Dear Freeper prayer warriors, please keep Ernest_at_the_Beach and his wife in your prayers.

From Ernest_at_the_Beach | 08/28/2003:

Just to let you know that my wife (Kathy ) is now in her final days. Her pain in the last few months from the cancer was constant and unrelenting .

The last several months had been very difficult as she was unable to eat well and not able to eat at all for the last several weeks.

God will be merciful soon and relieve her of the misery of the dreaded disease!

Prayers would be appreciated!

May Ernest_at_the_Beach....may your wife rest in peace..........and may the Lord give you strength to continue ...........................

[let freedom sing]

Dear Freepers, a note from Ernest:

---

Thanks so much!

I have been lurking a bit, but had not felt like replying!

It will be awhile before I get very active . I have many pressing issues that had been putoff while caring for her!

FreeRepublic was very important in so many respects to handle the difficulties of her care!

Have been quite busy with many of the usual activities, working with my family, they have been a huge help.

Helped a grandson build a nice computer which he had been asking for.

All has helped me thru the loneliness of the past 10 days.

~~~ 

I am very appreciative of the comments , pictures, poems, etc.

 

I have only looked at a little of the thread and just find it a bit overwhelming .

My daughter has taken a look at the thread also and is getting ideas for the power point Memorial Eulogy , she and my son are putting together from a rich trove of photos and other material Kathy had built up over the years.

Not a ping list. Thank you, all.

Thank you so much for the note. Not a day goes by that I don't think of you Ernest. These are the times that the value of family and friends come to the front...

Ernest, words can't express how glad I am that we've helped diminish your pain. Sending Isaiah 61:3 your way.

[Nachum]

May G-d comfort you. May your wife rest in peace.

[Calpernia]

I have no words to comfort for your loss. I do offer my prayers.

"When tomorrow starts without me,
And I'm not there to see,
If the sun should rise and find your eyes
All filled with tears for me;
I wish so much you wouldn't cry
The way you did today,..."

Who wrote this? Where's it from?
It's beautiful.

Thank you, RC. Sad bump
