An email from Kate's Brad....

7. Kate has entered Hospice

Hello dear family, Kate entered the hospital and into hospice care last night at CTCA in Tulsa. Per her directive she will receive now only care to make her comfortable. She is conscious and still with the world. But some walking between the worlds is definitely occurring.

I will tell you one story from my conversation with her last night. Sometime yesterday Kate began to make an involuntary sound that sounds just like a dolphin. She is curious about it. She doesn't think she is communicating with dolphins because she doesn't know any dolphins. She thinks it is a homing signal. She said it means "I am here. You need to start getting ready to come and get me."

She is not afraid. She is serene, calm and loving. She exhibits an amazing sense of grace that everyone notices. She still has a wicked sense of humor. She said some things last night that us really laughing.

I know that you are praying for an easy passage. I know you are praying for Brad who is by her side with devotion and love. We thank you all.

I will keep you informed.
