Siobhan,I hurt for you and for all who knew and loved your son,I will pray a decade for all of you and ask God to keep you all firmly in His gentle hands.Love and prayers.
My pleasure sandyeggo. Thank you so much for pinging me to this post. I always appreciate the opportunity to pray for others!
"Jesus said to her, 'I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and whoever lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?' She said to him, 'Yes, Lord, I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, he who is coming into the world.'" John 11:25-27
Comfort the broken heart of this dear Father, O God, for his son will be gone from his sight. Walk with him through the darkness of the coming days, for deep is his grief, yet we do not grieve as those who have no hope. This parting is but for a moment, but eternal reunion and joy is forever. Blessed be Your Name forever, Amen ...
Dear Siobhan,
You have suffered much since first we met here on FR. You have always been in my daily prayers.
This newest tragedy comes as a great blow. I did not know your son was ill.
He is with your dear Dad now. His struggles in this life are over.
May your father and your son look down from the heavenly heights and pray for all of us who are still muddling through on our way home.
May God soothe you and heal you, may Mary hold you close beneath her mantle, may all your other children gather round to console you.
Love,
Palladin
I am very sorry. I will keep you and your entire family in my prayers.
May God Welcome him Home and Comfort his family and friends.
I am sorry for your loss.
Siobhan, I'm so sorry. Know that you and your family will always be in my prayers, and I pray for the soul of your son.
What tremendous loss, Siobhan...please allow the Holy Trinity and the Blessed Virgin Mary and all the Angels and Saints to surround you and hold you gently. I offer my prayers for you and for your family in this life and in the life eternal. <><
I am so very sorry for your loss. No child should die before his parents. I am moved by your understanding that you share most specially in the life of God. May His peace and grace be with you and yours in your time of sorrow.
I pray that the good Lord opens his arms wide as He lovingly welcomes your son into the heavenly kingdom and gives him peace, and that he is basking in the love of your father who passed before him. I pray for the renewal of your love with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, and that through your relationship with Him, you draw strength and peace, and understanding. Jesus loves you, and no one gets to know the Father without knowing the Son first. God bless you.
My heart aches over your loss.
Siobhan,
Please know that my prayers have been with you, Vince, and your family, and will continue. I, too, still miss your Dad, but have confidence, he was there to welcome Vince to our real home.
Tears and Love-SM
Eternal rest give unto them, O Lord. And let perpetual light shine upon them. May they rest in peace, Amen.
, and I ask forgiveness from one and all for failing to be the kind of Christian I should have been
No apology nessecary.
Love and Prayers.
I most certainly will pray for Vince, your dad, you and your family now and tomorrow at mass.
May your Hope, born of Faith, be deeper than the ocean. May these reach out to the Love which has conquered the grave!
Bless you, Siobhan. Prayers to the Most Blessed Trinity, through the hands of our Immaculate Mother, for you and Vince and those he leaves behind!
I had no idea you and your son were suffering so much in these past days. I pray that God will keep you lovingly in his arms during this difficult time. Vince and your Da I'm sure are smiling upon you under God's grace as we know it.
Love and blessings to you, my friend.
