FReeper milagro posted on America the Right Way.. today, that her husband, 1John, died yesterday of a massive heart attack.

John was a fine man, who loved the Lord, his wife, and his country.
He had served in the military, and has a son in the military now.

Please keep milagro & the family in prayer.

This is such a shock to her, and completely unexpected.

Please let her know you are praying for her.

She told me John would be honored knowing he was mentioned on the Forum......as they both love Free Republic.

Thanks, and God bless.

If there is a formula for whatever the stuff is that makes up the core of America, the main ingredients are listed above.

Thank you John for your service to God and Country.

God Bless those left behind.

Know that you will stand together with John again one day, in a much, much better place.

AND GOD SHALL WIPE AWAY ALL TEARS FROM THEIR EYES; AND THERE SHALL BE NO MORE DEATH, NEITHER SORROW, NOR CRYING, NEITHER SHALL THERE BE ANYMORE PAIN: FOR THE FORMER THINGS ARE PASSED AWAY. REV 21: 4 This is my favorite,comforting passage, in the time of someones passing. REST WELL AMIGO! YOUR REWARD IS DUE!

So sorry for your loss. Keep your chin up. We've had a lot of death in our family the past six months. It's the support of friends, family and God that have helped us. Know that you're cared for.

You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers now. I know that it is so hard to lose a husband and I pray that you can just soon think about all the beautiful things that you did together and smile again. May God bless you and your family.

John:16:33 In the world ye shall have tribulations;but be of good cheer;I have overcome the world.
When flesh has gone to the rising sun
That dries and bleaches bone
And night descends when the day is done
And chills my heart to stone
There is a light within my soul
A bright and mighty sword
That comforts me and makes me whole
The spirit of my Lord.

I pray the spirit comfort you also. f.h.

God Bless you and yours, milagro. You will be in my prayers and thoughts.

The Prayer of St. Francis

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace,
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
...where there is injury, pardon;
...where there is doubt, faith;
...where there is despair, hope;
...where there is darkness, light;
...where there is sadness, joy;

O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
...to be consoled as to console;
...to be understood as to understand;
...to be loved as to love.

For it is in giving that we receive;
...it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
...and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
