Prayers sent...stay strong
Tammy's father passed away an hour ago. :(
Prayers for your father and your family.
They are in our thoughts.
May God bless your Father and welcome him home.
You have my sympathies.
Prayers on the way.
Prayers given.
Thanks ladyinred. Actually he passed away 4 hours ago. There was an update at the very end of the thread.
He's with his Saviour, his mom, his dad and his older sister now.
My mom is doing great. We all are actually. Lots of joy that he is in heaven now and is well and happy.
Thanks for your prayers.
Everyone..last night I posted an update about my Dad, but I forgot to ping the list.
Thank you all for your prayers. I told him about them and he said "Thank you and God Bless" to you all.
Please take a look at my update at post 173 and at 176. He did get to vote and I have posted the pictures.
He passed away shortly after I posted the update with the pictures. He died very peacefully and comfortably.
Please, ping any of your lists that you think might be interested. I was so proud of him going to vote, being so weak and all.
I am so proud of him, that I would like everyone to know about him.
His name was Robert Dimmick and he was a great Christian and a great Dad.
Texasflower: What a beautiful tribute to your dad. I'm so sorry he passed away sweetie. He must have been a terrific dad...he certainly raised you right.
What a good man your father is...and I imagine him telling his friends in heaven all about his last venture on earth...May God embrace him wonderously and comfort all of you as you grieve and begin to share favorite memories of your dad.
I am overwhelmed with the shots of his voting...and wish that you would send these on to the White House...your father's effort to vote deserves national attention, it impresses upon all the incredible importance of voting and the intense dedication and courage your father demonstrated elevates all of us.
God Bless you, it is an honor to post to this thread.
I hope every FReeper gets to review your pictures above and share in this miracle...and I bet the pancakes in heaven are beyond delicious!
Dear Lord, as you take to you the soul of Robert Dimmick, may you bring comfort and peace to his family and friends.
Tammy, I am so sorry you have lost dad to this world.. he was a young man.. only 64. My prayers with you all now.. thank you for sharing his last weeks via this thread. I know you KNOW he is at a better place. But you will always miss daddy. Girls and their dads share something very special. Mine departed Dec 1991 and I still miss him dearly.

I am praying for your dad.
God bless you at this time.
I'm sorry to hear about the sad loss of your Dad; and 64 is way too young for what happened. Bless you, your Dad, and your family.
Prayers your father and for you all..
MOST merciful Father, who hast been pleased to take unto thyself the soul of this thy servant; Grant to us who are still in our pilgrimage, and who walk as yet by faith, that having served thee with constancy on earth, we may be joined hereafter with thy blessed saints in glory everlasting; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
God be with you and your family Tammy praise be to God that he got his last wish to vote.
God Bless you and your family
Love Eleanor
I am very sorry for the loss of your beloved father. I am heartened that you are doing well and realize that he is in the arms of his Savior. God bless!
