I sat where I couldn’t see the monitors towards the end, holding his hand, rubbing his arm, talking to him for probably 10 minutes ??? before I knew he was actually gone. It was THAT quiet from this life to the next.

Talk about feeling...stupid. I started laughing when i found out what I’d done. the nurse looked at me and said YOU have great coping skills. You’re going to make it through this!!

PLEASE include my kids and Brad in your prayers? They lost too.

NOW I’m going to bed...

Thank you everyone..

Your family is in my prayers.

Don’t feel stupid! When I die, I can’t think of anything I’d want more than to have a loved one holding my hand.

God bless you, comfort you, and strengthen you.

You know I don’t sleep through the week, so whenever...

Love ya.

OH BG! You make me laugh! That’s a great story...

I’m thinking about you and sending you every cyber ((HUG)) that can make it through this dang machine.

You and your kids are in my prayers (and your dogs too).
You have a tough road ahead. I’m thinking about you.

Much love.

Your old friend,

Oh, Gramma, I am so sorry to hear this news. I hope you can feel our affection and prayer like a soft blanket wrapped gently around you and your family.

I wonder if you realize what a beautiful example you have set for all of us here. Throughout this sad time, your good humor, expressed so brilliantly for all to see, amazed us in its confidence and made us smile.

I believe such spirit is the hallmark of an abiding faith in the goodness of our loving Father. The young ones in your family, no doubt, look towards their Gramma for guidance; and indeed, through your good and faithful nature, shall be inspired to understand and accept that earthly death is but the beginning of a new life!

Please accept my deepest condolences and heartfelt prayers for you and your family.

Floralamiss

Dear BG,

I can provide no words of comfort that others have not already shared. You know that you are loved at FR and that your FRiends are praying for you and your family.

As believers, we know that when another believer joins the Lord, there is no more suffering, no more tears, there is peace at last. So don’t feel “stupid” for talking to Ron as he was released from this sometimes painful life into total peace.

While we know Ron is at peace, we also know that you are in pain. When two are bound by God as one and those two halves become separated by death, only the power of God’s love and mercy can restore a broken half to a whole.

May the Lord bless you abundantly with comfort as He heals your broken heart. When you are alone and overwhelmed with grief, know that He is with you and will carry you through this. Also know that we are praying for the restoration of peace and joy to your soul.

Through Christ all things are possible - even this.

Your friend in Christ,
BT

When my mom and me and the siblings were picking out a tombstone for my dad, already a wet-eyed experience, the mortuary guy looked at my life-long-lawyer brother, and asked him: “Hey, you look familiar! Are you a cowboy poet?”

Things kinda went sideways from there. Lots of eye-to-eye glances, then pandemonium.

“Wut?”

Wasn’t a dry eye in the mortuary. In truth, it was kinda difficult to breathe.

You’ve got regular email Grammie. As always, all our love.

I’m so sorry and my prayers include your children and of course your darling Brad.

Prayers now, too for Ron’s sweet soul.

Lord, hear our prayers.
