Prayer request

#1 Postby GalvestonDuck » Thu Apr 15, 2004 10:59 am

I just found out that an associate of mine passed away last night. She worked for my boss, but under a different branch of the hospital clinics so she didn't work with me or my coworkers. We only met a few times at meetings so I didn't really know her all that well.

She apparently had a seizure last night while swimming and was taking by ambulance to the ER. I'm told that she'd never had a seizure before. For some unknown reason, they treated and streeted her. She went home and passed away.

I'd like to ask you guys to pray for her family and my boss. Since Patty was solo in that part of the clinic load, it leaves a big gap. A few of you may have already heard me mention that my boss would not be my boss anymore in the next month or so because of IMO some stupid "re-alignment" of the upper rankings. She wears a lot of hats and her bosses felt that it would help lighten her workload, although she didn't feel that way and wanted to remain our manager.

So, in addition to the "re-alignment" and wrecking her car on Good Friday, now she's faced with this sorrow and having to try to fill the gap and find a replacement. I offered to help if I can, but I don't know how things would work out if I took over for Patty, because then our department would be short-staffed. However, if I could, I'd try to help cover both, but there's that whole question of who would my boss be and how we could work that out.

I don't know what's going to happen. I just know that her family and my boss and others will need time to mourn and cope with the loss and they don't need this other difficulty hanging over there heads also.

Thanks!

Rest assured a prayer was given from this keyboard in north Phoenix.....

You're a very compassionate person, Duck, and for that all who know you should be grateful, too.

You're covered from southern California as well, Duckie. I know that she is in a better place right now.
