Freeper prayer request for Ernest_at_the_Beach (Update: His wife has since passed away)

August 28, 2003

Dear Freeper prayer warriors, please keep Ernest_at_the_Beach and his wife in your prayers.

From Ernest_at_the_Beach | 08/28/2003:

Just to let you know that my wife (Kathy ) is now in her final days. Her pain in the last few months from the cancer was constant and unrelenting .

The last several months had been very difficult as she was unable to eat well and not able to eat at all for the last several weeks.

God will be merciful soon and relieve her of the misery of the dreaded disease!

Prayers would be appreciated!

Thanks flutters, they are already in my prayers.

[TotusTuus]

Prayers for Kathy, Ernest, and all her family.

For the handmaid of God Kathy, and for her blessed memory, and that her every transgression, voluntary and involuntary, be forgiven, let us pray to the Lord.

[Judith Anne]

Prayers for comfort and peace in the valley of the shadow...

Thoughts and Prayers for the couple. May they be strengthened in this hour of need. In the name of Jesus Amen.

[xJones]

Dear Father, please uphold Kathy and her husband in Your arms. Please take away her pain as she goes home. May saints, angels and ministering workers surround her. And please comfort her loving family. In Jesus's name, Amen.

[DeSoto]

It is so difficult to be so sick and know that the end is coming. But it is equally, maybe even more difficult to watch helplessly, as someone you love is wracked with pain and suffering, and to be totally helpless to do anything about it. My thoughts and prayers are with you both, and with your family. May God grant you both comfort and peace in the hours, days, and weeks ahead.

I'll say a decade of the rosary for your mom,Mary Ann,and you and the family. There is nothing harder than to watch someone you love suffer. God bless.

[DeSoto]

May prayers are with you as well. I have been where you are several times and it is very difficult. Remember that God doesn't give us any more than we are capable of bearing, just sometimes it seems that way. Hang in there, my prayers will include your mother and you.

First our favorite giant angel:

Nancy was with her sister through the course of her cancer, and I have been with Nancy through her own cancer and its remission.

You and Kathy are in my prayers, Ernest.

I will say prayers for Ernest and Cathy.

I have never chatted with him,but I smile wvery time I see his name. There's just something about it.

May God "carry" them gently as they go through these sad times.

Ernest, you are not alone. We lift you and we know, we have walked the final days with others. You are going to make it, and you will be stronger. Hold Kathy up, and just be there to touch her. She is leaving, but she is aware of you, and she loves you. Do not let your grief blind you to the incredible honor you have been bestowed, to hold the hand of a loved one as they journey home. At the last, the final flight is one of freedom and joy. I have seen it with my own eyes...

God loves you, Ernest, and so do we. You are not alone.
