In February 2007, the family was tragically kept apart by hospital staff for eight hours as Pond's condition deteriorated and she died. Surviving partner Janice Langbehn was told that she was in an antigay city and state and that she could expect to receive no information or acknowledgment as family. Staff Attorney Beth Littrell says, “The court’s decision paints a tragically stark picture of how vulnerable same-sex couples and their families are during times of crisis.” Lambda Legal has until October 16 to review the ruling with the family and consider all legal options.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/AE6C87BE-36D6-48AA-B0F4-2D937B6E1EEC/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
