I'm truly sorry about the loss of your beloved father-in-law.
Keep him in your good memory what he did to you in years.

Oh thank you for your prayers, brianb..it was very nice of you!bigdaddyb said:I'm sorry to post the same thing twice. Then again, I'm sorry that I have occasion to post this twice.
It's from the heart both times.
I'm truly sorry for your loss. This passage from 2 Corinthians 5 is always of help to me when I remember those who have gone before.
1 For we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. 2 Here indeed we groan, and long to put on our heavenly dwelling, 3 so that by putting it on we may not be found naked. 4 For while we are still in this tent, we sigh with anxiety; not that we would be unclothed, but that we would be further clothed, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life. 5 He who has prepared us for this very thing is God, who has given us the Spirit as a guarantee. 6 So we are always of good courage; we know that while we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord, 7 for we walk by faith, not by sight. 8 We are of good courage, and we would rather be away from the body and at home with the Lord.
Praying for you as I type.

Defee said:Remeber that i told you all that my father in law was very ill with
emphysema and lung cancer? Well, he just passed away last Friday
evening, Sept 2nd. What was so hard that it was on my deceased mother's
birthday.
We are just relieved that it is over because he has suffered long enough,
he is finally at peace. It was soo hard to watch him suffer, really. We brought
in his father's gold cross to hang on the wall and he stared at it, just like his
father did when he was dying in the hospital back in 1975!
One good thing before he died and said the words to my husband "I love you
son" and my husband told him that he loved him too. Im glad that they told each other that!
Pray for my husband cuz he really took his death pretty hard and he still
is depressed.
