Speaker 1 (00:01):
Oh, we get it all right.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
We're back on the air. Thanks so much for being
part of our What Matter show. We're live at the
Moose off of at Shrock Road, and we're talking about
it's sometimes a hard topic, but death, and I don't
think people really know exactly what to say to someone
when they're dying unless you've been through it, because it's
a very hard situation. It is hard, Mikayla to say
(00:26):
those final goodbyes because death is so final.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
It is on a physical plane. It is very final
on a physical plane. I've heard it's a very beautiful experience,
or it can be a very beautiful experience when you're
able to be there for someone who is dying.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
And it's two entirely different situations. When my mom was
the last couple of weeks of her life, she had
her family, all of us came around and Pauline, Barbara,
everyone who was so close to her world were in
and out of the doors just to be there with her.
But in the very final seconds of her life, it
was just my mom and myself. I had reached out
(01:04):
to my brother and sister saying, I think this is
going to be it. Please give here, you know, as
soon as you can, and they did, but it wasn't
in time to be with her when she took her
final breath. I was there for her, and I'm so
grateful for that. Well, mister Quartercracks having eight children, he
lost his brother Rob or his son Rob, sorry, Randy's
brother Rob. So there were seven of his kids all
(01:27):
by his bedside, and their spouses and their kids. It
was a house full of people, and that's what he wanted.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Did he go home for hospitality?
Speaker 1 (01:36):
So he went to his daughter Susan's house.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
Okay, he hasn't been living at home home since his
wife Donna died. He didn't really want to go in
there without Donna. So he had been living with his
son Rick, with his daughter Dana, and now at the
end he was with his daughter Susan. So we all
were there and you never know when that exact moment
is going to come.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
But what do you say?
Speaker 2 (01:59):
And if you've been through this, call us up at
six one four, eight, two, one nine, eight eighty six,
talk about those moments.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
You know.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
We had the time where he would look at myself,
he would look at Randy, you know, and he would
see us. Randy, mindy, I love you, Please take good
care of each other.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Family. It's all about family. And he would say how.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Much he loved Jesus, and he would say this to everybody.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
So as sad as it is to say goodbye to
mister K, I'm.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
So glad that that family had those moments where you
could say those final goodbyes. Think of the people who
die in car accidents, who are in spur the moment,
that never get that opportunity to really say goodbye before
their loved one's gone.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
No, and then that's when you hope and have faith
in something greater that they there's something that happens after
we die to our energy. I firmly believe it that
somehow exists and connects with the people that we love.
But no, you don't have that exact same experience if
you die suddenly.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
No you do.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
So I'm so glad that everybody had this opportunity and
what you brought up.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
I wanted to share a story with you.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
So Randy and I and my son went up to
get some sleep, because you never know when it's gonna happen.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
Hospice was there. They were going to keep an eye
on mister K.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
And he has a granddaughter, Alex, who's in healthcare, who's
monitoring everything, administering the morphine everything.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
He's so lucky to have had.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
His grandchildren involved in the healthcare world that could help
along the way. So his sister comes up to the room,
this is about three in the morning and says, Randy.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Dad's his breath is getting spaced out. It could be
any time now.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
So Randy goes back down, and I thought at that
point I'd been with him so much, and I told him,
when you get to heaven, please tell my mom how
much we miss her too. And we talked about the
book The King that I wrote for him and how
glad I was, and he said, thank you, thank you
for telling my story. And I'm so glad that I
wrote that book for him. But anyway, so Randy goes
back down, and I thought, at this point, it's three
(03:54):
in the morning, maybe it's best that just his kids
are there. So I stayed up with Kylon and tried
to get a little bit more sleep.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
So Randy describes this, he.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Was getting ready to take his final breath, and Randy
says to his sisters and his brother Rick, man, wouldn't
it be great like you see in the movies, or
a big shining light beams out of the sky and
you know, you see a cloud just kind of go
up and you see arms reaching out to the air
and to get into that big beam of light, and
(04:25):
they're all like, yeah, that'd be cool, but that's Hollywood.
So not a minute after Randy says that it's dark
in this room. It's like three point thirty four in
the morning.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
And the lights are dim because of what he's going through.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Right, absolutely, there's no lights in there. All of a
sudden the TV comes on and it lights up the
whole room and it turns on to the Rosary Catholic
song channel that mister k used to listen to.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Out of the.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Blue, and someone thought, well, Kayla, one of the granddaughters,
was there, did she roll over on the remote? No,
someone pointed out the remote still all the way over there.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
No one was near the remote.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Why at that instance did that beam of light come
from the TV playing mister Kay's favorite channel reciting the
Rosary and Christian Catholic music.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
If those of you listening could see my face right now,
I am just.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Awd and so was Randy, who had just said, wouldn't
that be neat if there was some beam of light.
You want that so much. We all want to believe
in heaven, right, we all want to believe that there
is something better. I feel sorry, Mikaela for the people
who don't.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
You don't believe that faith, who don't believe.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
It's very difficult to face death if you don't have
that faith. I think it's very difficult because you think
of it as the final chapter. It is the final
chapter here on earth. But if you don't have faith
that there is a heaven, you think that this is
it and we go into this black void where there's
nothing else. And I just don't think there's evidence for that.
I think there is evidence that there is something greater
(05:56):
with our energy.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
And you believe that, you know, if you have that
strong thing and that strong belief, that is what we
want to believe. But imagine being this community of Putnam
County in Kelleida, Ohio, where this man coached for fifty
six years, the winningest coach in the history of high
school basketball, eight hundred ninety wins. There had to have
(06:18):
been people like this in your life. And Rebecca, I
know you were on the line, and I think we
don't have her anymore because we were talking so much.
But callback we want to put anyone on the line.
If you have a comment about coach k or any
coach or educator in your life, you mentioned one in
your own life, there's two.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
And since we're getting Rebecca, yeah, call us back and
getting to break, So there's one in particular.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Her name was Cindy Kramer. She's still alive.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
It's amazing to see her daughter, who is a baby.
When she coached our drill team and I was captain
and co captain of that drill team my junior senior year.
She had such an important part in me growing through
high school and being a leader and creating things right,
creating choreography and such. I mean, if I didn't have
(07:07):
that basis with missus Kramer, I don't know what I
would have. And I wasn't like a classically trained dancer.
I love to dance, I'm pretty good at it, but
I didn't. I hadn't taken all the classes, you know
what I mean. And she had this great background in dance,
and we just all felt very unified and going to
compete at you know, regionals and state super sectionals.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
She just was always.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
She was just the right person that we needed to
hold us accountable and make sure we were sharp, but
at the same time show us how to lead.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
In our own lives.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Educators, coaches, let us know the ones that made a
difference in your own life. The other thing we want
to talk about signs. What signs have you noticed for
those of who have lost loved ones, Please call us
up and share them with us. Six one four eight
two one nine eight eighty six six one four eight
two one nine eight eight six. Mikayla and I can
both share a story from the psychic when we talked
(08:00):
to her a while back.
