I am posting this with the realization that not everyone believes in God or in prayer. Your good thoughts are welcomed. That being said....

I was informed this morning that my ex-wife and the Mother of our 12 year old Son was transported to the Oklahoma Heart Hospital yesterday afternoon. She is currently on life support and the next 24 hours (as of 2 hours ago) are critical. Please keep her, Rebecca and our Son Jacob in your prayers.

Thank You

Oh, Dennis. That's awful. I will certainly keep her and your son in my prayers. Your boy must be devastated.

Absolutely.

Yes, I will.

Done.

Right there with You, Dennis . . .
(I came across an old song by Trace Balin, just Today, in a different context, that gave me a lot of comfort back in 1990, in similar circumstances. The name of the song is "In the Eye of the Hurricane." It is easily available online and has a good message . . . in the sense of standing True outside of time, tides or tribulations.)

I will do as you ask, and add a prayer for you.

Done.

Being a heart patient myself, I totally understand the concern and all involved have my prayers.

My uncle just had emergency heart surgery yesterday and it went very smoothly. I'm hoping your ex has a happy outcome as well!

Best wishes.

I will do as you ask, and add a prayer for you.

ditto my way

Prayers for your ex, prayers for your son, and prayers for you for being able to ask for prayers for an ex. And the Oklahoma Heart Hospital provides amazing care. They had me ready to go home 3 1/2 days after cracking my chest open. Their care is second to none.

Gotcha covered Dennis.

Done for all.

Done. God Bless each of you in this difficult time.

Prayers inbound...........

Done, with my best wishes also.

Done.

Good thoughts.... OHH does do great care, she's in good hands...

Done.

All my best...tough, tough, tough. So hard on a 12 year old.

UPDATE: I was just informed about 30 minutes ago that my ex-wife's family will make a decision tonight about taking Rebecca off life-support. It has been up and down. They were able to get her body temp up and then had to start dialysis. The family, which consists of her children ages 24, 22 and 20, (and our Son, Jacob) were informed that their Mother would not be the same person they knew before this latest heart attack.

Thanks to all for your prayers and good thoughts.

Prayers

My heart goes out to all the ones who love her. What a horrible position and choice to make. Thank you for letting us know. This is a hard day for the family.

Dennis

I am so sorry to hear this. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your son

Thoughts and prayers sent your way

Dennis, condolences to all who have been close to her.

You as well as family are in my prayers this morning.

My prayers for all of you.

I will pray for you all, as well. God can do anything--and when He chooses not to, He can comfort anyone.

UPDATE: The ventilator has been removed. Rebecca is surrounded by her family right now.

Prayers and heartfelt thoughts to you and your son and the rest of her family.

IN MEMORY OF "REBECCA JOY MITCHELL (TUCKER)". This is from Rebecca's childhood and life long friend...

"At 4:20 AM, Becky was called Home to be with our Lord. Her children by her side...she is at peace. No longer tired...now completely healed and restored...she is walking with Jesus and once again reunited with her parents. She use to tell me "Sis, if I ever go first ...I'll share an inside view with you of what heaven is like...someway..somehow". I'll be waiting Bec...for that tug on the shoulder my friend. Thank you to all for your prayers, love, friendship and support. Please continue to keep Becky's children and family on your prayer list...it's needed now more than ever.

I love you Becky...my first best friend in this earthly life. Until we are reunited again...Soar my Sister...Soar. God Bless"

I would like to share one more song...


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9P95mHQ99U

Well, I'm tired and so weary, but I must travel on
'Til the Lord comes and calls me away, oh, yes
Where the morning's so bright and the Lamb is the light
And the night is as bright as the day, oh, yes

There will be peace in the valley for me some day
There will be peace in the valley for me, oh, Lord, I pray
There'll be no sadness, no sorrow, no trouble I see
Only peace in the valley for me, oh, yes

Well, the bear will be gentle and the wolves will be tame
And the lion shall lay down by the lamb, oh, yes
And the beasts from the wild shall be led by a little child
And I'll be changed, changed from this creature that I am, oh, yes

There will be peace in the valley for me some day
There will be peace in the valley for me, oh, Lord, I pray
And there'll be no sadness and no sorrow, no trouble I see
Only will be peace in the valley for me, oh, yes
Yes, there will be peace, sweet peace in the valley for me, oh, yes

Mom and Son (Rebecca and Jacob)...

"Heaven Song" (Phil Wickham)

You wrote a letter and You signed your name
I read every word of it page by page
You said that You’d be coming, coming for me soon
Oh my God I’ll be ready for You

I want to run on greener pastures
I want to dance on higher hills
I want to drink from sweeter waters
In the misty morning chill
And my soul is getting restless
For the place where I belong
I can’t wait to join the angels and sing my heaven song
I hear Your voice and I catch my breath
‘Well done my child, enter in and rest’
Tears of joy roll down my cheek
It’s beautiful beyond my wildest dreams

I want to run on greener pastures
I want to dance on higher hills
I want to drink from sweeter waters
In the misty morning chill
And my soul is getting restless
For the place where I belong
I can’t wait to join the angels and sing…

I want to run on greener pastures
I want to dance on higher hills
I want to drink from sweeter waters
In the misty morning chill
And my soul is getting restless
For the place where I belong
I can’t wait to join the angels and sing
No, I can’t wait to join the angels and sing my heaven song

So sorry to hear this Dennis. Sorrow, grief, and loss are God's way of telling us this Earth is not our final home.

My deepest condolences. May peace be with you. God Bless

Rebecca's Memorial Service was held yesterday morning at NewChurch in Oklahoma City. As a final tribute to her passing, I would like to dedicate this song to her memory...
