Thanks all. I will try to update again tomorrow sometime if I can find out anything. This is a relatively small town, so someone will know something.

Praying.
The power of a prayer chain is just amazing. Word traveling around the country and even abroad in such a short time and prayers going up. All for someone none of know. Awesome!

I heard today that Steven is still not conscious. He is on life support now. I did find out his last name, but for privacy, will not post that information. He is in his early 40's. I still do not know for sure if he has a family or children. They are still saying it is not looking good for him.

Greetings All,
This post carries with it a heavy burden in that Steven may be at this time, ready for his transition. Early in this post, WBF stated that he had an aneurysm. The events she describes indicates to me that the aneurysm may have ruptured spontaneously (as they are prone to do and often at the early age she describes). With very few exceptions, such an event is almost uniformly fatal to the human body. When it is not immediately fatal, the devastation is often so great that it eventually becomes fatal but causes the owner of the body to suffer immeasurably while waiting for the Angel of Death to finally return and relieve them of such a burden of suffering.
As we all know "To everything there is a time and a purpose under heaven" for all events in our lives both individually and collectively. This particular event is no exception and represents one of the more spectacular events of this type. To my way of thinking, and at times I find myself alone in some ways, this particular event represents the almost certain witnessing of a visit by the Angel of Death to Steven. It is not common for us to witness such an event and often such a visit is made in the privacy of just the person being visited. We do not often understand how the AOD is assigned or how he chooses to make his visit known, but often it is in a most distressing manner to those of us who are NOT on his list for that day.
Such a visit is the providence of the higher powerwhich rules and guides us all and who will have the final say as to when we are to be "gathered to our fathers" in the manner so prescribed. Unfortunately, we are never really given any volition as to the manner of this visit except in situations of suicide where we "take the law into our own hands" and violate that sacred trust of the ownership of a life form here on earth.
As a result, we often attempt to alter the course of events that have been set into motion by our Supreme Architect and HIS appointed subordinates. It is therefore important for us to remember that when we pray for another individual, that we pray for what is best and chosen for them rather than what we would choose for ourselves, assuming we have the ability to understand such a decision. Often, we are asked to pray for another and it "is meet and right so to do" but it is also important to remember that we should pray for what is best for the soul of the person for whom we pray. It may be that our intentions are not always in the same direction of the intentions of the choices made by the Supreme Architect of the Universe with respect to the best thing for the person in question. Often we pray for the recovery of the person to life, not always recognizing that return to life after such a devastating destruction to the human "machine" such as a ruptured aneurysm, is often worse than the transition to the next life.
Often in my life's work, I have seen the effects of prayer to keep someone alive, who for all intents and purposes would have passed peacefully into the next life with ease were it not for the inability of those in this life to allow the person to "go" as chosen by the higher power. Sometimes we fear the resulting sense of abandonment by that person on whom we depend for something. We may act to some extend selfishly because of our own sense of fear and loss. The result can be that the maintenance of the human body after so severe a destruction is a most unsatisfying experience for not only the owner of the body but those who are required to maintain the body's functions when the owner is completely unable to do so independently and life not only has no quality but is unbelievably miserable. The power of prayer is unquestioned and should therefore be used judiciously and appropriately for what is best for the person in question, rather than what we might perceive as what we would choose for ourselves.
When asked how we should pray, a wise carpenter once told us to use these words "...THY will be done on earth as it is in heaven". It is to that phrase that I direct your attention and ask that we pray for Steven according to the WILL of G*d rather than what we would have for ourselves. Allow Steven to proceed as his soul is intended to do and when we pray, we ask that what is best for Steven be considered rather than what is best for us.
I had the opportunity to read part of the book "Heaven is for real" the other day and I must tell you that if you have not read it, it will bring things to light in your life and eye that may not have been there before. I do encourage you to read that book and think about what it tells you. It will probably change your entire perspective on this question and bring clarity to your questions about what is now and what we await in the future.
So in closing, I ask that when you pray, you pray for what is best for Steven's soul rather than what is best for your own.

Very well said, Icu4dzs. I am praying Gods will and peace for the affected family members. It appears very much as if Steven will not make it. While sad, it is all a part of life. I would advise everyone to tell your family you love them as often as you can. This happened FAST, and was a hard thing to have seen. He had no time to tell his mom, who was standing right beside him, that he loved her, as she helplessly watched her son fade. Very very sad circumstances in a place as benign as WalMart, on a normal day, just out doing some shopping....... We never know when our time has come.
