She was always smiling, helping others, driving family and friends to their appointments, was the best cook, and just always putting others before herself.. She was the oldest of 8 from a small Catholic farm in Iowa and continued with the big family herself. She was a mother to 4 children and 13 grandchildren.. She lived a truly blessed life and that we are grateful for.. Susie, her husband Steve, her sister and brother in law went to visit their other two sisters in TX on Friday for a long weekend. Saturday morning, Susie was found unresponsive. EMT'S arrived and were able to revive her. Dr's say she had sleep apnea and her body filled with carbon dioxide and caused cardiac arrest. No heart attack thankfully. She was on a ventilator. There was brain damage but did not know how much. She was having seizures from not enough oxygen. They had to to sedate her and keep her comfortable. We were just waiting for an MRI to see what part of the brain was damaged. As of then, her heart was beating on it's own. When it was finally time for an MRI, it showed she did have a stroke and severe brain damage. At that point, the Dr's said it was time to remove the ventilator.. Do to a laps in life insurance, the family is not in a position to cover these expenses.. As if a funeral isn't hard enough financially and emotionally for the kids and grandkids, the transport fee back to Iowa is extensive.. Any kind of help would be greatly appreciated. God bless! = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
