The FReeper Canteen is asking all FReepers to please keep 68-69TonkinGulfYachtClub in your prayers.
He has suffered a massive stroke and heart attack.
We know that many of you will have questions, but as of right now we don't have any further information.
Thank you
I'm terribly sorry & will continue to pray for all. God bless. I know this is difficult for you. Keeping you in prayer.
Prayers continuing for Brian.
My Prayers for Tonk.
Prayers for the family.
Prayers for the will of The Almighty to be made manifest in the lives all involved.
I am praying for a miracle. They do happen.
As far as Mr. Tonkin's wishes they should be respected, IMO, by anyone who "has never walked in his moccasins".
Thank you for the update.
Regards,
LH
If there is one thing I am absolutely certain about it's that all the angels in God's heaven will be there to welcome this wonderful man.
I was walking home from school on a cold winter day.
Took a shortcut through the woods, and I lost my way.
It was getting late, and I was scared and alone.
But then a kind old man took my hand and led me home.
Mama couldnt see him, but he was standing there.
And I knew in my heart, he was the answer to my prayers.
Chorus
Oh I believe there are angels among us.
Sent down to us from somewhere up above.
They come to you and me in our darkest hours.
To show us how to live, to teach us how to give.
To guide us with a light of love.
When life held troubled times, and had me down on my knees.
Theres always been someone there to come along and comfort me.
A kind word from a stranger, to lend a helping hand.
A phone call from a friend, just to say I understand.
And aint it kind of funny that at the dark end of the road.
Someone lights the way with just a single ray of hope.
Chorus
They wear so many faces, show up in the strangest places.
To guide us with their mercy, in our time of need.
Chorus
To guide us with a light of love.
Prayers continue.
Please know that I am praying. May God provide healing and comfort as needed.
Tonkin...we love you. Please don't shut us out.
Blessings,
trussell
If you want on/off my prayer ping list, please let me know. All requests happily honored.
I'm so sorry to hear this. By pushing everyone away, he's probably trying to spare everyone's feelings. That won't stop us from caring about him and praying for him, though. I really hope he let's his loving family in before it's too late.
Like it or not, Tonkin, we care about you and the prayers will continue!
Thank you for the update. This raises further concerns with me about these "privacy laws." They are well meaning, I'm sure, but we have several times had problems because of their blindness to the genuine concerns of family and friends.
In any case, you have my prayers that God will be with him in his illness, and with his family. I pray that God will give him his grace, love, and forgiveness to do the right thing in this very difficult trial.
Thanks, Hondo, for your words...he is indeed a warrior.
Prayers up for Tonk and everyone else involved.
I'm so sorry. Prayers you bet.
Just too sad, MoJo2001. Prayers up for Tonk.
