I do feel the prayers of all of you and the prayers of my church. I have a calmness. But I also have times of tears all day. But the calmness comes back. It is not joy, or happiness. Its calmness. Peace.
Things I have been worried about are slowly coming together as the peaces of a puzzle.
Slowly. God laid it on my heart to give Gary's Jeep and Blazer to the husband of my adopted daughter. He is not a Christian and maybe this is a seed God is planting.
Some of my family thought I was nuts as I do not know financially how I will pay to live in my house. But God knows and has a plan.
Realtmg, thank you for our talk, it helped me to realize my panic I was feeling is not needed because God has a plan and that is why he took my loving wonderful husband home to be with him.
The funeral is next Friday. So many people will be there. Many unsaved do to the 37 years he worked for that company that closed.
The gospel is going to be preached. Gary's unsaved family is all going to be there. Please pray that souls will be saved.
I love you all, you are a blessing to me.

I continue to keep you and yours in my prayers Sylvia.

It's a long time to wait for the burial. I had to plan my dads funeral. It was so painful and stressful. All the decisions. Seemed like until the funeral was over something was left unfinished and caused me anxiety. I hated the planning. I hope you have had someone to help you along the way as you make all the decisions for this process.

With you in spirit.

God bless you, Sylvia. You are in my prayers.

Love,
Mack

Hi
I wake up in the morning now and my joy is gone. I am so sad. My four children have been great. My little grandson cried at church yesterday. He said "Bumpa" always sang up front.
My Pastor Lew told him it was ok to cry, he had cried many times because his "Bumpa" wasn't up front singing.
The whole church was in tears yesterday. Everyone. Everyone loved Gary.
He was a big man with a big heart who loved people and loved Jesus.
He had a big smile that lit up a room when he entered it.
He put people at ease when someone his height and size could have scared people if he had been made an angry person. But that was not in him.
Christ was in him.
I miss him so much. I can't sleep in any more. He always got up, made coffee and brought me a cup. I cried my eyes out because that will never happen again.
He was loved. He was loved by people he had worked with for 37 years. He was loved by a whole church. He was loved by his family and friends.
And he was loved and adored by me.

Sylvia sis, continuing to lift you and your family up in prayer...
