Numbers 6:24-26 The LORD bless you and keep you; the LORD make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you; the LORD lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace.
 
I am so sorry to hear Dan. I watched my mom go through this. It is a huge adjustment. Prayers, and hang in there. AC
 
Ladies & Gentlemen:

I deeply regret the passing of my lovely wife CHARLOTTE at 10:50PM
(CDT) in the ICU unit at U.A.B. Medical West in Bessemer, AL. I had the love
of my life for 43 years; as we got married on the snowy/rainy/foggy night of
December 13th, 1968. Charlotte was a good woman/mother/grand-mother/
cook/and homemaker. She was a senior CAREGIVER to others less fortunate
or without any one to help them in a crisis situation. Thank you one and all
in advance for your kindness/support/thoughts/prayers/and concerns. I will
be off the air for a few days grieving over her loss~~!
My prayers are with you. May the Father wrap His arms around YOU and carry you during this time.
May you find come comfort in this poem as I have over the years.

"THE ROSE STILL GROWS BEYOND THE WALL"
Near a shady wall a rose once grew,
Budded and blossomed in God's free light,
Watered and fed by morning dew,
Shedding its sweetness day and night.
As it grew and blossomed fair and tall,
Slowly rising to loftier height,
It came to a crevice in the wall,
Through which there shone a beam of light.

Onward it crept with added strength,
With never a thought of fear or pride,
It followed the light through the crevice's length,
And unfolded itself on the other side.

The light, the dew, the broadening view
Were found the same as they were before;
And it lost itself in beauties new,
Breathing its fragrance more and more.

Shall claim of death cause us to grieve,
And make our courage faint or fail?
Nay! Let us faith and hope receive:
The rose still grows beyond the wall.

Scattering fragrance far and wide,
Just as it did in days of yore,
Just as it did on the other side,
Just as it will for evermore.

It is good to hear someone speak so highly of their wife. You are a very lucky man. My thoughts and prayers are with you, sir.
 
Ala Dan, I will be sending some knee mail tonight for you. My condolences on your loss sir.
The good ones are few and far between.
 
C.S. Lewis had some words that made a deep impression on me, Dan. Lewis said (and I paraphrase) that when we who are believers begin to grasp that we are eternal beings because of Who made us and that we are made in His image for His purposes, and that He loves us deeply, beyond our ability to understand that love, some of the trials and tribulations that we experience here in this shadow land where we are strangers tend to diminish a bit.

One day when we step into eternity, we will be blessed to be in His presence and also in the presence of those whom we loved and who loved us.

Peace, brother.
 
My beloved and I have had only 27 years together ... I cannot begin to fathom what you feel. Please know that we all here mourn your loss.
 
Sorry to hear of your loss. I reckon the Lord needed a Senior care giver up in heaven and he called upon her.

Hang in there friend.

Iggy
 
May God rest her soul in peace and may He grant you strength and comfort in this difficult time.
 
I am so sorry for your loss. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. You have been a very blessed man to have such a kind and caring woman in your life for so many years!
 
Nothing that any of us can say will ease the pain of losing such a wonderful mate. Only God can. I'll be praying for you daily.

I've read and enjoyed your posts for years, and know what a good man you are. Seek solice in God.
 
May you find peace in knowing you will see her again on the other side of the River,in the world to come. The Lord bless and keep you.
