Bobbie Jean’s Story

Site created on July 28, 2012

Posted: 07 APR 2018


Six short Years since Open Heart Bypass Surgery, recovery & return to work ... Mom retired from JCPennys on 01MAY2017 after 19 years with the company. She settled into a relaxed, retired routine, challenging herself to walk as many times around the culdesac as she could each day. THEN winter set in and each day has been so cold here in Missouri that she began to get cabin fever ... SO ... we took a week long vacation in and around Las Vegas. She walked more around the strip an Red Rocks area than I ever expected.



But on Thursday morning 05 APR 2018 Coni found our her unresponsive, aspirating & convulsing this morning.


She is in ICU now on a breathing tube, and monitors ... all other vitals appear normal but she has remained unresponsive to even the sound of our voices. I returned home from a three day around 13:00 shortly after an EEG had been done this afternoon - awaiting results.


They simply are not sure what has caused this and are waiting for her to come out of it. All this following a week long Vegas vacation in February ❣️


Prayers Please❤️🙏🏻<

Subject: Our Return to Saint Louis following Reunion



Good Evening All ...



This is Forrest Blake (son of Bobbie Jean Webster-Blake) Writing this evening to express to each of you, on behalf of my Mom, what a wonderful evening we had at the Mullins High 63rd Reunion this weekend.


We took our time driving back to Saint Louis, spending one night in Boone, NC & one night in Nashville, TN. We arrived to our home in Saint Louis on Tuesday Evening around 4:pm ... Mom was understandably exhausted and retired for the evening around 9:pm ... She awoke around 10:30pm exhibiting all the "classic" symptom's of a pending heart attach, so we checked in at the ER ... Several hours & test later, they have decided to do Angioplasty tomorrow morning (Thursday 26 July)



She is shaken & concerned but full of energy & resting well as she relies on the Lord to carry her through this rather routine procedure.



I remember Kenneth Gasque recommending a "prayer group" of high school friends as you mentioned the many friends who are currently experiencing physical/medical challenges. It was at that time that I thanked God for Good Friends & the bonds there share & carry through life.



Please keep my Mom (Bobbie Jean Webster) in your thoughts & prayers this evening & throughout the coming days.



Thank You & God Bless ... Blake

Journal entry by Forrest A Blake

“When I was a little boy and the devil would call my name, I’d say “now who do … who do you think you’re foolin’?” My momma loves me, she loves me, she gets down on her knees and hugs me. She loves me like a rock, she loves me like the rock of ages, and she loves me” 💔On this day, one year ago today … my dear mother slipped from my side on our walk through this life’s journey, seeking her own “Rock of Ages”, landing safely within the ever loving arms of God. 😢Tho the sad filled days have waned, the empty void within my heart still remains. Easter reminds me that there is comfort in the assurances of her salvation, so I silently whisper, “It is well, it is well with my soul”.  Slowly the tender memories of her sweet, unconditional love for me and the faith and nurturing which she poured over me, begin to fill the empty cold within and a softly a warm colorful song of admiration and appreciation for a life well lived remains, while my heart cries out: “Mom” ❣️“God be with you till we meet again; Neath His wings protecting hide you; Daily manna still provide you; God be with you till we meet again, Till we meet at Jesus feet, God be with you till we meet again”. <><
