2/2/02 | Guenevere

[Guenevere]

FReeper milagro posted on America the Right Way.. today, that her husband, 1John, died yesterday of a massive heart attack.

John was a fine man, who loved the Lord, his wife, and his country.
He had served in the military, and has a son in the military now.

Please keep milagro & the family in prayer.

This is such a shock to her, and completely unexpected.

Please let her know you are praying for her.

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

Thanks, and God bless.

[Guenevere]

Please post prayers, kind comments, or sentiments to milagro, John's wife.

Our thoughts and prayers to 1John's family. It's always a shock.

[anniegetyourgun]

Milagro - I will be praying. I know the God of all peace and comfort will sustain you. You are only temporarily separated from 1John. Be strong and courageous knowing that your husband is now beholding the glory of our Lord. 1John has entered into His rest to hear "well done my good and faithful servant."

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.

[Faraday]

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.

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!

[SheLion]

My prayers are with you.

[Guenevere]

Thought you would want to know......

[Guenevere]

To let you know.....

[ms.ohioan]

Be happy....in knowing he saw the rebirth of patriotism and love for God.

Be happy ...knowing we have one more "Good Friend", watching over us.

Be happy...knowing 1John is there, saving us a seat.

[kayak]

May God be with you, milagro, even as He welcomes John home.

[AnnaZ]

My sincere prayers for peace for you. 1John was a great FReeper.

 

God bless and comfort you.

 

The First Epistle to the Thessalonians

13: But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
14: For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
15: For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
16: For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
18: Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

[SuziQ]

I'm so sorry for your loss, Milagro. Know that your husband is in the arms of the Lord, and is watching over you and your family.

[FreeAtlanta]

My prayer started, "Dear Father, thank you for 1John..."

my prayers are with you.

[ArneFufkin]

Hey 1John ... find the Chief and start a FR chapter up there! One suggestion ... no LewRockwell.com allowed in heaven!

My thoughts are with his family and friends who will miss him terribly. John's soul is in very good "hands" right now. He was always a courteous, virtuous and wise man 'round here. I'm sure that's the way he conducted his life. That's all we can do in life.

[wendelmyer]

I am so very sorry for your husband's passing; you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers
