Prayer Request

[Big Boomer]

I am sorry this is not gun related, but I had posted earlier on that my father had cancer and has unfortunately passed away this evening.

This is by far the most difficult thing I have ever had to go through in my life. To make it worse there are major legal battle that are going to ensue in probate.

This is an absolute nightmare that has come true.

I ask for guidance and prayers from everyone. Once again, his name is Ronald (Ronnie) Glenn Priest. He has had horrible luck his entire life and most likely might get lost on the way to the pearly gates of Heaven. I ask that we help direct him that way on this last final journey.

Thank you in advance for all your help once again!

We are a community of friends even though few of us know each other beyond our screen names we all have common interests, goals, and beliefs. The things that bond us together are what make us strong just as any other family or community. Some go to church, some have other groups they attend we have THR. Sometimes this forum strays from time to time when the topics get boring but is nice to know that when in need we can reach out to our friends on here for support.

I thank you all once again. For those that that are going through your own trials and tribulations I will pray for you as well.

No Longer Bound

He has had horrible luck his entire life and most likely might get lost on the way to the pearly gates of Heaven.

Not any more.

No need to worry about him. The things that ruined his luck and kept confusion in his life are entirely of this world.

He is no longer bound to them.

He'll be fine.

You can turn your attention to the Earthly details.

I'm sorry for your loss, and I'm even sorrier that you have to endure a squabble about what he has cast off.

Do what you know is right, and make him proud.

Condolences on your loss. I lost my dad 3 1/2 years ago, and it is the hardest thing I've ever gone through. I still talk to him every day and I know that he is watching over me and those that I care for. Trust me that the grief will pass, it will be replaced with a sense of peace. You will remember good times that you had not thought of years, and the painful / bad / difficult things will take care of themselves, they always do.

I hope you and those you care for will find peace in his passing. Do those things that you are now called on to do and rest assured he is in a safe wonderful place now.

All of our thoughts and prayers for you, your dad and all of your family Big Boomer.

Remember that sometimes death is a blessing and a release from suffering. His horrible luck is all over now, he is at peace, all hurts healed.

Find a shoulder and a moment where you can let go and let your love for him and your grief at his absence run free. Tomorrow and tomorrows labors will get here soon enough, take some time to take care of yourself now, and tomorrow can wait for a bit.

God bless Ronnie Priest and all those who love him.

Big Boomer,

I feel your pain as just 3 weeks ago I lost my father to cancer. Dad fought it for a year and a half. Dad was not only my hunting and fishing partner, he was truely my hero having retired from the LAPD some 20 years ago. There is really only one word to describe what you are going through and that is it, "sucks". I know it's not a high road word but it pretty much sums up the feelings of losing your father.

You and your family are in my prayers. I'll pass on what a friend here "Win71" passed on to me right after my dad's death. Win71 said, "Your dad will always be with you as you are a part of him". These words are very true.

 

[SCKimberFan]

A request to the Creator is on its way.

Cherish the good times you shared.

 

[neviander]

I am sorry to hear that Big Boomer. Prayers have been sent up for comfort and ease of legal issues.

 

[StrawHat]

Prayers will be offered.

On Tuesday morning my mother passed from this life. I understand what you are going through.

 

[Blofeld]

My prayers go out to you and yours. Hang in there.

 

[Dragonmom]

I am so sorry for your loss. I will keep you and your family in my prayers.

 

[REPOMAN]

I've got your back Big Boomer...... Prayers sent.....

 

[Rokyudai]

Prayers of peace and strength to you and your family. May prayers be Ronnie's GPS (Glory Positioning System) to Heaven.

 

[kingpin008]

I don't pray, but he'll be in my thoughts. Take care of yourself in the meantime, hear?

 

[moe.ron]

So sorry for your families loss. My wifes father passed on Sunday.

 

[SHOOT1SAM]

My condolences to Big Boomer, Yosemite**Sam, and BLC, and my prayers for all of you & your families.

Cherish the time you all had you father with you; I lost mine when I was 11, and at almost 46, I can't describe how much I miss him.

Although I am proudly Catholic, I'll have to admit that I have not studied the concept of Purgatory enough to be certain about it one way or another.
Regardless, I pray for those souls daily, and know that your loved ones are included as well.

Take this to heart as: what is flesh is flesh, what is of the_Spirit is Spirit.. free (at last)

It won't seem easy, (being, yet, mortal) being stuck, alive, in the flesh and what comes of "Man's (fleshly) greed/temptation" but, take meaning in: "fight the_good fight" and become wiser, stronger, and more comforted, by the_Spirit, by doing it..

You'll know, if you're fighting the_good fight.. (you'll most likely feel like your losing) but in your heart, you'll feel the victory of it..

This will make them ALL proud..

I will pray for the repose of your father's soul and for your family.

I'm still young enough not to have to deal with problems like this yet but I can imagine how difficult it must be.

God bless you and your family.

 

[Black Knight]

You have my prayers for your father as well as yourself. I know it will be difficult for a while but with friends you can get through this. Get a good, trusted lawyer for the probate issues. Let him/her take those headaches. Concentrate on your father's wishes and your own well being (emotionally). Cherish the good times and memories you have. Remember we are here whenever you need. Take care of yourself.
