Dearest Barb,
Words cannot even begin to express the sorrow that I feel in my heart for you and your family. Sometimes words are not even enough. No words can begin to take away the ache. But I will keep both you and your family in my prayers. And I will add you all with the names of others that my intercessory prayer group prays for. We will lift you up around the clock, that God may give you peace in the midst of your pain and sorrow.
I know what it means to lose a parent tragically. I know how it feels to lose someone one right after the other. It's a hurt that never goes away but will ease with time. Some might not recommend this, but I will: If you want to scream...scream. If you want to break something...break it. If you want to get mad...be mad. And if you're angry with God, that's okay too; because He understands better than anyone how you feel, and He is there waiting to console you, always with wide open arms.
Remember all the good times and cherished moments. Hold onto them like a banner; but I'm sure you already know this. I know that no words that I can say will ease your grief at this moment; yet I want you to know that there is always someone, some where lifting your name and family up in prayer. You are not alone.
God bless and keep you and your family.
A friend,
Rue

On behalf of my dear friend Barbra, I want to thank you for this remarkably poignant and encouraging letter. I appreciate the truthfulness and compassion of your heartfelt comments. You are indeed a beautiful, tender and compassionate person of quality to have taken the time to have written such helpful words. Thank you immensely.
Jennifer, Ernie & Lynn: Thank you so much!
I appreciate your beautiful words of comfort, your prayers and the addition of our names being added to your intercessory prayer group. To know that people are praying for us round the clock is a comfort for which words cannot express the appreciation that is due for your efforts. But God will honor those efforts, for it is He whom you are honoring with your extension of this outshining expression of comfort.
I thank you, Ruthe, from the bottom of my heart.
