Barbara ’s Story

Site created on March 5, 2021

Mom started having a fever and feeling unwell 2/18/21.  On 2/20/21 was diagnosed with covid. With mom's asthma and other comorbidities, mom has progressively gotten worse and was intubated 2/28/21.  We can not see her until 21 days out contingent on her being symptom free. We need prayers and support. My mom is a very selfless, beautiful person that we desperately pray will completely heal. Thank you for visiting.

Journal entry by Amanda Matson

My sweet, selfless, beautiful, fun, amazing mom went to heaven last night. 

Please, we beg you, take covid seriously, mom definitely wanted that to be communicated to all. This disease is from the pits of hell for the patient and families. I had to basically call hospital administration and be very assertive and pushy, just to see my dying mother.  Please be careful and selfless and try hard to wear a mask,.wash hands, get the vaccine. 

Please still call us, check on us, send us uplifting or funny things etc. If you knew my mom, you know what a tremendous loss this is. She was one of the most selfless people who would move mountains for the people she loved. Our hearts are breaking please don't stop checking on all her family and friends. 

Your support and prayers have kept us going. We can't thank you enough. Mom would feel so loved. Love you all.

PS.
If anyone wants to see a picture of mom and me the day before she died- private message me. It isn't pretty, but it's where I told her how much I loved her, God loves her, and told her it's ok to be done fighting. She fought so incredibly hard. 

PSS

Please post photos or stories of mom on here if you have any
