's 71st birthday and my mom is 68, the birthday jump would have been 12/29/05! On another note; I was called at 11:00am this morning by my brother to get to the hospital in a hurry because she was about to go. I was at work trying to get some orders in so that my not being there wouldn't disrupt the business. When I got there she was out but stressed and each breath seemed to be her last. After the great medics at MDA got her the right medicine she calmed down and we waited. She looked to be completly comfortable in her drug induced state of unconsciousnous for hours. At one point this evening after Cjustus (in the avatar) got there from Austin, their next door neighbors came by in tears. As I kissed Mom on the forehead and spoke up and said "she may not be able to respond but she CAN hear you". I left the room to go let Dad know that his neighbors were there. After I left the room Mom woke up and looked around and i was no where to be found! After I came back in the room and was told of this from my cousin Paula, I gave Mom another kiss on the forehead and said to her that I was back and there for her, moments later she began opening her eyes again. I let her know that we were there for her and that it was ok to leave. She seamed to be getting a little anxious so we got some more meds and she slipped off again peacefully. She remained the same untilll we left at 1200 midnight. I was glad to have those final moments to let her know that it was ok time to leave but I guess she's just not ready yet. I am in a much better state this evening after spending the good time with Mom today! I'm ok with her passing thanks in no small way to the the support we have recieved here on Dropzone. She was one of us that unfortunately won't jump untill I take some ashes for release. She knew before we left tonight how many people here were praying for her recovery and I thank everyone of you for support! Good night all. CP Hall Patricia Ann Hall 12/29/35-11/12?/04

Michele, you have been a vertual friend for a while. I appreciate your feelings greatly.

Thanks as she had promised me that she would skydive with me for her 70th birthday! Today just happenned to be my father's 70th birthday.

I was told tonight after moving my mother to a diffrent wing of the hospital that she only has between 24-36 hours to live. She is in no pain at the moment. I thank alll my my friends that have stood beside me in this endever! This is very tough for me me to write. There is no more hope. Her body has no more chance of repelling the deseases in her lungs and will be moving on. She is a sky dive mom to the inth, God bless her passing! God bless Patricia Ann Hall!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was thinking the same thing! A friend bought a canopy from a pericular dealer and when it came in it had a big sign sewn on it "Call 'BARPH' " on it. The canopy was returned to him.

Thanks, Just got a call from my sister reminding me that it's my dad's 70th birthday today while he's sitting patiently by Mom's bed at the hospital.

Keep the real job and the real life and keep skydiving as a hobby! Skydiving for a living is an unreal delusion unless you work at a select few DZ's. Enjoy your passion for your girl and your hobby and have a real life outside the DZ!

Duece, It is harder for me to walk past a person and not say hello than to remain silent! I was brought up to be friendly and persivere every day of my life to exude that. As tough as the times are in my life right now, It makes it no easier to be an arce!

She got a break by the doctors finding out for sure what is affecting her. She's out of the fire but with NOCARDIA, she's not out of the forest yet. Unfortunately I think that we were actually given false hope. My Mom, I think is truly short of a miracle, on her death bed. I spent 4 hrs. with her on Saturday and 3 today and she is down to just drinking water and no food whatsoever and in excruciating pain. It's tough trying to type through the tears I am going through right now. The infectious disease doctor that came in today while her sister was there said in front of both of them that he is afraid that there is too much infection in her body for her to survive long enough for the anti-biotics too work! I gave the approval today to move her upstairs to a different level at M.D. Anderson Cancer Ctr. that deals more with taking care of dealing with the symptoms and pain remeadiation than therapy. They haven't thrown in the towel yet but I'm afraid that they are waiving it.................This is one very special lady that the only time in my life that I know of that she was ever sick was when, me, her last of four babies got her sick from sticking herself with a pin from my diaper when I had a boil on my ass and she was allergic to penicillin and swole up like a pig!

Andrea that is great news! Vibes for Ryan! (and you)
