[Magdalen] Brudder Jon

[Molly Wolf]

From Dawn Tish:

Jon is getting near the end now. Hospice said he could go at any time and seems to be hanging on to hear someone's voice or to reach Christmas, but it's doubtful he will be able to do the latter. His breathing is rapid, shallow, and labored. He is running a fever. His vital signs are all over the place. There is mottling of his skin and his extremities are cold. His son, Philip is driving in from MN and should be here tonight. Pray God he goes peacefully and quickly and painlessly for his sake. Becca and I are hanging in there.
