Wow, I have no idea what to say.

You and her family have my prayers.
Wish I could ease your pain and loss somehow.

Re: Death in the family

Ed,
I'm going through a grieving period right now, too, for the loss of a close friend. I sympathize with you and her family. Let your faith in God give you the strength to get through this tragedy. How about the rest of her family, are they o.k.? Keep us posted and we'll be thinking of you.

Re: Death in the family

This is a tragedy touching family and friends. It puts so many of our daily problems and squabbles in humble prospective. Having laid two of my children into the grave I've come to understand the concept that no parent should ever outlive a child, no matter what the age. I am saddened with this news and my thoughts and prayers are with April's family.

The timing of her death is especially tragic as it has occurred around what should be one of the most joyous times of the year. For those that knew and loved April this time of the year will never be the same.

I can only pray that the God's Peace can settle in the hearts of her family and friends and they know that April has only passed into the eternities to a better life. It's such a hard pill to swallow, understand and accept any time, let alone around Christmas.

I believe that families are forever and the bonds of love and fidelity continue after death. That concept gives me great solace as my daily thoughts drift in quite times to those who have gone on into that great void before me. I look forward to the time I will lay aside my mortality and slip into the eternities. I know that I will be greeted by my children and those that loved me here on earth who have gone on before.

It will be a great family reunion!

I can only hope and pray it will the same for April and her family and friends.

Re: Death in the family

There are many things one can say about a better place and God's will and, although they are all true, nothing can remove the pain. Be assured, however, that time will ease the pain, but not diminish the love. Grief is an unavoidable part of love; the other side of the mirror.

Pass along our condololences to her family.

And keep us informed as you learn more.

Re: Death in the family

I'm so sorry to hear this. There is never a good time for something like this to happen, but it always seems worse when it's in the holiday season.

At least it sounds like you know exactly where she's at. And for as much as the loss hurts, she couldn't be in a better place.

My prayers go out to you and her family.

:Folks I'm gonna make this sticky for a while:

Since this is so close to the holidays, we should all celebrate her life each year to honor her. I hope the Lord gives you the faith to carry on and the strength to see it through.

My family and I send our deepest sympathys to her family and you. We recently lost a dear friend and know how difficult it is. Even though it already been said, she is in a better place...there is no sickness, no hunger, no war, no pain, only happiness and love exsist.
I beleive God has a plan for us all, this is just part of Gods plan, but be assured you will meet again.
Please keep us all posted as to anything we can do to help,
John
