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.

I just picked up this thread, and was so sorry to hear the news.

The words from that beautiful poem "He is not gone, he is just away------" come to mind, and I hope there is comfort in those simple lines as well as knowing that 1John is with his Creator.

May our prayers for John and for milagra help her thru this difficult time.

My prayers are with you and I know you have great saddness but it is a glorious day to know if has accpeted Jesus Christ as his personal Savior, he is in heaven right now.

II Corinthians 5:6-8
"Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, while we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord: (For we walk by faith, not by sight:) We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord."

Take comfort knowing :

2 Corinthians 5:8 we are of good courage, I say, and prefer rather to be absent from the body and to be at home with the Lord.

Philippians 1:23 But I am hard-pressed from both directions, having the desire to depart and be with Christ, for that is very much better;
