busybee Posted May 17, 2011 Posted May 17, 2011 I am so sorry for your loss.We are so blessed to have temple blessings in our lives, giving assurance that we will, indeed, be reunited with our loved ones who have gone before us.I don't know where the quote came from, but I remember a friend using it at my Dad's funeral service. I'm probably paraphrasing but it said: As the sun sets on one island it rises, in all it's majesty and beauty on another, and so it is with our spirits. We leave our illness behind us and arrive, beautiful and whole in the next world.Praying that the Comforter will bring you peace and comfort during the days to follow.Jenny

Calm Posted May 18, 2011 Posted May 18, 2011 <br />Words are not enough.They most certainly are not. It is during these types of discussions that I get really frustrated that the only way to communicate with people on the board is long distance, it would be so much more 'right' to be able to simply reach out and hug someone rather than struggle to find something to say that comes close to meaning what I feel.

Lightbearer Posted May 19, 2011 Posted May 19, 2011 May the Lord bless you and your family at this time of trial.
thesometimesaint Posted May 19, 2011 Posted May 19, 2011 USU:May the Lord bless you and your family with peace to the soul. My sincerest condolences.
katherine the great Posted May 19, 2011 Posted May 19, 2011 Oh USU I'm so sorry! I've been away from the board for a bit and I just saw your post. May God be with you and I hope you will keep us posted on how you are doing. (hugs!)
USU78 Posted May 20, 2011 Author Posted May 20, 2011 We buried Kim this afternoon in Brigham City . . . a drizzly, blustery day that didn't allow the possibility of the tent to keep our heads dry. Cleared up for a bit between the service and the graveside . . . but as the piper was marching off towards the trees playing Going Home, it started up again.Still kind of numb, but it was great to have family and friends around.Thanks for all the kind words, my MADster friends.

Somebodyz Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 USU78,Sending hugs and prayers to you and your family. I hope you find comfort in knowing, that one day you and your wife will be reunited and that your wife is now free of her earthly pains and limitation. We are here if you want to talk. I wish we could take your pain away.
