My Daddy Has passed tonight..

Hobbit, you have my sincere condolences. For me, it's been just over 4 years now, but I can tell you that you will always remember the good times you shared with your Dad....
 
Hoisehobbit please accept my deepest condolences. I lost my Dad just after Christmas and it still hurts. We can never know the Lord's plans but rest assured that He will care for you in this terrible time. I grieve with you Brother.
 
HH- You have my utmost sympathy- I suddenly lost my Dad two months ago, and I will probably continue to quote him years from now. Fortunately, the last time I saw him alive (on Father's Day) ended with a hug and 'I love you' from both of us...
I must echo what's been said already a few times here- they're never really gone as long as they are remembered...

Househobbit;

I am sorry for your loss and can truely share your pain, for my own father passed away as well; at about 11:50 this evening. He was in a hospital in Lafayette with double pnemonia, congestive heart failure, and an infection. He has been sick for several weeks so it is not unexpected; but never full prepared for it.

I believe Tropical Storm Lee was passing through the Lafayette as Dad passed on; like Mark Twain and Beethoven; that seemed like the right way for Dad to go. I'll miss you, Dad.

-James
 
I'm sorry for your loss, I lost my father about 6 years ago. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

We're in this together; HH; we will lift each other up with our prayers.

My family and friends have surrounded us in our time of grief; and I hope they are doing the same for you. Likewise, PM me as well. Rather than lean on your shoulder, we will lean on each other and hold each other up.

HouseHobbit & James,

You are both in my thoughts and prayers.

Grief is never easy and sometimes words can't express our symapthy.

When I lost my first wife back in 1992 these words from my daily devotional gave me comfort ....


In the pathway of faith we come to learn that the Lord's thoughts are not our thoughts, nor His ways our ways. Both in the physical and spiritual realm, great pressure means great power !

Although circumstances may bring us into a place of death, that need not spell disaster -- for if we trust in the Lord and wait patiently, that simply provides the occasion for the display of His almighty power. "Remember his marvelous works that he hath done; his wonders and the judgments of his mouth" (Ps. 105:5)

I trust the Lord to comfort you in the days and weeks ahead.

Pete.
 
Sorry to hear of your loss.
My condolences.

My dad died a year ago - Sept 3 2010.

Sad times

Lost a bunch of my own to mr grim, so, i know how i took that hurt and i figure we're all kinda alike in some ways.. You have my deepest sympathies, and as always, remain in my prayers.. Your a good brother.. Love ya.

I have not replied until now as this has caused me to spend much time in reflection. My dad is still chugging along. I lost my Mom a few years ago, and I'm still occasionally hit with emotion over it.

For both HouseHobbit & James..

I am terribly sorry for your loss. Please accept my deepest condolences. Hopefully the hurt will ease over time. I will offer prayers that it will be so.

God Bless,
Robert
 
My condolences to you and your families HH, James and Mike. Never an easy thing to go thru until it happens to your own parent(s). Thoughts and prayers with you all.

Both of mine are gone and it's a different world without them. But that's the price of getting older. Sadly, none of us can live forever.
 
Thanks very much to all..
Our family here at SOH is a true blessing..
I have all the arrangements made..
And Saturday we will lay My Dad to rest in Our family's graveyard in Kentucky..
His birthday would have been Thursday, so we move it all back so as not to bury him on His Birthday..
I will open the grave and close it as I have done for all my family for 35 years..

To my Brothers here who also have loss their loved ones, My heart grieves for you and I will Hold each of you in My prayers..
Thanks to all..
God bless each of you..
