In Memoriam

I hope Ana does not mind but I am just pasting her message, I couldn't have said this any better.

Folks,
It is with a heavy heart that I write to you all to let you know Carol Nagy passed away early this morning in Lakeland, FL, about 7am, 17 Feb 2008, died in her sleep.

Several months ago she was diagnosed with lung cancer and immediately set to work doing what she was famous for, saving animals. She had a house full of doggies that had come from some very tough situations and she wanted to make sure they were placed in homes that could handle their special needs.
Keri Eckert her daughter was right there with her mom, helping her fulfill her dying wish. Kari set everything aside to help her mom get through this final stage in her life. Carol struggled to stay alive in hopes of seeing all her animals find new homes, a rescuer to the very end.

She had 6 dogs left when she was placed in the hospital in Tampa in January. We were able to set up transport to get 2 moved to PA & WV. That left 4 doggies, 2 of them very special needs. Then about a week ago, I was fortunate enough to talk with Carol, and let her know we had two transports in place, to move the other 4 to there new homes, that it would all be happening this coming Friday, 22 Feb. This was the news she so desperately needed to hear to have peace. That evening she began to fade quickly.

Carol was moved back from the VA Hospital in Tampa, to hospice in Lakeland just a few minutes from her home this past Wednesday. We managed to post the final run sheet for the last 2 dogs yesterday morning. Keri, her daughter, was able to take the copy and show her mom that the last 2 were definitely on their way. Carol finally had peace to move on and she did just that early this morning.

About 4 yrs ago I met Carol when we both were involved in rescuing doxies. Carol did much more than doxies. She helped rescue and transport for every breed of dog and cat, and she was heavily involved in saving many lives through 3 major hurricanes, Hurricane Charlie (Punta Gorda, FL area), Hurricane Ivan (Panhandle, AL & FL – Mobile, AL to Crawfordville, FL area) and Hurricane Katrina (all MS & LA coast). She moved animal, equipment, food, and lots of hope. She continued on until a few of month ago, when Carol’s health began to fail due to cancer. Carol opened up her arms and gave a home to those who were left without hope, including the human kind.

Kari was supposed to move this weekend into her mom home, since maintaining two homes with no income coming in was a huge burden, and now with a few more little doggies to help, she adopted some of her mom’s pets also. Sadly Kari’s move was delayed until this next Thurs, for very obvious reasons. Kari needs our help now more than ever to get through this very difficult time in her life. Let her know how very special her mom Carol was to all of us and how many lives she touched.

Carol is being cremated.

Thursday Prayer Requests

Beth's Mom, she is 79 yrs old & has been battling an upper respiratory infection/cold , she was feeling weak and having 'flu-like' symptoms.
They took her into the hospital Monday & found she had blown a hole in her heart on Saturday & was bleeding internally.
She had 12 hours worth of surgery & is in an induced coma right now, her heart has been beating out of normal rhythm and her lungs still have quite a bit of mucus.
Please pray for her, we are pretty sure she is a Christian but if not please pray GOD provide the opportunity for a witness in the ICU ,for her & her family and that GOD heal this woman' s heart & lungs.


My brother's fiancee's son and his wife is expecting a baby girl in March the baby will die within a few minutes after it is born because it doesn't have any pulmonary arteries and there isn't anything that the doctors can do.
I talked to her a few days ago and the expecting parents had been sent to a specialist and he confirmed what they had been told earlier. There still isn't anything that can be done to save this precious baby except for a miracle.
My brother just lost his son back in July and our dad passed away a little over a year ago.
Please pray that our wonderful and awesome God forms the arteries that this baby needs and that it lives a long life.
Thanks,
Donna

Change in format

I have decided to keep this blog but change it's purpose. Some of you know I have a group of friends, family, co-workers who I contacted a few years back to pray for a dear friends mother who was battling cancer. She is doing great by the way.

This started as a simple request from her son for me to pray for his mother, I went through my email address' and contacted everyone I knew that would be willing to pray for her. This email group is called "Prayer Warriors", over the years they have continued to receive emails with prayer requests, most of them don't know the person requesting the prayer, sometimes they do. The only requirement is that they prayed for those whom GOD led them to pray, they did not have to pray for everyone unless they felt led to do so. Anyone could send a request to be prayed for it didn't matter what the subject.

These warriors are from different denominations and while some live nearby in Florida, others live across this country.
Men & women who believe that they are called to pray on behalf of someone that is hurting. A few know each other because they are co-workers & friends, some are friends that started as my customers, others I have not even met myself but they requested prayer or asked to become a member.

Over these last few years I have had 2 computer hard drives crash so I have lost member address' (they are as a group so no individual name is seen) and I could not remember everyone in that original group of over 100 people.

If you would like to become a prayer warrior or have a request please email me anytime. If you don't mind sharing the request I will post as much or as little of the information on this blog as you would like me to post. I just ask that you keep us updated on your requests as they can be encouraging to those who are praying.

Blessings 2 U my friends.
