My wife, Tina passed on to be with Jesus in glory one week ago today. As my sister in law aptly put it "there now remains a Tina shaped hole in our souls and we mourn her loss" but I take hope and peace in knowing that she is in a far better place now. She is free from disease, pain and sorrow and I await the day when we are re-united.
After a 2 year battle with malignant melanoma she suffered a stroke about 2 months ago which robbed her of movement and most of her speech.
She loved the Lord Jesus and sought to serve Him faithfully. In the 32 years that I had the privilege of knowing her I observed her faith to be steadfast and consistent. She and I ministered for 6 years in overseas missions teaching the Bible to people in a small Bible school run by "Youth With A Missions". Laterally she was fundamentally involved in establishing and running our small business.
We would have been married for 30 years this coming August 31. She will be sorely missed as she was my life, heart and soul, business partner, confident and very best friend in this world. My future is a dark unknown. I am only 53 years old. Yet I cling to my faith in Jesus and the comfort found in God's word.
Tina was a staunch conservative with deep beliefs in conservative principles which sprang from her convictions found in God's word and our countries founding fathers and writings. She loved to dig in here at FR and talk through all the topics of the day.
I was beside her nearly constantly these last 8 weeks and watched as she declined. I sat beside her praying and holding her hand up to and at the final moment when she exhaled her last breath. I thank God for Jesus' promise that he will continue to watch over her and that I can rest easy.
Au revoir Tina, my lovely lady, my friend and constant companion, my true love. You surely shall be deeply missed.
Your devoted and loving husband.
Andrew (Justice)

Prayer warriors, please hold this family up in your prayers for their loss. God Bless you all. T
So sorry for your broken heart.

My wife passed in Jan 2000, and I have been single and somewhat lonely since.
Try to hang in there.

So sorry for your loss.
May Almighty god bless and keep you and her soul, and bring peace to you both. I ask this in the Holy Name of Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Amen.
My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Now if you’ll excuse me I need to go find a tissue.
“Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of one of his Saints”
You will see her again.
My our Lord Jesus Christ comfort you in this time of loss.
Praying for You and Yours.
We will meet, know and love again.
You show yourself to be a very loving husband. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Lord Jesus, rest Thy servant Tina with the saints and comfort her widower husband Andrew.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, amen.
"To be absent from the body and present with the Lord".
why is my screen so blurry
I actually did.
Prayers, Justice, and condolences... and know that you are one of the lucky ones. Some of us go our entire lives without finding 'the one'.
