My heart is aching for you and your family, LeeAnn. We will lift you all in prayer from here. Mother Mary, wrap them in your mantle and comfort their sorrow. Eternal rest grant David, o Lord, and may perpetual light shine upon him.

LeeAnn, your family is in my prayers. I cannot imagine the pain you must all be in.

Prayers for the repose of your husband's soul, as well.

LeeAnn I am so, so sorry.   I have been praying for you and your family since reading this yesterday.   May the Blessed Mother wrap all of you in her mantle as you grieve. You will all remain in our prayers.

You expired Jesus ... I trust in You.
St. Faustina, pray for him.

There are no human words adequate enough to express LeeAnn...may Jesus and Mary speak to your hearts and souls sacred words of comfort, mercy and grace.

are my exact sentiments as I read all this. Our sorrow for you cannot be expressed, we are so sorry to hear of this cross you are being allowed to bear, you, and your precious young children, and all who loved your dear husband. May Jesus hold each one of you in his tender arms as you grieve, consoling you and give you the strength to go on and draw nearer to each other upholding each other through this time, by His abundant grace. We will keep you in our prayers each day!

LeeAnn, I have been praying ever since I read this thread on Monday. There are no words, but I echo what others have said. Praying for repose of David's soul and for consolation for you and your children and others around you.

Adding this link here in case anyone has not seen it. On Friday, during the time of David's funeral (2 PM Eastern), we will be closing the board for a time of silence to unite our prayers with the family and friends of David and LeeAnn.

Hour of silence for David Balbirona

I just saw this and don't know what to say.



Leeann, my prayers and Adoration hour for the next month are offered for you and your family.

I'm so sorry...so sorry.

Today is the funeral.

Please continue to hold LeeAnn and family in your prayers, especially during the Hour of Silence at 2:00 PM Eastern.

Your prayers from across the miles are a great gift, and those of us in attendance at the funeral are so grateful.

We place all our trust and hope in you, Jesus, and in your promise of eternal life.

We appreciate the thoughtful posts, Suzanne, and will join in prayer at 2:00 as LeeAnn and her children and all who knew David gather to pray for his Eternal Rest.

I've been praying since this was first posted.

Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord.....

and may His Grace, Peace, and Mercy be yours, LeeAnn, and with your family.

I'm so very sorry to hear of this.

Just read this before the hour of silence is scheduled. Am so glad to be able to pray along with all of you.

LeeAnn, may God continue to hold you in the comfort of his loving arms, and provide every grace and strength you need to carry this burden. Blessings and peace to you and your children.
