Untill we meet again....

My father went home today. At 9:41 with outstretched arms, Jesus came to him and said it was time to go. And with one last quavering breath, my dad took his Savior's hand and entered the Kingdom of Heaven. He is in no more pain, he can breathe freely, he is happy and loved. With him, he took a piece of all of our hearts, but he left behind a legacy of love. I will miss you dad....and I will see you again.

My deepest sympathy to you and your family. It is hard when someone we love leaves us. Just know that he will always be with you and whenever you still feel the need to talk with him, he is there .... May god be with you and help strengthen you through this rough time in your life.

I'm so sorry for your loss.  My own father died in 2001.  Unfortunately, his death was not peaceful.  It was the most horrible thing I have ever seen.  But I know he's with Jesus and is no longer suffering.  And that brings comfort.
My prayers are with you and your family.

Words cannot express how I am deeply sorry for you loss, I can only pray... for you to have strenghth and love, for your girls to be surrounded by hugs and love as they grieve, and for your mom as she learns to walk on earth without the man she has loved and confided in for so many years.

May you find comfort in our Saviour as you grieve.

I am so sad to hear your news...I remember when my dad died...it was so hard...I still miss him and its been almost 20 yrs. The only good part about it was knowing that dad was no longer in pain and that he went to Heaven to be with GOD. And we will see each other again. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this hard time. Much love to you.

Oh Sherry, I'm so sorry to hear this.  Yet, I know there has to be a sense of relief that he is no longer in pain.  I remember being very sad when my dad passed yet, I knew he was finally out of pain. ((((((Sherry))))))

Dearest Sherri-
May the peace and love of God comfort you at this time and be with you and the knowledge that you have in your heart all ready that your father is in a better place.  It doesn't make it easier though sometimes because we miss our loved ones.  We have to mourn our loss and sometimes the grief seems overwhelming.  I will keep you in my prayers and thoughts.  God Bless You,
Lisa

I have been and avid reader since summer but never really commented ,,, a bit shy I guess.  I just had to comment when I read this.  I am so sorry for your loss but feel your relief that he is no longer in pain and is watching you all from above.  My condolences to you and your wonderfull family.

Hi Sherry.  I'm really not a stranger to your journal, I love it, but I'm not much of a commenter.  I've followed your entries about your dad.  I'm so sorry for your loss.  Although your father's departure from this life to be with Jesus is joyful, it hurts so much because he won't be on earth with you.  On Thursday, March 10, my mother-in-law was called home to be with the Lord.  It's a great blessing, but we will miss her.  My thoughts are with you and your family.
