Tom:
I was so sorry to hear of your wife's passing. I can only tell you that you have been in my prayers and your family. May the God that our grandpa and grandma knew, fill you with His peace and may he comfort you and your family!
I know it has been years since we have been in contact, but I still remember some times in our younger years at Grandpa and Grandma's! You and I both know that they are in Heaven today!
If you ever get this way or need someone to talk with, call me! I will give you my numbers. My wife Sherry and I started Circle of Friends Home Care and Circle of Life Hospice here in Chariton back in 2002. I do chaplaincy with our Hospice as well.
My cell #641-203-0897, home is 641-774-2520 and my e-mail address is emcdonald@cofhomecare.com.
I would love to talk with you but I promise to keep you in my prayers in the days ahead. Again, I am so sorry for you and your family's loss!

Tom and boys, I am so sorry to hear about your wife and mother. My heart is with you all. I can only imagine what you are going through. Stay close to God and let him carry most of the burden for you. I wasn't close to Rebecka but I know she made you happy. I love you all and if there is anything I could do for you, I am just a phone call away. Sis and aunt.

When those we love have left this earth, we still can feel them near. We'll see a picture, hear a song, and its just like they are here. And when we call upon our faith, when we believe and trust, we know the ones we care about are always close to us.

I just found out of her passing and am taken aback of the news. Although I didn't know Becky that well, I will miss seeing and talking to her at the DMACC Cafe. I just wanted to express my sympathy to you - her family and friends. May you find comfort and solace in your family, friends, and faith at this time of loss.
