Thoughts and prayers would be appreciated

A long term employee of mine has had to make the agonizing decision to take his life partner off life support. The family is gathering at the hospital today. They will loose her sometime this evening.

Mercedes has been a wonderful woman all her life here on earth and Rolando and her family are struggling with their loss but, rejoice in lifting her spirit up to the angels of heaven.

I have never publicly asked this of anyone before but, I now ask our FTE family to join us with any thoughts or prayers of grace that you can share.

My very best regards and appreciation to all,

Keith

My thoughts and prayers are with all who know and will miss Mercedes. Her passing will be painful for everyone, but know that her suffering will have ended, and she will be in a better place. God bless.

There and done Keith. Now I see what you were referring to in another thread. I'll send one out for you too as I'm sure this has taken a toll on you as well.
Take care,

It makes it twice as tough when someone has to make that decision.

Prayer sent...

Thank you all for your prayers, heart felt thoughts and best wishes. It means a lot to me and I am sure the spirit of Mercedes has to feel your caring as well.

What a family we have here at FTE.
