We Catholics know our loved ones are always watching over us and interceding for us along with the angels to the Lord our God.  So, we take comfort in knowing we are always surrounded with so great a cloud of witnesses.  Of which Your dear wife is now one.  She will never leave your side while you live.  Till you join her in the heavenly realm.

Hello  David,
I'm   sorry for your loss, and I'll be praying for you.
When I get   over whelmed with  loneliness  for the loved ones who
have gone on , the things   that help the most are    to remember that
every day   is one   day closer to seeing them again. It's also
strengthening to be able to climb   up close to Jesus and remember he
has borne  my grief for each loved  one and He understands.
When it seems really unbearable that there won't be any more shared
memories, I am learning to stop and think about the  sharing being
delayed,  not cut off.
   Let us know how you are, we'll always pray.
Donna Bell

Hi David,
I just opened your message and saw this now.  May the Lord comfort you as
only He can.  Your only choice is to lean fully on the Lord.  I pray he will

show you how to do this and to draw your strength from Him.  My thoughts and

prayers will be with you in the coming days.
In Christ,
Vinny

What I have to say is very difficult for me, and I'm shedding E-tears as I
write.  I won't cumber you with the details at this time, but my dear April

passed very suddenly last evening at about 10 o'clock eastern time, probably

from a heart attack.  That was a big promotion for her, but it left me
broken and lost as to what to do now.  I love her very much, and I'll miss
her terribly until we meet again in eternity.=
