Thanks to each of you for being good friends to Arlin.

He was a better friend to us, keeping us abreast of all the developments in the Episcopal Church crisis, and keeping our spirits up.

I told him once or twice how much I appreciated the pings, even if I didn't always reply. Very glad now that I did that.

I am so sorry for your loss.

[Martin Tell]

I am so sorry. Although I never met Arlin in person, through our correspondence I knew him to be a gentleman and a valiant warrior for the faith. I will really miss him.

Grant to the departed eternal rest; let light perpetual shine upon them.

"I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will award to me on that Day, and not only to me but also to all who have loved his appearing." 2 Timothy 4: 7 & 8.

I have also found one of the readings from All Saints' Day, Ecclesiasticus 44: 1-15 ("Let us now praise famous men ...") applies to good men like Arlin.

I will have his honorable name placed on my parish prayer list.

[GirlShortstop]

Requiescat in pace Arlin.  I am so sorry for your loss Mrs. Adams, and pray that Our Lord's love and mercy will give you strength through this difficult goodbye, for now.

Peace.

I'm sorry for your sudden loss. May God ease your burden in the difficult time.

I will miss the loyalty and dedication ahadams2 displayed to our Lord Jesus here on this board until I finally meet him in paradise and we sing praises together. May God comfort you and your family.

[N. Theknow]

Oh no.

I'm so sorry for your lose.

I'm sorry I can't type anymore right now.

Mrs. Adams,

I am so dreadfully sorry to hear this. Arlin has kept our spirits up here, kept us informed on church matters, always with good humor and grace. He will be sorely missed.

My family and I will be offering our most sincere prayers on his behalf and yours. I am certain from our fairly extensive correspondence that he was a man of strong and lively faith, and he is indeed with the Lord. May Christ, the Saints, and the angels comfort you in your loss.

When you have time, please let us know if there is any memorial to which we could send contributions in his name.

My condolances to you and your family, Mrs. Adams. May God comfort you and yours during this difficult time.

Dear Mrs. Adams,

Thank you for posting this to the forum. Over the past year, your husband did a remarkable job of defending his faith and advising others of the reactions following the election of the openly gay bishop. May our Lord welcome him into His kingdom with open arms.

Anima Christi
Soul of Christ, make me holy
Body of Christ, be my salvation
Blood of Christ, let me drink your wine
Water flowing from the side of Christ, wash me clean
Passion of Christ, strengthen me
Kind Jesus, hear my prayer
Hide me within your wounds
And keep me close to you
Defend me from the evil enemy
And call me at the hour of my death
To the fellowship of your saints
That I might sing your praise with them
for all eternity, Amen.

we will put him on the Anglican Prayer list here in Dallas. God blessed the Free Republic with his devotion to His work and how Arlin shared it with other men and women who are devoted to the Lord and the Anglican tradition.

Please accept my condolences.

Be Seeing You,

Dear Mrs. Adams,

My heartfelt condolences to you and your family. Mr. Adams was a wonderful person, and it was always a pleasure to read his posts on FR.

Dear lady, I am absolutely stunned. Words truly fail. Your husband and I had become very good "cyber friends" over the last year, and he had been a great sounding board for me on matters of faith. We had "connected", in some way tat worked for us both. I so looked forward to seeing the pings from him.

Really can't say much more now, becuse I truly don't know what to say..I'll try later..but two questions, to try an help with some understanding of that which in incomprehensible..Was there any history of heart problems,a nd how hold was your husband? I'd bery much liek to make a donation in his name, will you please advise us where it can be sent. And I will pray for him, and for all of you, in church tomorrow. The Peace of the Lord be with you...

[Grampa Dave]

This really saddens me.

I have gotten to know Arlin since the Gay Bishop fiasco. We have exchanged many interesting and private freep mails about local church news in your areas, other areas and mine.

Arlin did a fantastic job! We will miss his hard work and dedication in getting the real news out to us.

May the Good Lord hold you and your family in his arms as you go forth.

Peace!

[Lurking2Long]

Praise the Lord for his salvation!

My sympathies on hearing of your great loss.
