She also talked about how traumatic it was not being able to see a loved one in the hospital.
Even when he was having trouble breathing he said, Tell everyone I love them and Ill see them when I wake up, Lori Bryant wrote, pleading for urgent prayer from the congregation.
At least they believe he lives on.

(66,467 posts)"God. I believed in you. I prayed to You that thing whole thing be a hoax, and that if it isn't, You would protect me. Why did You let this happen?"

Why didn't you listen? Why are you even here?"
