Hugs, prayers and safe travels friend.

Just so sorry, so very sorry. A wee bit stunned and can't think - even though I know that there really are no words. Sending prayers from my neck of the woods and hugs to all. May the Lord give you His grace and His comfort.

Godspeed to him! Sending hugs and warm thoughts of sympathy to you and your husband!

They walk beside us every day,
Unseen, unheard, but always near,
Still loved, still missed and very dear."


So sorry for your loss...

So sorry. Travel safely. We'll still be here when you are ready to return!

You all will be in my thoughts and prayers. I hope you have a safe journey up north. Hugs to you my friend.

Lovely words Hulk :)

Such a sad loss for your family. May he be remembered well, and often.

Wishes for safe travel and heart healing going with you.

I lost a dear friend earlier this month and this was recited as a graveside prayer:

When my sun of life is low,
When the dewey shadows creep,
Say for me before I go,
Now I lay me down to sleep.

Wothing more to doubt or dare,
Nothing more to give or keep,
Say for me the children's prayer,
Now I lay me down to sleep.

Who has learned along life's way,
Be it primrose Path or a stoney steep,
More of wisdom than just to say,
Now I lay me down to sleep

Now, we lay Bill down to sleep,
We pray the Lord, his soul to keep.

Oh Joann, Prayers to you and your husband and the whole family. I'm so sorry for your loss.

When my mom passed away last year we had this poem printed on her prayer cards:

I am standing upon the seashore. A ship at my side spreads her white sails to the morning breeze and starts for the blue ocean. She is an object of beauty and strength. I stand and watch her until at length she hangs like a speck of white cloud just where the sea and the sky come to mingle with each other.
Then someone at my side says: "There, she is gone!"
"Gone where?"
Gone from my sight. That is all. She is just as large in the mast and hull and spar as she was when she left my side and she is as able to bear her load of living freight to her destined port.
Her diminished size is in me, not in her. And just at the moment when someone at my side says, "There, she is gone!" there are other eyes watching her coming, and other voices ready to take up the glad shout: "Here she comes!"
And that is dying.
Henry Van Dyke

I hope these words bring some small comfort. You are loved.

So sorry for your loss, sweetie. Sending your hugs and prayers.

Oh Miss Joann! I am so sorry that I missed this news, I have been a bit MIA on the blogs this week. I am sorry for the loss of your father in law. It sounds like he had a rich and full life and that is the best that any of us can hope for. Know that we are each praying for your peace in this time of sadness. And this is precisely why I always say, "Every day may not be good but there is something good in every day." Find your 'something good' and celebrate it.
Enjoy the day.

Oh Joann, I'm so sorry. Please give hugs all around for your family. Having just been through all of this, my heart hurts for your husband and the rest of Grandpa's loved ones.

I feel like the most horrible friend and a terrible person that I have been missing in action and completely missed all of this.

I'm so sorry.

Hugs and prayers.
