RIP

Husband and I lost one of our dearest friends this morning. David was diagnosed with Alzheimer's a number of years ago and had been in a sharp decline for the last few weeks. We are heartbroken, but we know that he is at peace with the Lord and that we will see Him again. Still, it hurts now.

David and his wife Jean have been our closest friends for over 40 years and we have been through many wonderful and hard times together. We had always planned to spend our retirements together traveling and enjoying each other's company, but as it sometimes does, life happened instead.
Please pray for his wife, sons and their families and his sister. Thank you so much.

  2. Love and losing a friend is painful! I’m so sorry you are grieving and you must have loved your friend so very much. Things don’t always turn out the way we plan, do they? I’m grieving as I lose my friend, Reaoma, week by week to a dreadful and extremely rare disease. Trusting God to comfort your heart as well as those of the family.

  3. I am so sorry. I know firsthand the pain of losing a loved one to Alzheimer's. It is a cruel and terrible disease. God bless his family and you, too, for I do believe there are friends that are closer than family sometimes. xo Diana
