Dear Friends, Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
With great sadness I tell you that my Norman has passed away.
The last time I requested prayer, I was sad because he didn't seem to know I was there with him.
The Lord is good. The next day we got to spend about an hour of lucid time together. It was wonderful!
We talked about our love, our family, and the peace he felt about going "home." We shared memories and I got to thank him for sharing his life with me.
We even joked together! I told him, "You promised me a dance and it looks like I'll have to wait until I get to heaven to have it. But if I get up there and catch you dancing with another woman, you'll be in big trouble, Mister!" He loved that! LOL
Then he went back to sleep. His last words to me were "home" and "I love you." I can't tell you how much I cherish them. They have helped sustain me thru this terrible week.
He passed away peacefully, with our family holding hands praying for him.
I need you to keep me in your prayers as I try to survive the weeks ahead. We're financially devastated and I don't earn enough to carry the daily bills much less the medical bills that are falling like snow. I get wobbly and nauseous when I even have to talk about it.
His lovingkindness and grace are keeping me. I praise Him for His love and strength.
I am so grateful for your love and prayers. They mean more than I can say.
May He bless you immeasureably for your gift of love toward me. Once again, I am indebted to the Body of Christ for their support and strength.
Heartfelt love,
Barb
I'm so sorry for your loss, and you will be in my prayers... God bless.
So sorry to hear of your loss - God Bless
So sorry for your loss. My heart and prayers go out to you.
May God continue to bless you and help you live life without your dear one. I pray too that He helps you resolve your current financial problems.
I'm so sorry for your loss... I offer my prayers to you for comfort and strength...
Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my miscellaneous ping list.
I'm sure he is out of his body and feeling fine now...:)...he's watching what you are going through and is probably trying to hold your hand and say "hang in there, it's only temporary".....my prayers for you and yours..God Bless!.....
My God shall supply all your needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
Have NO ANXIETY about anything, but in everything, with prayer, thanksgiving and supplication let your needs be made known unto God, and the PEACE of God which passeth all understanding shall keep your hearts and minds through Jesus Christ our Lord.
He is with the Lord. God Bless you and your time together with Norman.
Oh EW, you have my heartfelt condolences. May God continue to hold you and your family through your sorrow.
I know how overwhelming and confusing, and yes, physically sickening the medical bills can be. I hope you have some family or friends you trust implicitly...perhaps they can help you sort through them all. (I also suggest having a professional medical bill auditor take a look at them. It could save you thousands.)
Prayers sent. It sounds as if you two had a wonderful life. May Our Lord sustain you in your grief.
Lord hear her prayers and let those who can spare something, help her in her time of need.
BTTT.

Prayers Ascending for you, to our Loving and Faithful God.

My love and prayers are with you, dear one. This is a time when you have to trust God to meet all your needs. He certainly is able to do that. When you begin to get worried about the bills, tell satan to buzz off and renounce the spirit behind the worry. God WILL help you, eternal. Trust Him. I'm so very sorry to learn of your husband's death and will try and remember to pray for you through these difficult times. Much love, Maryxxx
That is the love which will sustain you...how truly blessed you have been, that a man would endure this rather than let you go...how blessed Norman was (is!) that his family should love him so deeply, they let him go home to the Lord.
Where did I put those kleenex???
Please do not let pride get in the way of finding assistance. Let your FReeping family know how we can help, I know many of us would like to and are able to, even if it is just a bit. Don't hesitate to ask!
My prayers are with you in this difficult time. God bless, Georgia
Be praying for you tonight.
