Prayer request :

Well my Father passed on tonight. My nephew and his wife brought in the last 2 grandchildren that were too young to see him in the intensive care unit. It was just a short period of time after their 8 year old said he loved his great grandpa, and their 6 month old baby girl who was being held by my wife at the time tried reaching out to her great grandpa that he took his last breath and passed on very peacefully. I got to hold his hand as he did so and my son was on his left side rubbing his arm. We all feel he was waiting to have his last 2 grandchildren there. It is certainly a bittersweet time as I will miss him greatly but I am thankful that God took him home so he will not have to suffer here any more. Again I thank you all for your prayers,thoughts, and words of kindness and comforting, Gene.

If ya gotta go, I couldn't think of a sweeter, gentler way to go. Beautiful, in a way.
My thoughts are with your family.

Sorry to hear about your loss "Sledneck". He is truly in a much better place now. I lost my Grandpa in just (7) days. Not much time to prepare for it. God has a plan for everyone, and this will, in some way, make us all stronger. God Bless you and your family.

Sledneck my prayers are still with your family. I pray that He will lead you through this delicate time. Redrev your family is now on my "prayer sticky note" along with Genes. It is great to see that there are so many other Believers on this site. I've been coming to this site for 10 years now. It is the only snowmobile site that I visit regularly. And it is mainly because of the quality of the people that visit this site and truly care about each other as if we are all extended family. The other sled sites tend to attract the 'web punks'. Oh and John's forecasts in the winter keep me here.

I too am now just reading this with tears in my eyes but joy in my heart knowing I'll get to meet another wonderful man when I get to heaven...
I am truly sorry for you & your family but what joy it must have been for all of you to be together when he left here...
I had the same experience while taking care of my gramma.She had suffered numerous strokes & I had to be the only one there at the nursing home to tell her it was ok to go now,it was time to let go & within minutes I watched her take her last breath...
Anyway,it's not about me..I pray you all embrace each other & your family grows stronger...The Lord will give strength unto His people;the Lord will bless His people with peace.

Your Father and your family will be in our thoughts and prayers. I dread the day that we will be in this position as my Father has been way more just a dad to me, but we all must have faith as there is a reason for this...
