Wow, im sorry to hear of your loss. What a joyful way to go, with family at your side! And then to top it off, the good Lord Jesus waiting above!

In all things, give thanks!
 
2 Corinthians 7:16 Therefore I rejoice that I have confidence in you in everything.

This is this verse that I go to in times like such as this. We may not understand the why or the why now, but our faith must stand in the valley as well as on the mountain.

Praying for those that remain.

THANK YOU ALL for the comments and words of encouragement. I just got back from the memorial service and it was a wonderful service. Over 550 people showed up, many who were friend from out of town.

I also want to ESPECIALLY thank Lupe (El D here on IAP) for coming to the service. I was absolutely blown away to have someone from IAP there. It really touched my heart.

I was honored to be able to make the urn for his remains (he was cremated) and ended up spending all night in the shop last night finishing it up, not getting to bed until 7:00 am this morning. It was made with some really special mesquite and black walnut. I then had it laser engraved and had the shape of the state of Texas cut into the face. He loved Texas and especially bluebonnets and fortunately, I had just a little bit of bluebonnets left from last year so I cast a piece and had it cut to fit the Texas recess and inlaid it into the face of the urn. As soon as I have a chance, I will take some pictures and post them in the Other Things forum.

Again, THANK YOU ALL for your thoughts and prayers. It has been a long journey with his health issue over the last 5 years but now he is able to be at peace

Curtis, I am sorry to hear of your loss. I have not been on here for awhile, so I was not aware of what has been happening. You have me and my families condolences and may he rest in peace. He is now at Gods' right side. Fred.
 
Curtis, I haven't been on for a day or so and just read about your lost. I can't think of anyway to honor your father that is more personal than making the urn. I think that was great. May God's peace rest with you and your family. HWH
 
It was a beautiful Memorial Curtis and Thank you for allowing my wife and I to attend.

I regret not having the opportunity to meet your Father, by all the kind words spoken of him he sounded like a great guy. I am sorry about the pain and suffering your family has to endure but Your father is in a better place now. Someday my Family and I will also know this pain and I hope we show as much courage as you and yours.....
 
May you and your family be at peace knowing a good man's pain and suffering has ended and he is enjoying his reward.
I hope the fond memories of times well spent give you joy in this time of sorrow and keep you in comfort over time.
