Please take a moment and remember my family in your prayers. My dear mother, Lois Mary Shields, nee Guidry, died yesterday of a heart attack. She suffered from congestive heart failiure as a complication of diabtetes. She and my father were married 46 years and now my father is alone. He and my mother loved each other very much. As children we always knew that my parents loved each other. My father suffered a stroke 2 weeks ago which has left him confused and has greatly slurred his speech and has caused mobility problems. I spoke to him last night and he didn't seem to understand what all the commotion was about. I'm leaving for home very soon and would deeply appreciate your prayers and thoughts.
Thank you,
Dan
I was just getting myself into a fret over something and your post just put it all in perspective. Know that you will have our prayers that you will find strenght and comfort from our Lord. He will not fail you.
My prayers and hugs are with you and your family, I lost both of my parents several years ago to cancer, both aged 57. May the Lord wrap His loving arms around you all.
God Bless you, I will pray for you and your family!
God be with you.
Heavenly Father, we return to give You thanks for the many years of married life You have given to Dan's parents ... may these warm memories sustain this family in the days ahead. Grant journey mercies to Dan, that he would be of comfort and help to a husband who might not yet understand his loss. Minister to this family in a special way, O God, in the Name of Jesus, I pray, Amen ...
Done.
My heart is breaking for you, Dan. Your cup runneth over. Stay strong and God Bless...sw

I will pray for you and yours in this time of loss. May God richly bless you and keep you!
Prayers sent. A really hard time when our parents get old. Maybe it is a blessing that your father does not understand what the commotion is about. Please let him have that peace for a time, maybe he really needs the confusion right now.
God bless.
