Helen As You Grieve the Loss of Your Husband
Love expressed is never lost, for God brings love to life; His hand creates the precious bond between a man and wife.
With grace He shelters memories held deep within the heart; To strengthen and to comfort them whenever they´re apart.
For God will call them home one day, eternity to gain; His arms outstretched to welcome one, the other to sustain.
I am Praying God will comfort you and bless the memories your heart holds, Helen
I will always remember Richard as my very dearest friend and the absolute Best next door neighbor in Olmsted Falls for a decade and a half, and making Pizza, watching movies together, visiting with his sons, him introducing me to squid, and fondly listening to so may old stories he told of his past and family, and him leaving the signature trail of popcorn (We Both loved) from his apt door into mine and vice versa.
He protected me from harms way once when no other neighbor would that I will NEVER forget.
Even my long forgone Parents loved him and my father would cook for him and drive from North Royalton to leave by his apt door.
With Prayer and Sympathy
Believe in the Lord Helen and remember this always....
Let Your steadfast love become my comfort according to Your promise. Psalm 119:76
With Love always, NancyLee
