TO ALL, long-time FReeper, MamaB, sent me the following tragic news, and asked me to start a prayer thread. So I post this in loving memory of Mr. MamaB, and in hopes it will provide some measure of comfort to his wife and family now suffering through his loss.

I just wanted to let you know that my hubby died last night at 7:30. We are all heartbroken. Will you start a thread for me and I will give more details when we get back from the funeral home. Have to be there at 11.

Psalm 23

 1 The LORD is my shepherd;
         I shall not want.
 2 He makes me to lie down in green pastures;
         He leads me beside the still waters.
 3 He restores my soul;
         He leads me in the paths of righteousness
         For His name’s sake.
         
 4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
         I will fear no evil;
         For You are with me;
         Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
         
 5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
         You anoint my head with oil;
         My cup runs over.
 6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
         All the days of my life;
         And I will dwell in the house of the LORD
         Forever.

MamaB, our words of comfort are feeble in light of your great loss and grief but know that we are lifting you up to the One who can provide you comfort as you mourn. May the Lord give you strength and courage as you face the days ahead!

This is a very appropriate use of the Dose list, wolfstar. MamaB is one of the stalwarts there & has shared much with us all when her daughter died & other tragedies in her life.

We are her cyber family.

Thanks for the thread. I will post to MamaB tonight.

What a sad ,sad weekend on FR. I'm so sorry for your loss Mamab. Prayers for you & family.

[Wolfstar]

Thank you for taking a moment out of your busy day to post your condolences. I'm sure MamaB will be most grateful.

Prayers as soon as asked.

I AM the resurrection and the life, saith the Lord: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: and whosoever liveth and believeth in me, shall never die.

I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth: and though this body be destroyed, yet shall I see God: whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not as a stranger.

We brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. The Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord.

I'm so sorry, MamaB. Will be praying for you and your family. I have read your posts for years and feel almost as if I know you.

Deu 5:33 Ye shall walk in all the ways which the LORD your God hath commanded you, that ye may live, and [that it may be] well with you, and [that] ye may prolong [your] days in the land which ye shall possess.

Mat 24:31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

MamaB, please know there are so many who are praying for you and your family right now - you are not alone. Surely you will pass though this fire, and your family will survive...

Even though the Hand of God may not be seen, in the dark, He is still with us. Do not be afraid, for your husband is with God - and they both love you. You will not walk through this valley alone.
