My beloved, cherished DrO passed from my arms into our Lord and Savior’s this morning at the exact time I was born 68 years ago. I got my birthday wish that he passed in complete peace on this date without any pain and without gasping for breath and right after I had recited our Lord’s Prayer and told him it was all right for him to leave me now that I would be strong and carry on like he wants me to. Everyone else had left the room and I know he waited for that.
Thank you all for your love and support and your continuous faithful prayers. One of Walt’s last statements was that “It’s all in God’s hands” and God truly came magnificently through like only He can do.
Yes, I’m brokenhearted and so very sad, but I got everything at the end that I prayed for. God’s Amazing Grace. I’ll be a better person now. I made that promise to God, so it’s one I have to keep. I hope you all will help me keep it.
I love you all.
penelopesire is here with me and I’m so grateful and thankful. I love her and so did Walt.
God Bless and keep you all.
((gentle hugs))
My condolences, dearest onyx.
May God grant you comfort, strength and courage...and peaceful rest for your husband. God Bless.
Very sorry to hear this Onyx. Losing someone you love and care about is never easy, even when you know they were suffering here.
Prayers to you and your family.
Prayers for you and your family
I have no words. Just got back from taking care of my 80 year old mom and saw this. Prayers for you Onyx as the beloved Dr.O experiences the joy of the presence of the Lord. I’m so sorry.
Dear onyx,
You are a living testament of courage and devotion for all of us here, kindly sharing yourself and a little of your Dr.O on this sorrowful journey to joyful Glory. May Almighty God be pleased to receive your dear Walt, and richly reward you for your love and faith and fine witness with Mercy and compassion, as only He can give.
My heartfelt condolences, onyx. Prayers up for your comfort and healing. Love, Rita

I haven’t been around much so I missed seeing this thread about your husband. I’m so sorry for your loss, onyx. I pray God continues to bless you, provide comfort and surround you with His love.
Oh my dear Onyx. I’m almost a week behind in getting this news. I am so sorry yet rejoicing with you that DrO is in the very presence of God Himself. What peace.
I’m praying for you and asking God to fill you with comfort as you grieve his loss.
How well we know that pain after losing a dear nephew to cancer three months ago.
Continued prayers.

Sorry to say I’m just hearing this. You’re such a good person. Just know your loved here. We’re all family.
Notre Père qui es aux cieux,
Que ton Nom soit sanctifié, que ton règne vienne,
Que ta volonté soit faite sur la terre comme au ciel.
Donne-nous aujourd'hui notre pain de ce jour.
Pardonne-nous nos offenses, comme nous pardonnons aussi à ceux qui nous ont offensés.
Et ne nous soumets pas à la tentation, mais délivre-nous du mal.
Car c’est à Toi qu’appartiennent le règne, la puissance et la gloire,
pour les siècles des siècles. Amen
Je vous salue, Marie, pleine de grâces,
le Seigneur est avec vous, vous êtes bénie entre toutes les femmes,
et Jésus le fruit de vos entrailles est béni.
Sainte Marie, Mère de Dieu, priez pour nous pauvres pécheurs,
maintenant, et à l'heure de notre mort. Ainsi-soit-il.
Garde la Foi, mes amis! Nous nous sommes les sauveurs de la République! Maintenant et Toujours!
(Keep the Faith, my friends! We are the saviors of the Republic! Now and Forever!)
