Prayer Request

I don't often ask for prayers from my readers, but I am asking now.

A dear, long time friend took a hard fall, hitting his head.  After spending a few days in the hospital, in the wee hours of this morning, he died from his injuries.

My request is not for him, for I know he has met his Maker.  My request is for prayers for his wife.  She not only lost her husband of many years, but she has also lost her very best friend.  Their grown children and grandchildren have lost a wonderful father and grandfather.  My family has lost one who can only be described as a true friend.

Of those of you who are of a mind to pray, I would ask that you pray for the strength and courage his family will need to get through the next few days, and for God's blessings on them as they face life without him.

He was one of the good ones.

    I will pray for your friends family. We too are under the same stress. My FIL is close too. We saw him yesterday, and said our good byes, knowing his time is coming near. I have been thinking of the good times we all have had over the last 30 years. My wife has been quit and also on edge.

    Have a good weekend

    Harry...Thank you. He was in a coma-like state. I think living like that would be worse than death.
