THANK-YOU EVERYONE

The family would like to extend our deepest thank-you to all of our friends and family though out the past 5 months. You have all been great. Visits,calls,cards and most importantly prayer have made it easier for all of us. The vistation and funeral were a success. The funeral was the best most people had ever been to, including myself. Thanks for your prayers as my Eulogy was also a success. Many people had commented that would be proud if their son could say the same thing about them after they pass.

Thanks again,
Tim and the Wolters Family

God is good. Please continue to pray for healing for the family and especially Mom as it is very lonely now.

Peace be with you my good servant

God has taken his good and faithful servant home:) I have fought the good fight,I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. 2 Timothy 4:7.

Tuesday Update

DAD has been very comfortable the past day and a half. The medicines have definitely relaxed and comforted him. His kidneys have shut down and we are seeing a definite decline in his skin color.His heart rate and pulse rate are very sporatic. The nurses have said that Dad is young and has a good heart + has eated well while in Hospice care and may live for a while yet.I have returned to a limited work schedule each day to take my mind off of this a little. Please pray for strength for the family as the days are long and tiresome while at the Hospice House.Mom is just exhausted but the 2 of us had a great nights sleep this past evening. God is good and his plan is perfect. We just pray that Dads journey can end soon. I have been having a hard time keeping this updated as the Hospice House does not have internet access. I will keep you all posted. I am sure most all of you will be contacted by phone as well after Dad passes away. The Holland Sentinal, Lakeshore Press and GR Press will also have all the visitation/funeral details later. Thanks to all who have called and continue to think and pray for the family.

Love,
Tim

Sunday night update

Dad has been declining rapidly the past few days. He can no longer swallow or talk. He has a terrible jurgling sound in his throat which they are trying to help dry up as well. We continue to be by his side conforting him now as everything hurts. It is so hard to see him like this. Boy has the reality of death really finally hit me. Why do I have to see my Dad suffer. He doesn't deserve this. Please pray that Dad can be comforted and that his suffering doesn't have to linger much longer. Gods plan is perfect and only he knows when his good and faithful servant will be taken home.
I have to go now as Mom and I will sleep at Hospice House by Dad tonight.

Love Tim

Pray for Comfort in these last moments

Dads heart rate and pulse are dropping. He is saying his last good byes before he is taken to his heavenly father. Please pray for comfort for Dad and the family in his these final moments.

Sunday night/Monday morning update

Dad is declining steadily. We have really seen a decline this week. His appetite is down and he is sleeping most of the time. His ankles and feet are very swollen and he is harder to understand do to a sore throat. Please pray for comfort and the Calling Home. Last night he also experienced extreme pain after adjusting and moving his left knee. Please pray for continued strength and sleep for Mom during these last days. Thanks again to all for your continued prayers,thoughts and support.

Love Tim

Dreams of Heaven

Dad had wonderful dreams of heaven last evening and then he awoke again. It was a sad morning as he had seen how beautiful it was and then he had to return to his weak body. Dads pain has been taken care of now with the pain killers. His appetite is slowly going down and his swelling is continuing in the feet and legs. Continue to pray for the family and healing during this difficult time. Mom is feeling very sad and lonely while at the house. Lord please give us the strength and knowledge to know how to handle this all.

Tim
