A Prayer Thread for LBGA

[dansangel]

A wonderfully devoted FReeper, LBGA, is in need of FReeper prayers. I spoke with her sister last evening and with LBGA, herself, this morning, and things are not looking good.

When first diagnosed with cancer last year, LBGA wished to keep her condition a secret. She fought her affliction with admirable strength and candor. She really felt she had it beaten this past March when .45MAN and I had the pleasure of attending two pro-America/Support the Troops rallies with her - one in Milledgeville, GA and the other in Atlanta. She fell ill again shortly after the Atlanta rally and began her uphill battle against this malicious enemy once again.

LBGA has since been told she is "terminal." She has accepted this pronouncement with the grace and dignity that only LBGA could exhibit. Those of you that know her will understand what I am trying to describe. LBGA is a remarkably strong, talented and witty person who is a role model that I lovingly look up to.

LBGA gave me permission to go public with her illness and ask for FReeper prayers to lift her up to God. We know the power of FReeper prayer. It has worked miracles in the past and we now pray for another miracle for our FReeper FRiend, LBGA.

Please keep her son Tyler and daughter Teale in your prayers.

Dear Merciful Father,
We come to You today to ask a favor on behalf of our friend LBGA. We ask You to please allow her complete healing of her cancer so that we, her friends and her family, may have her with us longer. We ask, too, that her son and daughter find strength and comfort in Your loving arms as they carry their trmendous burden. If it be Your Will, Dear Lord, we ask this of You as Your humble and loving servants.

This request comes in the Name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, Amen.

SAD news.

Very sad, indeed. Please keep Lynne's family in your prayers.

[dansangel]

Thank you for your kind words (((JH2))). So many of us were blessed in knowing Lynne.

[dansangel]

Thank *you* for your prayers, verse and kind words ((((Victoria))))

[dansangel]

Let's remember that on the day we die that's when the adventure really begins.

You are so right ((((Valin))))

[tet68]

D's angel you are much too kind.
I thank you for the help you have been to Lynne and her family.

[dansangel]

Thank you for your prayers and kind words ((((Alamo-Girl))))

[dansangel]

I just wish I could have done more.

Please keep in touch. Maybe we'll see you at the next N. Atlanta Trade Center Gun show.

[dansangel]

That verse was *very* appropriate for this thread ((((Jim)))))

Thank you so much for sharing that and for all of your kindness and compassion.

Now don't get me wrong I'm having a pretty good time down here so far(nothing beats fun for having a goodtime), and it's been REAL interesting BUT given the choice of another Mn. winter or going home...this is a real no-brainer.

"Eye has not seen, ear has not heard, neither has it entered into the heart of man half of what my father has prepared for those that love him"....Well I can imagine a LOT.
So it should be good, and I for one can hardly wait.

[dansangel]

So it should be good, and I for one can hardly wait.

Agreed. For your sake, though, I hope this winter is plenty tolerable for you. :-)

Thank you dansangel and howlin for keeping us updated on LBGA's final journey.

To Lynne:

God saw you were getting tired
and a cure was not to be,
so he put his arms around you
and whispered, “Come with me.”

With tearful eyes we watched you suffer
and saw you fade away.
Although we loved you deeply,
we could not make you stay.

A golden heart stopped beating,
hard-working hands to rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us He only takes the best.

Beautiful and most appropriate verse (((((daisy))))

Thank you for sharing that with us here. God Bless you and yours.

I regret I didn't know LBGA personally but from all the things I have read about her, the following seems appropriate:

"When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling. Live your life so at the end, you're the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying."

Many prayers from middle Georgia for Lynne's family and friends.

[CyberAnt]

Yes .. knowing that .. it is easier to handle her death. Thank you for all your effort to let us know of her condition and her passing. God Bless you.

[dansangel]

Many prayers from middle Georgia for Lynne's family and friends.

Thank you so much for your heartfelt post. Lynne touched so many people here at FR, as you can see.

((((Hugs)))) from northern GA.

How right you are my dear girl, losing someone close is a lifelong condition. We have to live on in their memory, and for those who remain behind.. {{{{{HUG AN ANGEL}}}}}

[Teacup]

My prayers are with Lynne's family and friends. I will miss Lynne. Thank you for posting the info, Howlin.

[dansangel]

I wanted to remind all of you who so graciously prayed for LBGA and her family last year that today is the first anniversary of her passing.

She is sorely missed by all here at Free Republic. Lynne's vitality is especially missed during this election season. I can picture her getting fired up by the antics of the liberal loonies and wish that I could see her reaction to it all.

Please continue to pray for Lynne's two children and her siblings that she left behind.

Dear Father, We know that our friend Lynne is in Your House, wrapped in Your protective embrace where she will remain for all of eternity. We look forward to a grand reunion one day. Until that time, we pray that Lynne's family is kept safe in Your loving hands. We also pray for the good of our country, the continuance of strong and moral leadership and the safety and protection of our devoted troops.

We ask these favors as Your humble and contrite servants in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, Amen.

May God Bless you all.
