My wife just called and notified me that our son-in-law just passed away.
He was 34 years old and it appears that he either had a heart attack or a stroke.
There are complications, my wife is in Flint, Michigan on business, my son-in-law passed away in Jackson, Missouri and I am in Pekin, Illinois. My wife can't get a flight to St.Louis, rent a car and get there as fast as she can by driving straight through.
I am waiting for my son and then I will drive down there and join her. None of us have had any sleep but we have to get down there to be with our daughter.
Thank you for your thoughts and prayers.
Graybeard,
I am so very sorry to hear of your family's loss and know how devistated you feel at this time. Please know that my prayers, along with those of many of the rest of your "FReeper family", go along with you today. May the good Lord give you, Mrs Graybeard and your daughter, strength, comfort and peace today and in the days to come as you deal with this sorrow and loss. In Jesus' name we pray... amen.
(I know you don't know me, but you met my Mom, Bizzy Bugz on the FReeps Ahoy Cruise.)
I am so sorry for your loss. Our prayers go with you all.
Very sad... I know God's love will see you through for he loves you very much.
I am so sorry, Prayers that you all will be safe, and for your daughter.
Maria

God bless you all

I'm so sorry to hear of this. Prayers for you and the family.
Ditto on the no driving if you haven't had sleep. My uncle almost died in the 60's when the VW he was driving went off the road after he fell asleep.
Prayers for you and yours. It is so hard to lose a loved one, but especially one so young.
Please be careful and don't get overstressed pulling the logistics together. Safety over speed. God be with you all.
Graybeard, I'm so sorry to hear this! Your family will be in my prayers today!
I am so sorry. That is horrible.
I am so very sorry for your loss. God Bless you & be with you, prayers for your entire family and son in law.
I am praying for you and your daughter right now. God is with her, as he always has been - but now, more than ever, she needs to feel God's arms around her.
You, her earthly father, will be those arms of God for her at this time. May you be strengthened, so she may be comforted. In Christ's name, I pray it...
My prayers are with you and family for a safe journey. My prayers are also with your daughter.
My heart goes out to your daughter and your whole family. Praying for safety for all of you and that the Lord would give each one comfort and peace that passes understanding.
Please drive carefully and get some sleep first if you're sleepy ... your daughter doesn't need another loss or tragedy on top of this. I'm sure you realize that, though. May God work out all the details smoothly to His glory.
I'm very sorry for your shocking loss. Prayers are being said for your son-in-law and your family.
Prayers sent for you and your family.
Graybeard needs our prayers.
Prayers for your daughter and you and your family. Please remember The Lord is Good, may you find much comfort in knowing how much we all care and that our God is able to provide.
I'm so sorry. I recently lost someone unexpectedly, and am familiar with some of the emotions you all must be experiencing. I will keep your entire family (and his) in my prayers.
May God embrace you all.
