In The Arms of Jesus

  Dear Friends:
      I just received word tonight that my Father passed this evening. He didn't go as I have been praying he would-in his sleep, but it was a heart attack and very quick. So I'm most thankful he didn't suffer long. I can't begin to tell you in just a few words about my Dad. Other than to say he was the best Father a girl could ever wish for and right now I can't imagine life without him.
Please pray for my Mother. She is not well and can not be consoled. They've been married 74 years last Oct.1st. Dad was 95.
We are on our way to Iowa in the morning.
I so appreciate your prayers.
Thanks-Kimberly

  34. Sorry for your loss of your dear dad.
    Many long years to-gether they have been married and what an age he had. Yet I presume not healthy years . The poor dear. The heartatta
    ck not nice.
    We just know what the human body goes through . Atleast his spirit has gone to the Lord quickly through the heartattack right after he passed on. The body is corrupted to earth now.
    He is in peace now wi th Spirit.

    Praying for your safety on roads and back. Just got in here late I just seen your post but still prayed for you and family.

  41. Oh Kimberly, I am so sorry. That's amazing how long that your parents were married. I hope your Mom will be okay and that having her family surround her will help. It's never easy to get this news.

  42. I am so sorry to learn of your father's passing. No matter how long we have with the ones we love, we're never quite ready to say good-bye. I pray that your heart, and that of your mother, is comforted by our loving Lord.

  43. Glad your dad didn't suffer long. He sure lived to a ripe old age! Mine died at 89 and didn't suffer long either. I am truly sorry for your loss. My mom was the first to go so when my dad died too, I felt very sad for a long time. It is a comfort knowing we will see our loved ones again in heaven. I don't know how unbelievers cope.
