Yesterday, mommydi's dad crossed over and now will be out of pain and discomfort and his spirit will be awaiting his glorified body in God's perfect time.

To my very dear friend.....

In this time of sorrow, may you find peace in knowing that your ded is now in the loving arms of our Savior. Please accept my deepest sympathy and know that I am here for you, ready to offer support and love whenever you need it.

Diana,

Much love and prayers for you~RB

For our loved ones who are in Christ, death is a blessing for them and a tragedy for us. Remember those who have died and pray for those who are left behind.

My prayers are to God for you mommydi.

Brother Jim, I know you know all too well!

Thank you all so much for the kind words of comfort. He was definitely in so much pain and so weak and tired. Now that's all gone.
My mother is taking it very hard, of course. After the hearse loaded his body at their home, and started to drive away, she chased after him and ran beside for a full block - waving and shouting "I love you!"

Something interesting happened when he passed. He told the family that a doctor just told him he had two hours left. He died two hours later.

His final words -
"I just can't do this" ...pause... "Oh?? ok!" Then he immediately stopped breathing.

It's like someone told him, he didn't have to do this, and just come on. Maybe someday he can tell us.

Thoughts and prayers for you Di, so sorry for your loss. 

Thank you so much, Alan, and everyone else.
We finally had his service today. Funeral homes are backed up around here. Could be worse. My son-in-law is from Hawaii and he said it takes up to three weeks to get a funeral scheduled at a funeral home there.

Mommydi, I am so sorry...I am just reading this post today.  Your comments about your dad's last words really touched me.  I was at my own father's home just a few hours before he passed away a couple years ago.  He was struggling to try to tell my brother something urgently, but the fog of morphine was preventing him.  We kept trying to guess what he was trying to say through his feeble frustration, but he kept shaking his head no to our questions.  One day he can tell us in person. 

I'll be praying for you and your family..."Underneath are the everlasting arms"

Thank you so much, 3.
Things are starting to settle down a little now. We're all worn out, though.

      

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.
2 Corinthians 1:3-4

When anxiety was great within me,
your consolation brought me joy.
Psalm 94:19

Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, .., present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:6-7

Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times and in every way. The Lord be with all of you.
2 Thessalonians 3:16
