A Beloved FReeper has passed away

It is with the profoundest grief that I inform Free Republic that one of the most inspirational and influential FReepers has passed away. Alia was my wife for 28 years and through thick and thin, she was my bulwark. She was also a devoted member here and I believe an important contributor. She passed from this vale of tears this past night at 1 am. Please find a moment in your day today to remember her in prayer.

+Jesus+ said, Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself: that where I am, there ye may be also.

[Just mythoughts]

I am (and if I could, would, show you the ‘tears’) reading this sad post describing your and our loss. The Heavenly Father certainly knows how to bless us with His plantings of some very special children.

I pray for your comfort as you go through the days ahead.

God’s Blessings on all.

I forgot to add earlier, I think have some photos, definitely one of Alia and possibly one of you too, from that day.

If you'd like I will locate them and e-mail them to you.

I recall from the after-FReep threads that she did not want her photo posted on the site.

My wife and I will hit 12 years come August and I don’t know where or what I would be without her. After 28 it is just unimaginable. I can only imagine your pain and hope the FReeper community can help you through this.

[TaxRelief]

Wow. I really enjoyed every moment I spent with Alia. I’ll miss her.

Alia was truly a Great American!

[BelegStrongbow]

You have all been a tower of love and support for us. I am deeply honored and you now know that I have been watching her do so much good at so much for so long with great joy.

Thank you all again.

May The Lord bless you and keep you;  

May the Lord make his face to shine upon you, and be gracious to you;

May the Lord lift up his countenance upon you, and give you peace.

And may Our Lady bless you with   her maternal love

In the name of the Father, and of the Son
and the Holy Spirit. Amen
