Richard, I'm so sorry for your loss...
Be comforted in the fact that you will see her again.
God bless.


"Though He slay me, still I will trust Him"

Job 13:15

 

Sympathies for your loss Richard.
Look forward to the time when you will be together with her again.

 

Richard, words will probably never be enough, especially from someone like me who doesn't have the best ways with words, and stay pretty quite.

But I was absolutely "floored" when I read your latest update...I am terribly sorry for your loss, and you and your family will continue to be in my prayers. I can only assume it will be tough, but reaching out has to be one of the first steps. Keep the faith brother.

 

Richard I am so sorry for your loss. (Big Hugg Brother) I am sure God has blessed her soul and she is in heaven now.
You and your family are in my prayers.

 

My deepest sympathy Richard. May God comfort in this time of loss.

 

I can only say our deepest sympathy from all of us. God Bless and may your heart be hole again soon.

Chet & Barbara

Just thought I would share the poem that Neal sent me.

"SONG OF THE RIVER"

The snow melts on the mountain
And the water runs down to the spring,
And the spring in a turbulent fountain,
With a song of youth to sing,
Runs down to the riotous river,
And the river flows on to the sea,
And the water again
Goes back in rain
To the hills where it used to be.
And I wonder if Life's deep mystery
Isn't much like the rain and the snow
Returning through all eternity
To the places it used to know.
For life was born on the lofty heights
And flows in a laughing stream
To the river below
Whose onward flow
Ends in a peaceful dream.
And so at last,
When our life has passed
And the river has run its course,
It again goes back,
O'er the selfsame track,
To the mountain which was its source.

So why prize life
Or why fear death,
Or dread what is to be?
The river ran its allotted span
Till it reached the silent sea.
Then the water harked back to the mountaintop
To begin its course once more.

So we shall run the course begun
Till we reach the silent shore,
Then revisit earth in a pure rebirth
From the heart of the virgin snow.
So don't ask why we live or die,
Or wither, or when we go,
Or wonder about the mysteries
That only God may know.

by William Randolph Hearst

 

Richard, my heart sank too when I read that Kathy had passed. My deepest condolences to you and your family.

I'll be sure to lift you up in prayer....

 

She is safe and in good hands with our Lord. The Brotherhood is shedding many tears for your wife and you and your family. We are your family and your loss is our loss. We give you our deepest condolences. Be strong in The Lord in the days to come and call on Him and us, always.

 

Richard, I am so sorry to hear this news. I pray your days become easier and nights allow peaceful sleep. The Lord has and always will look out for his flock. Now one is simply closer and will be at peace as well. Hugs from the group.

 

Richard, I just wish I could be there in person to read it (the poem)...I will be there in spirit though.

 

Richard, I'm at a loss for words. Stewart sent me this thread a little bit ago. All I could say to him in response was that you are good people. You and your family will be in our prayers.

 

I can think of nothing that hasn't been said Richard. I am so sorry for your loss.
