On behalf of Arthur Bryan Molina and family

Dearest friends and family, my amazing, loving and wonderful husband Arthur Bryan Molina lost his life.after a long andl torturous battle to survive.   After contracting COVID then MERSA, for two long years he fought hard spending 97% of his time in hospitals and care facilities. 3 weeks ago, we rejoiced his homecoming after a 5 month stay overcoming an intestinal infection known as C Diff and a new diagnosis of gastric parisis.  Though they believed him well enough to be home he was very frail.  He caught a respiratory virus and in his state it hit him very hard.  He was quite ill and I encouraged him to go back to the hospital but he refused.  The thought of going back to what he described as the loneliest place in the Universe was too much for him.  So against my pleadings postponed the trip to the ER until morning.  He said he just  wanted to be in his own bed with his wife one more night. This was not to be.  In the dark I felt him struggling so jumped up to call for help.  I was getting him up to meet paramedics and he whispered to me "No, no no, Im not going" to which I replied NONSENSE! .  I struggled getting his pants up and we fell to the bed.  He patted my head and then he said to me, "I love you more than anything Brookie" and just then stopped breathing.  I ran to get the paramedics now at my door  and we rushed him to the hospital.   After exhausting every possible medical and spiritual effort  to save him, the doctors were confident he would not recover with any quality of life.  I know my husband would not want to live in the state of suspension he was in and so with the support of my children and his mother, I made the excruciating  painful decision to remove life support and he peacefully passed away on April 7th at 11:22 pm.   I am grateful for the few days we had for my family to say goodbye and I know he isn't suffering anymore.  I was not sufficiently prepared for his passing and am facing  funeral and memorial expense and extra medical costs I cannot meet alone  so am humbly asking for your help.    Any help you can provide to assist me and his children to face the financial challenges will be more than appreciated. The prayers and love you have given me rhis last two years  has been the strength that kept me going.  Thank you for your consideration and God bless.  Please feel free to share the link.  I love you all.
