Your word is a lamp to my foot, and a light to my roadway. Psalms 119:105

Saturday, July 31, 2010

My Sweetie had a peaceful night but was unresponsive. He takes 7 or 8 deep breaths then holds his breath for about 40 seconds. Our children, Don,Jr, Ann and Teri spent the night along with mates and Papa's Sweetheart, Larissa. Someone was holding his hand most of the night. I guess you could say we were keeping a death vigil.

At least he is not in pain. Keep us in your prayers. Jehovah is certainly strengthening us.

  2. Dearest Sister Baty, Our hearts are breaking for you and your family, also for us. LIfe around here will be less lovely without your wonderful husband. I was just giggling this morning because I thought how cute it was that Maddie giggled so when Bro Baty first kissed her. She had never been kissed by a man with a moustache before. She told me after...mommy it tickles when bro. Baby kisses me! We will miss his tickly kisses and the look he would give when waiting for his hugs. We will have to get extra from you. Please know our prayers and hearts are with you every second of this day. Much love and hugs,
    Amy and family xo

    Although I haven't know Br. Baty long, Krista speaks of him as one would of a cherished grandfather. In the short time I've know him, he always encouraged me to put Jehovah first and set a fine example of how a Christian husband should treat his beloved wife. I look forward to getting to know him better in new world which we all look forward to. Our thoughts and prayers are of your special family during this difficult time.
