This morning around 6:00 a.m., Andrew felt like the time was near. He got the kids up to say goodbye, and pretty soon afterwords, MaeLynn passed on to the other side.
These past couple of days she's been having a really hard time breathing. I'm sure the lovely Logan smog has been no help. I talked to her for quite a while last night, and she sounded really rattly.
She was coherent till the very end, and that was a huge blessing. She was always so mortified when she'd find out she'd been doing something crazy.
It's such a blessing for her to finally be out of that constrictive body, but oh how hard to lose such a sweet soul. I guess she's not lost, just gone for a little while. God bless everyone.
I think the funeral will be on Saturday, but I'll let everyone know more details when we have more.

You don't know me, but Maelynn and I went to high school together. She was always an exemplary and Christ-like young lady. What an incredible journey she has had. Thank you for documenting it so righteously so those of us who haven't kept in contact with her for years can know she continued (and still continues on the other side) to be the wonderful and beautiful woman we always knew.
ReplyDeleteYou do not know me..I am so sorry for your loss....I really admired her. God bless you and your family.
ReplyDeleteWow, I just read this whole blog! What an amazing tribute to one of the sweetest people on earth! I was friends with Maelynn in High School, she was a wonderful friend. My thoughts will be with her sweet little family!
ReplyDeleteYou don't know me, but I went to high school with Andy and have been reading about MaeLynn's struggle for a while now. You are all in my heart!
ReplyDeleteBest wishes and condolences to her family and friends. She has been an inspiration to everyone who knew her.
ReplyDeleteGod be with you and your family. Mae will never be forgotten!
ReplyDeleteYou don't know me I happened upon this blog via Patty's about a year ago. I have been following since. I am so sorry for your incredible loss. My thoughts and prayers will be with you and your family. I lost my son 5 years ago and the only thing that got me through that difficult time was the knowledge that I have of eternal families. I know that I will see my son again and I know that you will be with MaeLynn again. In the meantime I pray that Heavenly Father will send his angels to comfort you during this most difficult time.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for documenting this part of Maelynn's life for those of us who have known her and moved away. She is a sweet woman, and we will all miss her very much for a short while.
ReplyDeleteThank you MaeLynn for your life so well lived. You were the first new friend I made in high school so many years ago. I'll never forget you. God bless you and your family.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Laura, for posting this blog for all of us who love MaeLynn.
ReplyDeleteIt was strange to change my prayers yesterday. Praying for Mae has become a ritual in our family. We'll continue to ask for blessings for Andrew and the kids.
