Lux Aeterna - Rest Eternal

My precious father-in-law, who loved me like a daughter for 35 years, died this morning at 6:45 a.m. I have a picture to share, but our internet signal is weak at Mr. B's mom's house and I cannot get it to load.  Will share later.
I cannot thank you enough for the love, kindness and support you have shown me throughout the past two weeks and even before.

"Tears may linger in the night, but joy comes in the morning."  We are rejoicing that he is home at last with a clear mind and free body.

  3. I echo debby's sentiment, Sharon. I know the family's loss is profound, and I also know your beloved father-in-law is finally home and free of suffering. Our continued prayers, as you (all) adjust to this change. How joyful, that you have decades worth of wonderful memories, which have just become all-the-more precious! xxox

  4. What rejoicing is in heaven... Yet, here on earth joy is mixed with grief. You are all in my prayers. Such comfort to know there will be another meeting with great joy unmixed with sorrow.

    Hugs.

  5. Sharon,
    Even though FIL is rejoicing in heaven with his Eternal Father, you'll miss him on earth. In time the pain will lessen and you'll smile when you remember him.

    I continue to pray for all of you.

  6. Sharon,
    So sorry to hear of your loss.

    "I will be Yours, You will be mine,
    Forever in eternity,
    Our hearts of love will be entwined,
    Forever in eternity.
    No more tears of pain, in my eyes.
    No more fears or pain,
    For we will be with You, yes we will be with YOU!"

  16. Hi, Sharon. I just stopped by to let you know that you and your family are still in my prayers.

    Try to go easyand be kind to yourself--hearts need time to grieve and heal--and all of the details will get done soon enough.
