So the angles came to take him today.....

My brother in law Dave passed away this morning after a long battle with ALS.
The suffering is now over and he is at peace. And he is with MA. My heart is broken yet again. I'm loosing my faith......


Thank you all for you for your well wishes and kind thoughts and prayers and pixie dust. I appreciate it all.

[DisneyIsTerrific]

Oh, Holly, you've had a tough time of it. Big :hug: and lots of prayers and :wizard: for you and all your family.

:lovestruc ya!

[NemoMom07]

:hug: to you Holly and your family. Please do not loose faith. What is to come after we leave this planet is far greater, but to lose someone we do care about and feel left behind is terriable heartache. Try to remember that you BIL is no longer suffering. That is what held me together when I lost ds13 a little over a year ago. And since then I have had several experiences of this total peace. When my grandma passed away this April and I had to walk into her house with her no longer there it was extrememely hard, but I later felt this sense inside of me of her telling me that she and my ds13 are together and for the first time she gets to talk to him. It is weird and hard to explain, but I felt a big sense of pece and happiness. And somehow felt them right then together.

Please know that I will keep in you in my thoughts and prayers and for you to still hold the faith. Take care.

Holly Hugs my friend. I know it's hard when our faith is tested like yours has been. and as hard as it is for you not to have him here try to remember that he is at peace his body is healed and he can do all the things he could no longer do here. He has a plan for all of us and I try hard not to question it but trust me there are days (many of them). Sometimes there are weeks.....

For me that means Gram and Gramp are coon hunting with our favorite coon dog. try to think of his favorite thing and how happy that made him and he's free to do it again.

Try hard to look at the positive side of it, he's no longer in pain, he no longer feels like a burden for needing someone with him, he's with Ma,......

WE love you try to get some rest,

[morgansmom2000]

I am so so sorry for your loss.

You know I'm not a religious person, but I am spiritual, and I do believe that all things happen for a reason. It may take some time to figure out the reason, but it will be revealed in the end.

My thoughts are with you and your family - please take some time to take care of yourself too. :hug:

[bearbear]

Holly, my deepest sympathy for your sister, you, and the family.:hug: I believe your BIL is at rest, pain free, spending eternity with family members who have passed before. He and your mother are watching over you all, taking care of you.

I know this time is overwhelming with the funeral plans. Your sister is so lucky to have you to take care of her.

Tears are a sign of love, and I know there will be many great tears for the great love she had for your BIL.

[lovingthemouse]

Dear Holly - my deepest sympathy to you and your family. Your wonderful bil is suffering no more - either emotionally or physically, and is at peace. Although you feel your faith is being tested once again, trust the there are many angels watching over you all, and God has special plans too.
My heart understands your pain, but as much as it hurts, love and the strength of family and friends can sustain you! Caroline

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

I am very sorry to hear about your loss. It is very hard, but the suffering is over. I lost my SIL at the young age of 23 almost 5 years ago. It is very hard, but you will find the strength to get through and your friends and family around you will keep you strong.

[DisneyBarlans]

[AlexWyattMommy]

:hug: I am so sorry for the loss your family is dealing with and the pain you are experiencing. Again.

I wish I had words of healing and hope to help you through.

Prayers and hugs for you and your family.

[LindaBabe]

So sorry, Holly, for your loss.

Count me among the "not religious", but I believe the power of the universe has a plan, and while it may not be revealed to us in this place and this time, everything happens for a reason. May you find comfort and peace in your heart knowing he is together with those who have gone before.

[jacksmomma]

Holly,

Sorry you have expereinced such loss in such a short amount of time...and then God threw a sick child on top of that. Everyone has said what I was going to say...just do not give up on your faith, God will get you through.

:flower3: and :grouphug:

[JESW]

Before I lost my grandmother a few years ago she told me to remember that first there would be tears whenever I thought of her, but over the course of time the tears would slowly be replaced by smiles. And, eventually, the smiles would be what remained.

It took a very long time, but it did happen. I pray the same will someday be true for you and your family.

[SusieStone]

Holly,

I am so sorry for your sadness and mourning. I can tell you that it will ease with time. Virg use to tell me that healing can come in medicine, miracle and death. Your brother in law is healed in the stripes of our Savior. I am praying for grace, comfort and peace that comes from Him. Your brother-in-law will be celebrating his Independence from his disease.

Holly,

I'm just getting back on the boards and was so sorry to hear this. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family as you go thru this. Please remember his pain is no longer and he will be watching you all from above with smiles and laughter!
