Mary’s Fight

https://www.legacy.com/us/obituaries/mcall/name/mary-pope-obituary?id=35993174

Hi everyone. We are heartbroken to say that our very good friend Mary is in a coma. No one knows how this happened, or why. On Sunday night, July 17th, her heart stopped for too long, and her MRI has shown that her brain damage is very severe. Right now, the decision is either to remove life-support or put a trach in, a feeding tube, a tube for her bowels and bladder, etc... to try and get her seizure activity reduced. She could be in a coma for the next three months, but the doctors believe she’s going to remain in a vegetative state. We are hoping that as they reduce the sedative, that nature will take it’s course rather than having to make a decision.

Please consider donating any amount you can to help Mary’s family, and her fiancé Brice, with her medical bills. She is a fierce woman of God, and the friend you call at 3am when you need her. There is nothing we need more than your hope and prayers.

Sincerely,

Her future Maids of Honor:

Autumn Reichard & Emily DeOliveira

UPDATE: 7/22/2022

Hi everyone. Again, thank you SO MUCH to everyone that has donated. Tonight, Mary will spend her last night with us on earth. Her fiancé and immediate family will be by her side. Tomorrow morning, we will allow her to part this world in peace & make her journey to heaven. We have made our goal of $10,000. However, we are now realizing that funeral expenses, along with the transferring of her physical body back to the Lehigh Valley will be more than we thought. If you feel called, please share this post and/or donate any amount you can. But above all, we ask that you keep her & hold her in your thoughts and prayers I will update everyone as soon as funeral services are made final.
