In Memory of Cheryl Lynn Young (James)

A few weeks back I get a call and my sister left me a few messages saying she was going to the doctors and probably getting admitted to the hospital. I really didn't think anything of it since I knew some things going on with her lately. I called her back and she was resting in her hospital bed. The doctors wanted to run some tests and it looked as if she was going to go home at the end of the week. Well the weekend came and went and she was still in the hospital. Then I get a call from my brother in law and Cheryl was moved to ICU. Things were going downhill fast. Her family made it to Indiana in time to talk to her, even her 3 yr old niece got to see her and tell her she loved her. What was really neat was how God worked in this situation. The day we left MD to drive to IN my sister was in kidney failure and even the nurses said it wasn't looking too good, but God sustained her life long enough for her whole family to see her and fellowship with her. Another awesome event was that she was moved from ICU to another floor where visitation wasn't restricted so Cheryl got to see and talk to her niece. After that there was a great sense of peace in my heart and come to find out the rest of my family was feeling this too. We knew Cheryl would be with the Lord soon. A few days later her husband and his family were in Cheryl's hospital room and she peacefully left this earth to be with the Lord. All of us thank God for Cheryl's life and the time we have had to know her, love her, and fellowship in the Lord with her.
