Jeromy's mom Teresa

Jeromy's mom, Teresa, Passed away last night.

It was kind of sudden. She has had some health issues in the last few years, but she was only 51 years old.

So far as we know she stopped breathing sometime early Wednesday morning. Her boyfriend called 911, the doctors said she went into cardiac arrest and was without oxygen for approx 30 minutes. She was in a coma when they revived her. After a day of testing, the results showed that she had zero brain activity with some heart and kidney damage.

With Teresa being single, and Jeromy being the oldest child, he had to make the difficult decision. He knew his mom would not want to live as a vegetable. And all the other family- they have a HUGE family- all agreed with that. So after giving all friends and family a chance to come say goodbye, at 3:45pm yesterday, life support was pulled.

Right after that, with a room full of family members at Teresa's side, Jeromy gave a prayer, thanking God for her time here on earth, that only He knew her destiny at this point, and thanking his mom for the good in her life that she passed on to him and everyone else. There wasn't a dry eye in the room. There's something about seeing your strong husband get choked up. I love him so much.

Teresa never woke up from her coma. She breathed on her own until about 6pm last night and then passed away.

Again, Jeromy being the oldest son, he had to make the next difficult decision. But Teresa's sister Tammy was there providing great support for him... and him for her as well.

He's taking care of all the details. Thankfully he has off all next week (Thanksgiving) so he's able to take care of alot of things at his mom's house.
