These are the words of MissAmericanPie…I just removed some things that didn't apply and rearranged a few things. Please keep her, her family, and her husbands physician (Dr. B) in prayer!
From MissAmericanPie
My darling David passed away Sunday night; in peace and faith he went to meet his Lord. Please thank everyone, for me, who faithfully prayed for him this past year and a half.
His Doctor B is in shock and grief, as he was very attached to his patient, and David's death was un-expected at this time. Please pray for his Doctor's hurt and loss also, of a friend and patient, he called, "A perfect gentleman".
I'm exhausted, and can't think of what to say, other than to thank everyone that prayed for a cure for David's cancer for this past year and eight months.
Much to the shock and dismay of David's Doctor, who loved him, and the family that adored him, he passed away suddenly. I spent the last hour with him, comforting him and talking about everything I could think of from our honeymoon to vacations, and told him how proud I am to be his wife.
David was a faithful Christian, champion Team Penner, Soft Ball World's Umpire of the Year, much loved and sought after Little League coach, loving father and husband, faithful friend.
He would cook hams, roasts, barbeque briskets, or beef stew, and take them to the teachers lounge at our son's school so the teachers would have a good lunch, he took cup cakes to the local Fire Station, he was known by many and loved by all.
His laugh was contagious and often heard; if he was ever mad at me I never knew it. Everyday for over eighteen years I was told how much I was loved, not a day was missed. He faced his condition with strength, bravery, and no self-pity. He suffered pain in silence. Our loss is heaven's gain, and from the peace on his face, he's with his loved ones there.
I hope this helps you to know my David…the man that is my darling.
