give your prayers to RATSTER ..

Rich,

I was 10 posts above this one when Jimmy Wilder called a minute ago to tell me what was going on.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Josh was a good guy.

Jimmy is going to keep me posted on the services & anything you may need. I'll be down there in the next few days I'm sure.

My deepest sympathy goes out to you Rich. I am so sorry for everthing that you have to endure but rest assure that Josh and your Wife are with you at all times. My prayers are with you buddie and we are all here for you.

 

Last night while I was trying to sleep,
My son's voice I did hear
I opened my eyes and looked around,
But he did not appear.

He said:"Dad you've got to listen,
You've got to understand
God didn't take me from you, dad
He only took my hand.

When I called out in pain that night,
The instant that I died,
He reached down and took my hand,
And pulled me to His side.

He pulled me up and saved me
From the misery and pain.
My body was hurt so badly inside,
I could never be the same.

My search is really over now,
I've found happiness within,
All the answers to my empty dreams
And all that might have been.

I love you all and miss you so,
And I'll always be nearby.
My body's gone forever,
But my spirit will never die!

And so, you must all go on now,
Live one day at a time.
Just understand-
God did not take me from you,
He only took my hand.

Psalm 23
The LORD is my shepherd,
I shall not be in want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
He restores my soul.
He guides me in paths of righteousness
for his name's sake.
Even though I walk
through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
Surely goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD
forever.

BLESS TO YOU AND YOURS....IM AM VERY SORRY​

 

May you and all who are touched by this find peace............

 

Hey Rich, It is very hard to write and say exactly how Rita and I feel about your great loss. We just want you to know that if you need ANYTHING...please let us know and we will be there. You are our friend will pray for you and your Family. You have always been the very nicest person to both Rita and I and I just cannot express how badly we feel. Please do not hesitate to call on us anytime for anything, even if it is just to talk. God has a plan for you and your Family and we just have to believe in Him. I don't understand some of the plans that God has for us, but when it is time to know them, it will be crystal clear and make total sense. We love you, Rich!!
