These are the words of MissAmericanPie…I just removed some things that didn't apply and rearranged a few things. Please keep her, her family, and her husbands physician (Dr. B) in prayer!

From MissAmericanPie

My darling David passed away Sunday night; in peace and faith he went to meet his Lord. Please thank everyone, for me, who faithfully prayed for him this past year and a half.

His Doctor B is in shock and grief, as he was very attached to his patient, and David's death was un-expected at this time. Please pray for his Doctor's hurt and loss also, of a friend and patient, he called, "A perfect gentleman".

I'm exhausted, and can't think of what to say, other than to thank everyone that prayed for a cure for David's cancer for this past year and eight months.

Much to the shock and dismay of David's Doctor, who loved him, and the family that adored him, he passed away suddenly. I spent the last hour with him, comforting him and talking about everything I could think of from our honeymoon to vacations, and told him how proud I am to be his wife.

David was a faithful Christian, champion Team Penner, Soft Ball World's Umpire of the Year, much loved and sought after Little League coach, loving father and husband, faithful friend.

He would cook hams, roasts, barbeque briskets, or beef stew, and take them to the teachers lounge at our son's school so the teachers would have a good lunch, he took cup cakes to the local Fire Station, he was known by many and loved by all.

His laugh was contagious and often heard; if he was ever mad at me I never knew it. Everyday for over eighteen years I was told how much I was loved, not a day was missed. He faced his condition with strength, bravery, and no self-pity. He suffered pain in silence. Our loss is heaven's gain, and from the peace on his face, he's with his loved ones there.

I hope this helps you to know my David…the man that is my darling.

I am so sorry for your loss. What a beautiful man he must have been! What a beautiful tribute you've written to him! God bless and keep you and your family, and his doctor, too. I know there's nothing I can say right now to ease your pain and grief. Please know that I will be praying for you every day, for God to give you strength to bear this pain, and that he will give you joy again.

May God sustain you during this time of temporary separation.

Heavenly Father, we return to give You thanks that You have so richly blessed the union of David and his wife ... it is so evident that he cherished her as You cherish Your church. We know, O God, that David was ushered into Your Presence with, "Well done, thou good and faithful servant ... enter into the joy of your master." As surely as his bliss is eternal, so the sorrow of parting is brutal ... as surely as there is separation, so there will be reunion. Until that time, Merciful Father, comfort his beloved wife and family, his faithful physician and his friends, for they love him so. In the Name of Jesus, I pray, Amen ...

[Allegra]

My heartfelt condolences are prayers are with you and Dr. B.

Your description of your husband is beautiful. Heaven gained a wondeful angel.

[LeeMcCoy]

the man that is my darling.

Your statement is very telling, Sister. Yes, he is your darling and will continue to be. For the space of a short time, you cannot be with him, but that does not mean the love is any less.

I cannot ease the pain and loneliness you are feeling, all I can do is point to the future and tell you with all certainty that you will be together again...and this time, there will never be any separation, no loss, no tears, no emptiness. And you will both enjoy eternity with endless youth and vigor.

[CDHart]

May God hold you close to Him now and give you peace, in Jesus' name.
