My prayers are with you, for strength and peace of mind. G_D is with you, and 1John is with Him.

Prayers also for your son: may he come home safe and sound.

1John was, indeed, a faithful--and long-time--freeper. We lost a thoughtful and good friend. He will be missed.

My most heart-felt prayers and condolences go out to milagro and their family.

I pray that God comforts you and your family until you rejoice together again in Heaven. May the joy of knowing your loved one rests in the peace of Jesus also bring peace to you.

May his conviction direct you; may his goodness sustain you; may our condolences support you.

She told me John would be honored knowing he was mentioned on the Forum......as they both love Free Republic.

Then we shall do more than mention him, we shall pray that a loving God takes him home and rewards him for the goodness of his spirit.

Amen.

[EternalVigilance]

Lifting up prayer to our heavenly Father for strength, comfort, and peace...may his passing turn many to the Lord when they hear of his great faith, and see the presence of Christ in those who have preceded us into the Lord's loving arms.

Oh wow! Thank you. John has a Mac that I know NOTHING about --and I know this photo must be somewhere on it. Seeing it makes me cry--and smile-- both! John would be so honored by this thread. I certainly am--and please know how much strength and comfort each and very one of you is giving me. I found the anniversary card John gave me last May--and it has two eagles flying together in the clouds with the words "Love is the wind beneath our wings". I know for certain now that it is God's love--being sent to me through all of you--that is uplifting my heavy heart right now. Thank you all so much--and God Bless!

My prayers are with you.
