Just got the news that my father-in-law passed away a bit ago tonight. He had been in rapid decline this past week (though we only found out on Friday). Today they determined that he had probably had a small stroke last week. Because of the decline, we knew if would be coming but this was really fast.

Would appreciate your prayers for the repose of his soul - Jerome is his name.

If you could offer a prayer too for my youngest. He is having the hardest time. This is the third grandparent we have lost in less than 2 years. Every spring since 2010 we have lost someone - first my dad, then dh's mom last February, now his dad. It's been pretty rough - especially on him - a very sensitive one.

Oh Mary, I'm so sorry. We will pray for the repose of Jerome's soul, and of course will be praying for your family throughout all of this as you prepare arrangements.

my friend.

Mary,

We will be praying for your loss. We also lost someone every year for the past 5 and it is so very difficult to face.

Lots of love and prayers your way.
