Life does not cease to be funny when people die any more than it ceases to be serious when people laugh.
George Bernard Shaw (1856 - 1950)
Just wanted all my blogger friends to know that my husband died suddenly Sunday night. I will be posting in the future, but need to get things in proper perspective first. My family are all ok. He did not suffer
Hope the New Year finds all well, see ya when?...

Oh no..I am so sorry and send my deepest sympathies..Please take care...I don't know what I would do if I was in your shoes..
I saw your email today and just wanted to say how terribly terribly sorry I am. Please know that you are so much in my thoughts and prayers.
I thought of him when we left the church this afternoon in the blowing snow; it was a Colorado moment. It's still windy here, but the sun is shining now.
I'm here if you need anything.
I am glad that we made it to the visitation.
You know that Rob and I are here for you and your family.
Take care of yourself
My thoughts are with you at this time! Damn, death sucks! But it's part of life, and we must continue on. What other choice do we have? Sit around and be miserable forever? I don't think Jim would want that! Remember all the good times, forget the bad, and you will get through it!
The Rose Beyond the Wall
Near a shady wall a rose once grew,
Budded and blossomed in God's free light,
Watered and fed by the morning dew,
Shedding it's 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 it's fragrance more and more.
Shall claim of death cause us to grieve
And make our courage faint and fall?
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 forevermore.
~ A. L. Frink ~

Sending deepest sympathies to you and your family. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.
My thoughts go out to you. May you and your family find comfort.
I am so sorry to read that your husband passed away. This is one of the events in life you'll never get used to. I know what you are going through. I wish you all the love and strength you need.
I am so sorry to read this. You and your family are in my heart and thoughts.
I am so very sorry for your loss.
I have never visited here before, and I'm sorry for that omission. Rambling Woods was kind enough to let some other bloggers know of your loss so we could stop by and offer our sympathy. So I'm doing just that. Please know that you have friends old and new who offer you prayers and thoughts for you to cope with your loss and begin to heal.
So sorry to hear of your sudden loss. May God bless and hold you close in your grief.
I too heard of your loss through Michele at Rambling Woods. I took a peek at your site and am impressed with the wisdom that seems to be a part of you. I'm sure that your inner strength will carry many through this difficult time. Please know that tears moisten the eyes and hearts of many who know you, and many who have yet to make you their friend. I hope to be counted among those who wait in the wings to get to know you better.
You and your family will be mentioned in my prayers.
God's Peace!

my thoughts go out to you and your family
Dear Grannie,
Although new to skywatch and not here before, I saw a note from another blogger about your tragedy. I'm relieved he did not suffer, but am concerned about you. Sending deepest sympathies for losing your sweetheart.
May his soul rest in peace and may God give you the strength to cope in these troubled times.
May you find your way through this darkness into a place of healing and light.
I'm stopping by from Rambling Woods to send you thoughts and prayers.
I'm so sorry to hear about your loss and hope that loving memories will help you cope with your loss.
Sincere sympathies to you and your family.
My thoughts and condolences to you, Momma.
I learned of your husband's passing from my good friend, Michelle of Rambling Woods.
My deepest sympathy. My heart is with you in your loss.
I'm very sorry. You will be in my thoughts. I look forward to reading you again when you return. Take care and give yourself time. We'll all be here when you return.
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I can only imagine the pain you are going through. Please take one day at a time and know that you have a lot of blogging friends out there who care so very much.

I am so sorry at your sudden loss.
If there can be any comfort in words then know that we all of us go at the appointed time, I've had experience and was sent back three years ago and still struggle on.
The winds of change have come into your life and although strong winds can be destructive, at least they blow away the cobwebs and clear the air so you can in time see the road ahead more clearly.
I extend the hand of friendship and envelop you in a great hug.
I'm very sorry to hear about your Husband. Please remember to take of yourself, ok?
I came via Rambling Woods as well, and wanted to add something that was passed on to me by a dear friend. Unfortunately this is the second time this particular quote has surfaced in my posts and comments recently, as
the blogging community recently lost one of its own as well, very suddenly and unexpectedly.
These words have been a real source of solace to me ta various times, and I hope they will be for you as well.
"The only way around these things is through them. So if you bury your dead, bring a shovel, if you burn them warm to the fire. Look into whatever riddance you consign them to. Lend a hand, stand and weep or watch and wonder. But stay until it's done. Keep the names of your dead alive among your people. You get one father, one mother, one true love, one life and maybe a couple of good dogs. There is no easy way to do this. So do it right: weep, laugh, watch , pray, love, live, give thanks and praise; comfort, mend, honor and remember." - Author Unknown
I am sorry for your losss. Please accept my deepest sympathies!
I'm very sorry. I will keep you in my thoughts! Rambling woods sent me over...
I am so sorry for your loss. Please know that we are all holding you in our thoughts.
I also came over from Rambling Woods and send you my deepest sympathies.
I read of your loss from Ramblingwoods, and just wanted to stop by and offer condolences. I'm so sorry you're having to go through this.
I came from ramblingwoods too. Compassion knows no boundaries. May you feel the presence of love and peace in your heart and feel the comforting touch of God's arms wraped around you and your family.
You have my prayers and deepest sympathies! may an angel embrace and watch over you.
A sudden loss has taken you by surprise and shaken your world upside down. I pray you will find support and solace through family and friends. I have never visited here before, but word travels fast in the blogging world:) I am so sorry for your loss. Jan
I just wanted to drop off a comment (came here from RW)...to say I hope you and your family find comfort with each other and I'm so sorry that you experienced the loss of your husband. My best friend recently lost hers suddenly and I know what a shock it is.
so sorry.
It would seem that there is shock, as well as loss of a loved one. One day at a time, and don't forget to eat some nutritious food even if you are not hungry. God bless you and your family and friends.
I am so sorry, and will be sending thougts of peace and healing your way. Take care of yourself.
I am so very sorry for your loss. I don't think there's a lot of comfort in words at a time like this, but please know you are in my thoughts and prayers. I wish I could do more for you. Love, Denise
MANY THANKS ONE AND ALL, Yes words cannot exprees the loss of my loved one, but I will soon try and put out some words! Love to all
oh my goodness, I just checked the blog today, I am so sorry. I wish I had something better to say.
Please know you and your family are in my prayers - if you need anything at all, don't hesitate to ask!
