Requiescat in pace

This past Saturday at 3:15pm I lost my soul mate, the love of my life, my husband Sam. Sam was a man with a huge heart. Everyone who knew him loved him. He left a legacy in the form of his two exceptional children, Heather and Billy, their spouses, Luke and Randell and two wonderful grandchildren, Ethan and Sammy. When I married Sam I became part of his big, beautiful Serbian family and the gifts that brought are too numerous to mention. Our life was a never ending adventure. He was a man’s man and a true and gentle soul. Together 23 years and married 21, He will be forever in my heart and I will miss him every day.
Cherish your memories. May they sooth your grief.
My husband was 20 years older than me. That picture was taken about 8 years ago. I wish I could say that still looked exactly like me, but I’d be lying. :)
Requiescat in pace
+ Eternal rest grant unto Sam, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May his soul, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen. +
May God bless and comfort you and all who loved him.
Oh, Hildy, I’m so sorry.
You will be in my prayers.
Prayers to you. So sorry for your terrible loss. Beautiful man, beautiful couple.
I am so very sorry to hear of your loss. May God comfort you and the family.
I’m so very sorry. I remember you’d mentioned once that he was older than you and so, you’d retired early to make the most of the remaining years. You chose well. May you feel the presence of the God of comfort more strongly at this difficult time.
May the blessings of God continue to be bestowed upon you and your family. Seems like you have many wonderful memories to be able to reflect upon for comfort. If we can leave good memories and better people behind, we have been successful on this journey.
So sorry for your loss. May he rest in peace and may the Good Lord comfort you.
So sorry to read this, Hildy - prayers out for him, you, and your whole family.
(BTW, while I understand wanting to put out a beautiful picture of you and your husband...
...since there are some unbalanced people out there lurking FR, perhaps erring on the side of anonymity would be good.)
So sorry for your loss. May Sam’s memory be eternal.
I’m very sorry to hear of your loss. I’ll be saying prayers for you and your family.
Hildy -
That is such bad news. Such very bad news. I hope you are doing okay.
As my mother once said to me, “it doesn’t get any harder than this. You will get through this.”
Yes, you will get through this loss. It may not seem so right now, but you will be able to deal with this.
You have many old friends on FR. God bless you.
So sorry for the loss of your loving husband, Sam. May he rest in peace. You are all in my prayers. God bless.
Deepest sympathy for your loss, ma’am.

Thanks for the head’s up. I am an elected official and I am totally non anonymous. I have been posting on Facebook since 1998 when my Dad brought me in. Everyone here grieved with me when he passed away in 2000. I feel like it’s family. (Especially the crazy ones.)
So sorry such joy cannot last forever in this world.
Hildy, I pray God will envelope you with His Divine Love and Comfort in this time. My prayers are with you and your family.
