Praise GOD that...

LOVE is the Only Reality and that...

GOD is LOVE.


Have no fear, Jeff, for your Father is closer to you now than he ever was while on the Earth.

Jeff, my sincerest condolences.

DEATH be not proud, though some have called thee
Mighty and dreadfull, for, thou art not so,
For, those, whom thou think'st, thou dost overthrow,
Die not, poore death, nor yet canst thou kill me.
From rest and sleepe, which but thy pictures bee,
Much pleasure, then from thee, much more must flow,
And soonest our best men with thee doe goe,
Rest of their bones, and soules deliverie.
Thou art slave to Fate, Chance, kings, and desperate men,
And dost with poyson, warre, and sicknesse dwell,
And poppie, or charmes can make us sleepe as well,
And better then thy stroake; why swell'st thou then;
One short sleepe past, wee wake eternally,
And death shall be no more; death, thou shalt die.

John Donne

God Bless, Jeff.

[Alamo-Girl]

What a beautiful testimony! What a blessing your father is to your family and now, to us! And what a blessing you are to all of us, Jeff.

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

Your father taught you how to live, and how to die. What a generous, wonderful man.

May God continue to richly bless your family, Jeff.

That was so moving, filled with love and admiration. You captured his spirit when he said, well if my sister's coming, I better look at the facts. And so he did, understanding his end was near. And gathering his loved ones around in an ending prayer like a leader of men, passing the torch and telling them he's good to go and they must carry on. What a very fine man. It will take awhile to get used to him being gone; I went through this, too. Sometimes you weep and sometimes rejoice. But how lucky you were that grace gave you the best father on earth. The apple didn't fall far from the tree.
Your FRiend,
The Westerner

"Condolences to you and your family. Any man would be proud to have a dad like yours." Mega-dittos! I am also certain that Jeff's dad was proud to have a son such as him.

Five years ago we drove through storms like these to get to my family when my mom died. We weren't there in time to say one last "Good bye!", but we were there in time to provide and receive emotional support and to be together in our shared grief.

I am so sorry for your loss. God bless you all.

[patton]

I am sorry, Jeff.

For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. ~ Romans 8: 38-39

Jeff, we are celebrating your father's life and faith with you and lifting up you and all your family as you grieve your loss. May God abide with you and your family, giving you peace, strength, and comfort in the coming days.
