So sorry for your loss, Hildy. You and your family are in my prayers.

+ 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.

[fullchroma]

Prayers to you. So sorry for your terrible loss. Beautiful man, beautiful couple.

[azishot]

I am so very sorry to hear of your loss. May God comfort you and the family.

[definitelynotaliberal]

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.

[Spunky]

So sorry for your loss. May he rest in peace and may the Good Lord comfort you.

[Yossarian]

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.)

[Beautiful_Gracious_Skies]

So sorry for your loss. May Sam’s memory be eternal.

[Old Grumpy]

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.

[Phillyred]

So sorry such joy cannot last forever in this world.

[time4good]

Hildy, I pray God will envelope you with His Divine Love and Comfort in this time. My prayers are with you and your family.

[Peter Libra]

Your eloquence here has touched Freepers. Including me, I am still married after 57 years. I do sincerely say a prayer for you. I hope to have your courage, if I am in the same position.

[Mamzelle]

So sorry, Hildy. Saying a prayer for comfort and mercy.

[SE Mom]

Oh Hildy. I’m so sorry.

Your description of him and your years together is lovely.

Go easy girl, let family carry some of it for you.

I will pray for your Sam, and you.

[Chickensoup]

So sorry to hear this. You made a lovely couple. Haven’t seen you hear in a while. Was this an unexpected loss?

[CJ Wolf]

Bless you. Prayers.
