Muriel passed away this morning at approximately 1035am. She is now resting peacefully in the arms of Jesus, no more pain, no more weariness. We are all better people for having known her.
God Bless you Muriel!!!! Thank you for giving me the ultimate gift, your wonderful son Doug. We will all miss you very much.
Hugs,
Amy
Oh Amy, I just saw your update post and then this one. I am so very sorry for your loss. From your journal notes it sounds as if she was a lovely woman and you were a big blessing to her. God bless you all in the coming days.
ReplyDeleteAmy, I have been checking back all day, knowing you would post this but it still breaks my heart to read it. I pray for comfort for you, your husband and your boys, but also pray for peace knowing she's having a grand ol' time up in heaven. From your posts, you can tell how she has blessed your lives and I know you did the same to her. She's probably telling everyone up in heaven about you all right now. Hugs to you all.
ReplyDeleteMay the Lord wrap his loving arms around you and your entire family during this difficult time.

praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God all comfort, Who comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God. for just as the sufferings of Christ flow over into our lives, so also through Christ our comfort overflows.

Amy - So sorry to hear of your loss. Seems lately I jumped over to your site just to read updates on Muriel's condition. I haven't been over in a few days and was saddened to hear the latest news.

ReplyDeleteHugs to you and your family!
I have read through the last few entries, and as I sit here weeping as I type. I only wish that when it is my time to go I will have an ounce of courage that Muriel has shown and witnessed to me. She reminds me of my grandmother who knew it was her time to go and that there was something bigger and more grand waiting to welcome her. I wish you and your family peace in your heart and I pray that God will give your children strength through this difficult time. May peace be with you and sending lots of cyber {{{{hugs}}}} your way.
ReplyDeleteAmy, I'm very sorry for your families' loss.
