Just got a call from another TNDeer member. Their across the street neighbor just collapsed at home, sounds likely he will not survive.
His wife is out of state at the moment, but a teen and upper-elementary kid are home, with no family around. Our brother member is stepping in, but scrambling in the "what now" mode.
Prayers appreciated all around!

The father did pass away. Mom's in Indiana. Kids went to hospital to see their dad one more time, and some folks from their church-- thank goodness they had one-- we're there, so I think the kids are handed off. TNDeer member still trying to help mom get here pronto.

Gotcha man, thanks.
Sounds like an extended family member showed up yesterday evening to be with the kids, so that was a blessing. Maybe that had some Godspeed boosting from all your all's prayers. Thanks, guys. What a life-changer for that little family.

In case you're wondering, that was me. And thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the prayers. The family who is going through this is still very much in need of them so any that you can share would be much appreciated.
To give you an idea of the chain of events, I returned home from an out-of-town meeting on Thursday afternoon to find a bevy of police cars and a fire truck in my culdesac. I intended to walk over to the officers but they were making their way toward me first. The neighbors who live across the street are in their early 50s and have three young boys (10, 15, 20). The mom and their eldest son had gone up to Indiana a few days earlier to visit a dying relative (cancer) so the Dad was watching the two youngest sons. Low and behold the 15 year old heard a thud and found his dad lying on the bathroom floor. The paramedics arrived as quickly as they could and rushed him to the emergency room. The police then contacted the mom in Indiana (who was in hysterics) and since they have no family around she instructed the officers to send the boys to my house. Here I was given custody of 10 and 15 year old boys whose Dad was just rushed away in an amulance. When I asked the officer what to do, he looked me in the eye and said, "I really dont know what to tell you but I don't think the Dad is going to make it." I was finally able to reach the mom via phone whose hysterics amplified when she gave me the gut-wrenching news that her husband didn't make it. There I stood with two young boys, with no mother around, and their dad had just passed away. Trust me, Jesus put knee-braces on me that day to keep my knees from buckling. I had to hand my phone over to the boys as their mom explained to them what was going on. As you could imagine, it's nothing anyone would ever want to experience. I then had to drive the boys to the hospital so they could see their Dad one last time. It truly was an utterly heartbreaking experience.
Please keep that family in your prayers.
