It is absolutely heartbreaking to see Tammy Faye Messner, gravely ill with inoperable lung cancer, in what appears to be final stage of her life. She's a wonderful woman and has been a high-profile Christian who has embraced gay people with love. She will appear on "Larry King Live" tonight in an interview taped Wednesday.
"I talk to God every single day and I say, 'God, my life is in your hands - I trust you completely...I believe when I leave this Earth, because I love the lord, I'm going straight to heaven."
Tammy Faye is receiving hospice care at her new home in Kansas City, Mo. and recently gained five pounds. She is craving a hamburger and fries but "all I eat is chicken soup and rice pudding." She is in pain "all the time" but has asked doctors not to tell her how much time she might have left: "That's in God's hands."
Here is a video clip of the interview:
