| Hello friends, I am sorry to share that my beloved mother in law Harriet has gone to be with the Lord on March 17. This was sudden and very unexpected; so the family is still in shock. All four children (John is the youngest and only son) were there for her and the week was filled with Blessings and celebrations of a joyful womans life and accomplishments. Please pray for John as he really has not stopped to let it sink in, I'm worried about him. Thanks prayer warriors, hope your Easter was wonderful.

| | Donna, I will be praying for you and your family!! I lost my mother in a car wreck 3 years ago and my son did the same thing. He was very close to my mom and instead of dealing with his grief he bottled it up inside. It is a very hard thing to loose someone you love suddenly like that. I pray that God will give you and your family the strength to go through this hard time!!

| | I will be praying for you. I too experienced the same thing when my mom died from lung cancer. It was not sudden but I was in denial the whole time. I did not grieved. I hardly shed tears. My dad had to pound my back and said , "you have to cry, let it out". I started mourning after 2 years and continued for 3 more years where the rest of the family has moved on with their lives. The good news is God is patient and gentle with me. He gave me the grace to take time and make me understand in times where I am not thinking at all. Up to this day, I hold my mom in my heart so dearly and cry sometimes when I miss her. I was able to let go but I just realized how much impact she made in my life that I am also living it out with my daughter. I knew my mom prayed for me to grow up as a strong Christian and its coming true. John will be okay because God holds his heart. He will fulfill his promises to his people. He will fulfill His promise to John's mom. To John, He will shower him with peace and comfort beyond understanding. Blessings, Nice

| | Thank you so much for sharing. I, too, am a motherless child and miss her as much now as 11 years ago. John was talking about our summer plans last nite, that was so nice to hear. We keep focusing on the Blessings of the week, yet I know his heart is just breaking. He was her only son and the youngest. She was so proud of him in his missions work...she never got to Haiti so I just know she is in Heaven holding one of our past sponsor babies who died of Aids. Thanks again.
