Michelle told the news outlet that she was there by her husband’s side “till the end” as he fought for his life at CHI Saint Luke’s Health in The Woodlands.
“[W]e still had our prayer at that site, even though the doctors had said he’s already on his way out,” Michelle said.
“His last words was, ‘you know, I love you, I love you, see you later ... if I don’t make it, know that I put up a good fight’, he said I put up a good fight, and ‘I want you to know that I love you, and I will always love you and remember you.’”
Earlier, on July 31, Michelle told The Epoch Times that David was on a ventilator and also on an ECMO machine, the equipment for cardiac and respiratory support. Michelle said she used to write her beloved husband a letter every morning and evening and then fax it to the hospital.
She said that nurses would read the letters to David, and a nurse called her up from his room every day and put the phone to his ear so that Michelle could talk, pray, and read the bible to him while he was in a coma.
In September, Michelle and David would have been married for 10 years, and the family with five children would have celebrated David’s 54th birth anniversary.
Michelle told FOX 26 that though she tested positive for the virus in June, she showed no symptoms. Her husband had tested negative, but when he began developing COVID-19 signs, he was tested again and was found positive.
David’s health gradually deteriorated before he passed away after being hospitalized for more than a month.
The couple’s battle with the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, commonly known as the novel coronavirus, touched many hearts after news media reported on their firm faith and taking challenges head-on.
“[People] got a lot of hope from David’s story. You know, and at the end of this, I didn’t feel angry ... Do not lose your hope,” she told the news outlet.
“Even if your loved one is at the brink of death, or they have survived, or they have passed on like David, hold onto that faith.”
