Thanks for sharing that email, Chip's strength at a time when most of us are afraid of facing or even thinking about is comforting and inspirational.
Thank you for sharing that. It touched me. I look forward to that day when I meet him in glory in the presence of our Lord.
Jim;
Prayers for Chip and his family and for your daughter. My little niece had cancer, she's now five years cancer free. Thank God! Please pass along our prayers to Chip.
What a wonderful man, I wish that he could be reassured that the things his family will remember is the love he gave and the good times.
Sometimes I wake from a dream of my darling David, laughing with him as we did so many times during our precious time together. I still feel the foundation of love he spent so many years building for me to stand on.
He is in my prayers, as is his family.
Lord,one of your servants is coming home.
Matthew 25:21
21 His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

jrhepfer, My prayers go up for Chip. Lord, we pray for Chip today. We thank you for allowing us to know him and, for some, to love him. We ask that he be allowed to pass without pain. Release him from his earthly bonds and provide comfort for his family and friends. In Jesus' precious name. Amen
Colonel_Flagg, thank you for the ping.

Offering my prayers
Extend Your healing hand to the precious child that You have chosen to lead others to Your Blessed Self, Merciful Father ... grant unto her fullness of years that her sweet spirit might continue to serve the Author of Goodness and Mercy. You are greatly to be praised, now and forevermore, and we do so now, Creator God, and will do so again with Your children in glory, forevermore. Amen ...
Now that my tears have stopped flowing, I want to say what a beautiful letter that is! It warms my heart to know that he is at peace in his final moments. I pray for comfort and strength for his family and friends. Rest in peace Chip, and know that you are loved and will be missed! God Bless you!

Prayers sent for an obviously good man.
What a beautiful goodbye for now letter.
Not many things choke this old gal up but I saw so many truths in what Chip shared.
God Bless You Chip. May the Lord await you with open arms as you have confessed your trust and love for him.
Pity you for having it so close, the smell.
The wind blows up toward our home and the visiting smokers at our neighbors house who are outside their home send the smell right into our living area and last Sunday we got a big whiff while I was showering my disabled son and we both looked at each other and went ewwww....it passed but he has severe asthema and just the smell grosses us out.
I hate cigarettes and the stench and I have smoking off limits in certain rooms in my home. LOL he has to either smoke outside or in the bathroom when he comes over.
God bless you Chip, and may your passing be easy.
