Dear Godfrey J Gonsalves Margoa Goa This member of Canada Mrs Evarista Sequeira has passed away on Teusday 16th 05
Deails are as follows 21st August 05 Dear friends Saying good bye is never easy for all of us, but for me this was an unexpected passing away of Eva. I would like to tell u exactly what had happened as I know u would be eager. She was very keen, had a strong desire on visiting places so, we got our American visa, & our first visit was to the states. For 4 days we went to N.York, N.Jersey , Washington DC. Baltimore Pennsylvania, Atlantic city saw the Twin Towers tragedy, Empire state Bldg, she was extremely happy. Then on 13th she was complaining that her left hand was paining & uneasiness set in, she vomited couple of times & the whole day she slept, although asking if she wanted to go to the doctor she said Our Lady will look after me because we were to go on a pilgrimage. On the 13th Sat. we went to a pilgrimage to Lady of Fatima, at Buffalo Lady of Lourdes at Ohio Cleaveland St. Patrick Cathedral came back on Sun. On the whole trip she was perfectly ok, Mon the 15th she was fine, no complaints. On the 16th she got up early did all the cooking she never complained afternoon played with Ethan our grandson, in the evening she came down to make some sandwiches as usual for our son who goes on night shifts & we r both standing there Liza had just come from work suddenly I saw her eyes turn & head turning & before I went to catch her she had just collapsed on the ground, I threw some water thinking she had fainted she shook her head & started groaning, finding it difficult to breathe, then immediately I started pumping her heart in the mean time Liza called 911 for the ambulance they came gave her the first aid & took her to the hospital. As she was in the hands of Liza at home she said I think I m going to die. We thought she would recover but the doctor said that they tried everything but the heart could not recover. The doctor diagonised it as PULMONARY CLOT This is something that develops somewhere around the waist side of the body due to prolonged sitting which Eva was in the habit, because she could not walk her legs used to pain very badly so she seldom did any walking. Then at some point of time that clot suddenly shoots up in the body & one can never say where it will lodge itself. For her it lodged in the lungs where the lungs found it difficult to pump the blood from one side to the other.& to the heart, they even tried to put a tube down in the lungs & but the clot was the obstacle & that was the cause of her death. One consolation was that she didnt fall paralyzed on the bed & the Lord was merciful to take her away peacefully. I am grateful to God, although the pain is unbearable. Please pass this message to all the friends that was known to Eva. Loving husband Walter You could continue to send ur mail to the mail add u have with u
