May the Lord shelter you under His wings as you walk through the valley of the shadow, I know He will keep you through this difficult time, friend. xoxo Joni
Dear Sandra, this is my first visit to your blog and I am deeply sorry for your loss. I know what you are experiencing. My son was killed in Iraq on June 13th of this year. I know that he is alive and well as he has visited ( and continues to visit his daughter, brother Matt, myself and others ) us through many ways. Just this weekend Matt was watching the LSU/Alabama game and he could smell Nicky's cologne in his room ( Nicky was a huge LSU fan ). While it brings us some comfort to know that he is still around there are days and nights of excrutiating pain at the thought of not seeing him, holding him and fixing his favorite meal of chicken curry and watching him lovingly raise his daughter Eva. I know that there will be moments that your Dave will come to you and family to let you know that he is there for you through all eternity. It is only time that seperates us from each other. My heart is with you…….
May God be with you in this time of need. Ours prayers are with you. I have been so busy with moving and getting ready for our trip I almost missed this. We are so sorry for your loss.
One thing is true, You are loved. I am struck by the tenderness of your posts about your precious husband Dave. The bond the two of you share goes deep and is lasting. We grieve as those who have hope. Hope of seeing our loved ones again, hope of healing from pain and grief. The passage of time does not ease the loss; we just grow to a different normal. I am praying for you and your loved ones in the days ahead. I know you will find comfort and courage to carry on.
I can only imagine the grief you are experiencing right now. So sorry to hear about your husband passing and pray the God of all comfort will meet your needs at this time. God bless you.
Oh Sandra…I'm so sorry to hear this news. My thoughts and prayers are with you during these most difficult days. I pray that God wraps his loving arms around you giving you comfort.
Oh Sandra, my heart is so heavy for you and your family. I'm so sorry to hear this sad news. God bless you. Thoughts and prayers are being sent your way.
you have been such in inspiration to me throughout dave's terrible battle. i pray that the Lord will make His nearness and His love for you as a blanket.
Hi Sandra, Even though we have never met, I know we are sisters in Christ. I will be lifting your name up in prayer for the next several months to come. If you need anything just email me, lmlynch42@frontier.com. I believe that God can do anything and send the comfort of his love to you when you need it the most.
Sandra, you don't know me – don't know if I've visited before. Just wanted to come by and offer my deepest sympathy to you in the loss of your husband, Dave. Misha told us. My prayers are with you and your family as you go through this time and continue your journey on without him. In Him, Vickie
I am so saddened to hear of your husband's passing. Though I have never met you, I have followed your blog for a while. You are in my prayers. May the God of all peace give you comfort.
My thoughts, my prayers and my virtual hugs are being sent to you and my God's grace wrap itself firmly around you and comfort you until you and Dave are reunited.
Words seem so small when we experience such a large loss in our lives… I'm stopping by via Misha's blog to extend my small words of sympathy. It looks like you are in the arms and prayers of many. I'm joining them in sending my thoughts and hugs in a virtual way.
I am very sorry that your husband has passed. I have walked in your shoes and know the depth of your loss. Sending healing thoughts to you and comfort from afar.
Dear Sweet Sandra .. You are in our prayers today. May Gods hands hold you in them tenderly embracing you and filling you with strength, and his peace. I'm so glad that God blessed you and Dave with so many years together and that you both shared the love of Jesus Christ.
Sandra, I am truly sorry my friend. My prayer is that God's peace will surround you and that His grace will be sufficent. Knowing that one day you two will be rejoined…when you see the face of our Saviour welcoming you with open arms, you'll see Dave's face as well standing there to embrace you. I will be lifting you up in prayer durring this difficult time.
Sandra, there are no words. I am so very sorry to hear of this. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. I wish you all the comfort and healing possible. May you find solace in your happy memories.
Sandra, I am so sorry. I'm so glad you had that last wonderful trip together. You already know that God's love surrounds you but please know that my love and prayers do also. Hugs!
Sandra, I am so sad to read this post today. We have all prayed for Dave throughout his illness, and we have prayed for you, as well. Thankfully, you are surrounded by your beautiful lands and animals, as well as friends and family. My heart hurts for you, my precious friend. Please know you are loved…
Dear Sandra, I am so sorry. It has been a rough go and I know you miss him. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Lord, wrap your arms of love tight around Sandra and give her your peace and rest. Safe in the arms of Jesus, both here and there.
I am at loss for words. I had hoped for much more time for the two of you; I guess God had other plans. Please know J and I are keeping you in our hearts, in our thoughts, and in prayer.
Dearest Sandra I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. I know you and Dave both had a hard time these months. I have kept you both in my prayers and will continue to do so. I don't think there are words to express my sadness or ease your pain right now. Just know that you have many friends met and unmet that care and cry with you.
Oh Sandra Sweetie… I am so sorry to hear of Dave's passing. I am sending many prayers and thoughts your way sweet friend. May you feel Gods comfort as his arms envelope you.
I can only imagine what a hard thing this must be. I am so very sorry, and please know that you WILL be in my prayers tonight and in the days to come. I know your own faith, which you so valiantly share with us, will be at least some comfort to you to help you through.
Sweet Sandra ~ Your precious prince, Dave has joined our Savior & sits with Him at the throne, Sandra. May his soul RIP. God bless you & hold you closely, my precious friend. You have my phone number when you are ready to talk.
We are both lifting you & Dave in prayer. God is holding you in His loving arms, sweetie.
Sandra my prayers are with you. I know your heart is heavy but I also know Dave is happy now and that he will always be there watching over you. Hugs my friend
Thank you for visiting Thistle Cove Farm; may God bless you, yours and the work of your hands and heart. My goal is to respond, here, to your comments although it may take a while. Anonymous comments negative, rude or detrimental in nature will be removed.
I'm over from Misha's blog post just wishing you love, light, and healing energies in your difficult time right now.
My heart goes out to you and your family-From the obituary, it sounds like your Dave was quite the man.
I shall take someone special out to dinner in his honor 🙂
May peace and comfort be with you always.
I am so very sad with you, to hear this news.
Fondly,
Glenda
