A Message about Jean Heimann
To Jean’s readers: My name is Judy Phelps, and I am a friend of Jean’s. I am writing this to give you an update about the many things that have changed in Jean’s life recently.
Jean’s beloved husband, Bill, died on February 16th. He had heart surgery to address a valve problem, and unfortunately developed bleeding in the following days, and the doctors were not able to save him.
Upon visiting Jean the day after Bill’s death, another friend from church and I became quickly aware that Jean was not in a condition to take care of herself. It became apparent that Bill had been her caregiver and, with him gone, she would need extensive help. Over the next two months, it was determined by her doctors that Jean would need long-term care. We found a very nice retirement community for her with all levels of care. The graciousness of the staff is amazing, and we visit her constantly and are certain she is receiving the best care possible.
I wanted to let her loyal readers know that she will not be able to blog any more. She has suffered a sharp mental decline, possibly accelerated by her chemo treatments of last Fall. I ask all her prayer warriors out there to pray for her and for the soul of Bill.
[N. B. I plan to move the Catholic Fire blog back to Google Blogspot where it lived for many years, so that Jean’s devoted work will still be available to readers. Once the new-old blog is ready, I’ll post an announcement here and invite you all to visit the restored blog. — Lisa Nicholas, webmaster]
Prayers for Jean going up. So very sad to hear about her husband and her sharp decline. Praying God will bless her with peace and comfort the remainder of her time here on this earth and holy angels to travel with her into eternity when her time comes. God bless you my friend.
