Thanks for letting me say these things to the people who understand me best.

May God Bless, and keep you and your families safe.

Prayers up.

Prayers for you and your family, rikkir. You were blessed with a good woman and realized it. May all of you find strength in the coming days.

May God bless you, brother. Prayers for you and all whom you hold dear.

rikkir, I am so very sorry for the loss of your lovely wife. I know that now you are in a fog, and probably won’t remember a lot. Come back here later and read these again. It may help when things are quiet again.

I lost my 15 year old son suddenly last year. I know that when I am missing him a lot I ask Jesus to give him a hug for me. It helps a little.

rikkir———what to say? I pray the suddenness of Patsy’s passing can be explained and accepted. The love you had for each other is still there, and she is always beside you in spirit. I hope she gives you strength now, as she did in life. A very difficult time for you, but we are here for you, FReeperFRiend.

Wow, so very sorry for your loss, my wife and I have been married for 53 years, I cannot imagine life without her. You had a very special life together many never stop to say I am sorry or I Love you, 3 small words but carry a weight money cannot buy. You will see her in the Daughter and Grandchildren often, cherish your Memories nobody can take that from you. Our Prayers will be with you in the coming days and NEVER be ashamed of tears let them flow there is healing in them.

Condolences and prayers to you and your family on your loss. May she rest in peace.

Prayers for you and family. What a tragic loss, so unexpected at such a young age.

Once again I thank all of you for the kind words of support, and Prayer.
It is why I consider Free Republic one of the most important places in my daily life. The people here are treasures.
I wish I could take the time to express my gratitude to each of you individually, and I may in the days and weeks to come.
In the interim, please know that your caring words have touched me deeply.

"Your Grace Finds Me"

It's there in the newborn cry
There in the light of every sunrise
There in the shadows of this life
Your great grace
It's there on the mountain top
There in the everyday and the mundane
There in the sorrow and the dancing
Your great grace
Oh such grace...
From the creation to the cross
There from the cross into eternity
Your grace finds me, yes Your grace finds me
It's there on a wedding day
There in the weeping by the graveside
There in the very breath we breathe
Your great grace
The same for the rich and poor
The same for the saint and for the sinner
Enough for this whole wide world
Your great grace
Oh such grace
There in the darkest night of the soul
There in the sweetest songs of victory
Your grace finds me
Yes Your grace finds me
Your great grace
Oh such grace
Your great grace
Oh such grace
So I'm breathing in Your grace
And breathing out Your praise
I'm breathing in Your grace
Forever I'll be
Your grace finds me
Yes Your grace finds me

One Last Kiss

I have fought the feelings
And emotions inside
That fills and empties me,
Like a fast rolling tide

There are moments of pain
Of sorrow and hate
Leaving me to ponder.
Many hours of late

I love you honey.
It's your presence I miss.
And I terribly long
For that one last kiss

But the greatest pain of all
That hurts me so deep,
Is after giving you my love
I can't have yours to keep

To have you by my side
Always longing for more,
And have you feel the same,
To mutually adore

You see my love; I have given you my heart
And revealed the depths of my soul
And now I am left feeling hopelessly empty,
Paying this immeasurable toll.

It's selfish I know
to feel this way
But it's how I feel,
each and every day

Always hoping and praying
For the next time we meet
For you to allow me, once again
To feel complete

And rest assured
I WILL see you again
For it's not a question of if
But a question of when.

And when that time comes
I'll be in total bliss
For no longer will I wait
For that one last kiss.

In this world, tremendous loss is the risk we take when we accept tremendous blessing.

Give thanks to our Father in heaven, for through His grace the blessing is evermore, the loss temporal.

Stay strong, I'll be praying for you.

So sorry for your unexpected loss. Prayers.

My sincere condolences for your loss. My heart aches for you.

Your journey forward from here will be a difficult one; probably the most difficult you will face in your life. Things will never be the same. You will have to find a new ‘normal’.

Lord, grant this man the strength to come to grips with his loss and provide him with the comfort and peace only You can provide, in Jesus’ name.

Wise words, FRiend. Keep His Love in your memories of her love and share them generously. My prayers are with you and your family.

rikkir, prayers up for you and your family.

Sounds like massive heart attack.

I’m so sorry for your loss, rikkir. God bless you and your family and may He keep her soul close to Him.

Prayers up for Mrs. “Patsy Rikkir” and her loving Family.

My condolences for your loss

I’m so sorry for you and your daughter and grandsons

So very difficult

One of my biggest fears I simply cannot imagine

Prayers done
