A big thank you to everyone who prayed for my dear MIL.

I am so very sorry to hear this. Please give Trevor my condolences. Love to the family and many congratulations to Ryke.

Christie and I will keep you in our prayers.

So sorry for your loss Chris. May God give your family great comfort and assurance at this sad time.

The Rose Beyond The Wall

A rose once grew where all could see,
sheltered beside a garden wall,
And as the days passed swiftly by,
it spread its branches, straight and tall...

One day, a beam of light shone through
a crevice that had opened wide
The rose bent gently toward its warmth
then passed beyond to the other side

Now, you who deeply feel its loss,
be comforted - the rose blooms there-
its beauty even greater now, nurtured by
God's own loving care.

I'm so sorry for your loss, Chris. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Love, Deb

Chris these time are never easy...my thoughts are with you and your family....soozie

My prayers and thoughts are with you and your family at this sad time. I lost a dear SIL on Saturday morning and the funeral service is tomorrow at 2 PM a bit over a hours drive for us each way. She is now at peace with my dear brother and their son and granddaughter. Hugs Shirley

Oh! I'm sorry Shirley and hope that the peace which God gives us will encompass you at the funeral.

Unfortunately for us it's a 5 hour car trip down to Canberra and and when we return another 5 hours. Love Chris

My heartfelt sympathy to you and your family Chris, always hard to loose a loved one. But however, now she is now in gods care, Cherish the many happy times spent together. Sandra.

Thanks Janette, yes, we are at peace and we all didn't want Mum to linger. Next week will be a big gathering from family from Queensland and South Australia and of course all of our family from Newcastle, New South Wales. Love Chris

Congratulations to your Mother-in-law for getting her wings and to Ryke for his accomplishment. That's quite an honor for each of them.

Yes Viv, we can hold on to that thought. Mum went very quickly once the diagnosis was given. Because she didn't want any intervention it hastened her death. I'm so happy to have so many wonderful people thinking of me. It's brought me great peace. Love Chris

May the Lord embrace you and your family on every leaning side!!! May strength be of support and love a carrier in this time of lost <3 <3 <3

Yes, it has Kathy and I so feel for you at the loss of Malachi, taken too soon. Am thinking of you too. Love Chris

Thank you everyone. We don't know anything more at the moment. There is not going to be an autopsy so we assume that her heart just gave up.

Trev and Amy said she had a lot of chest pain with tingling arms, sore jaw and tightness across her chest on Saturday- and her morphine and the other drug were increased. ❤️ Chris

I am so sorry for your loss. Praying for your family. God give you comfort and peace.

Hugs

God saw she was tired and stretched out His arms and said: "come"
