Prayers needed for MissAmericanPie for the loss of her husband!!
8/11/04

Posted on 08/11/2004 6:14:13 PM PDT by trussell

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.

1 Peter 5:7 "Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you." May the Lord wrap His loving arms around you and your family bringing comfort and peace. I am praying for you and Dr. B. I know the life that David lived will continue to be a blessing to you and all who knew him.

Prayers for you, your family, and Doctor B - Your description of your husband shows the love you have felt for this man for all these years. I know it will be incredibly difficult without him beside you everyday but you will know he is forever in your heart.

M.A.P.,

My prayers are with you. My wife, TheMom, lost her Dad this past Tuesday so this has not been a good week for FReepers and their families. Brother Flyer lost his Dad a short time back too.

Your beautiful words are such a tribute to your dear husband as he was the man many of us wish we could be. I would be honored on my passing if my wife could say 1/2 as much good about me.

Prayers again are away,
Tom Eaker

Love and prayers to you dear MAP.

I Thes 4:13-18

13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

May the family be comforted in the knowledge that the loving arms of our Almighty God that welcomed David into heaven are the same ones that hold their hearts today.

So sorry for your loss. May he rest in peace.
