Update:Scotsman's Father near Death … Prayers are still needed for Family

Prayer's requested for Scotsman's father, Mr.William Allen Patterson age 84

Bob ... he lingers.

The DNR (Do Not Resuscitate) is in place, no feeding tubes, no heroics. He rests, comfortably.

The doctors are all in agreement with our decision, and we sit, taking turns, holding his hand.

Please express my heartfelt thanks, and the thanks of my mother, to all my FR friends that replied to your prayer request. I absolutely believe that it is helping my father to find his way across that bright line between life and Life Eternal.

Thank you all.

For those of you that wish to contact the family … I have listed the family address below.

Scotsman

Scotman's father:
William A. Patterson
38411 Piccadilly Sq.
Willoughby, Ohio
44094

Bob, could you please post the above message for me? I don't have a whole lot of time right now, and for the immediate future.

Thanks.

Till a' the seas gang dry, my Dear

And the rocks melt wi' the sun

While the sands o' life shall run.

Prayers are on the way. It's a tough thing to let go. But there is a place of Quiet Rest near to the Heart of God.

Scotty,

You're never very far from my mind. God help you through this difficult time, and help your dear father find peace in the mansion the Lord has prepared for him.

We pray that William Allen Patterson be lifted on the wings of the angels to the everlasting refuge of peace and joy and fufillment in God's time. We pray for Mrs. Patterson and Scotsman and family, that their sadness be changed to joyful anticipation of the time when they will be reunited again, under grace and in a perfect way in name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Heavenly Father, thank You for the time You are giving to Mr. Patterson and his family. Thank You for the angels that stand guard around his bed and each of his loved ones. Thank You for the peace only You can give during these moments. Let us never forget what waits for us on the other side, how we will all retain our memories and love for each other, the rejoicing that will happen when we are all at last home with You. Thank You Father!

Merciful Father, please extend Your rich blessings and bounty to this dear family. Provide for every need, and send Your Comforter to be with them always. Fill each heart with joy that Mr. Patterson will rest in Your arms until we join him. In Jesus' name...Amen!

Often people ponder how God can allow the suffering and death of innocents in this world. The only answer is that that which awaits beyond this life is so wonderous that all else pales into insignificance.
